3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Monk’s Cafe, Philadelphia tap ($8): Pours an orange color with a white head. Aroma is like a garden: floral, grassy, earthy, and a bit non-descript funky. This IPA is hop-heavy, but has an undertone of earthiness and funkiness. I think it might be a little off-balance, but it is still quite good. Good to have this as my first Brett IPA.

Flaske: Orange let diset øl med et fint skumhoved. Duften er let brettet. ikke meget humle. Smagen er faktisk rigtig brettet uden antydning afhumle før den store bitterhed der tydeligt viser at det er en IPA: Det sjove er at det faktisk fungerer udmærket.

Keg at CBC, London. Pours hazy amber with a medium, white foam head. Has quite a floral nose with some brett, yeas and berries. Light to medium sweet flavor, lightly dry and yeasty, with lots of dry and bitter grass, brett, light funk. Medium to full bodied with average, smooth carbonation. Dry, highly bitter to finish with plenty of dry grass, perfumey hops. The grassiness is a touch abrasive. A little bit too bitter in the end, but there is some really nice bretty and yeasty dryness in here.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
04/05/2012 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Ambrata, torbida, opalescente, schiuma leggera biancastra, poco persistente. Al naso un discreto bouquet fruttato, con note di agrumi e pesca, col tempo emerge anche qualche puzza. In bocca è amara, molto sgraziata, sicuramente particolare ma di non facile beva. Corpo medio, carbonazione abbondante. Una Orval luppolata? A me non mi è piaciuta.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Farmers Cabinet with Dallas, Vin, and Tony. Pours a hazy amber body with thin lacing. Aroma is light hop mixture, weird spice, and some funk. Mouthfeel is aggresively carbonated with notes of floral and citric hops, citrus fruits, light funk. Something tasted a bit off, which in my opinion held this back from being a great Brett-infused ipa.
