Sampled at FoBAB 2009. Pours a well hazed reddish amber, small offwhite head that laces a bit. Aromas are bretty and sour, funk dominant with barnyard, fruit, blackberry, red wine tannins. Initial is lightly tart, still bringing the sweetness of the blackberries, good bitter red wine tannins. A touch of alcohol, but largely fruit and tart dominant. Very nice and fizzy on the palate

FoBAB 2009. This poured a murky reddish amber with a skinny white head and left some spotty lace. The aroma was tart and fruity with a touch of Brett funk and some old wood. Same with the flavor, although it seemed to leave a fuzzy feeling in my mouth. Oddly, I kind of liked that.
