Bottle: The aroma consists of oranges, apricots, light lemon, and faint sweet tarts. It pours a hazy golden-orange with a one finger white head that leaves behind some nice webbing behind on the sides of the glass. The flavor starts with orange, apricot, and mango. The finish has some light-moderate lemon and white wine. It’s light-medium with soft carbonation and mouthfeel.

Bottle. golden-yellow colour with a white head. Aroma is alcohol, citrus, brett, spices. Flavour is alcohol, orange, citrus, brett, spices, sourness, yeast. Very nice beer.

Bottle sample at the Where the Wild Beers Are 2012. Pours a bright, hazy orange body with thin white lacing. Aroma is fresh, citrus fruit, apricot, and sweet peach. Mouthfeel is soft and delicate with notes of citric wheat, sweet juicy fruits, a light tart funk, and sour peach. Another wonderful example of why HFS has the biggest Dad on the block, and he’ll knock you the f*** out.

Bottle thanks to Paul. Beautiful opaque and cloudy golden/orange with nice head. Very aromatic nose, everything is well integrated. White wine and citrus at first, and then wheat and bretts. Some leafy hops can be found. Somewhat volatile, the alcohol is definitly present but not too much considering the high abv. Taste is coherent with the aroma with more hoppy bitterness and a solid brett presence. Full bodied and lively carbonation makes it very drinkable for its 10%. Very well executed and unique.

Bottle #61 @ FOneFan courtesy Nightfall. Slightly hazy golden with big white head. Aroma is malt, fruit, yeast, spices, hop and brett. Flavour is malt, brett, medium dry, citrus, hop, little sour, little grapefruit and a little bitter.

Bottle 750ml @ fonefan
Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes malt, wheat, yeast, sugar, brett, citrus, grape and white wine. Taste is light to medium sweet, light bitter and light sour with a dry, fruity and vineous finish. Body is full, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Heady sweet citrus funk on the nose. Gorgeous golden hazy body with a white, delicate head. Tastes wheaty, bright, and citrusy with a nice, almost chewy brett bite. Assertive and complex, somewhat dry, very full-flavored. Lively, full-bodied carbonation, almost creamy but tempered by the citrus tang. I can’t imagine a situation where I would not enjoy this beer.

Another grand slam by Shaun. You sir are amazing. Tons and tons of oranges. Some mango and pineapple flavors. After drinking I taste like I chugged a big glup of orange juice.
