4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20Golden, clear body, and the vigorous carbonation streamers rising up from the etched nucleation site at the bottom of the Duvel tulip glass gave this beer an attractive appearance. The smell of brett induced funk mixed with green apples, honey, and lavender was very intoxicating. The taste provided everything promised by the smell, and then some. The palette was dry like a saltine cracker, with an initial sour apple and herbal flavor, that transitioned into white pepper, honey, and coriander. The finish had a hint of cheese from the aged hops and then faded into a cider like aftertaste. The funk of Brett was there, but did not overpower. This appears to be a beer made to enjoy both fresh, and after aging, and I would love to pick up a couple of bottles for the cellar, so to see how it evolves.

Really just a saison with more alcohol. First Brett I've had and I was expecting more. I will try another after it has aged a bit. Hopefully aging will give it some more character.

3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Big fluffy white head which dissipates quickly. Golden brown. Relatively neutral nose; mild brett and a small hint of sourness. Medium to medium-heavy carbonation. Taste like a saison with a fuller body. Not all that interesting, but easy drinking. Flavor is the same as the nose. Finish is enjoyable, slightly more,sour and lasts. Disappointing overall for a Russian River collab. Underwhelming.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had a good mouth feel and some good brett and malt flavor, but this one didn’t really come together for me.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml bottle from Liquor Kabinet. Golden and slightly hazy with a white head. Fruity, wild yeast, grassy and herbal aroma with light spicy hops. Similar flavor with a crisp dry feel and a light body. Good, but I probably wouldn’t get it again.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
From bottle at HOTB. Pretty mild nose, light Brett and neutral fruity funk and some honey. Cloudy golden amber with white lacing head. Medium-heavy body with medium carbonation. Starts and stays sweet with mild Brett and light honey, caramel. Not much funk to this one. Perhaps needs to age a bit?
