Pretty acetic - really reminded me of Rodenbach GC or even Vin de Cereale. Apples, thin body. Tasty and quite drinkable, but not complex at all. Grainy, wheaty tang. Thanks Ken for bringing this. Very little head. Lighter in color than anticipated.

Bottle shared by ogglethorp. Reddish orange pour with no head. Musty malt aroma, some sour elements and light lemon. Light sour notes in the flavor, spices, caramel malt, lemon zest. Medium body, bitter/malty with a tart finish.

Hand-bottled courtesy of axilla. Copper color, absolutely no head or carbonation whatsoever, unusual to me for a beer with Brett. Tastes like a quadrupel with Brett. Amazing combination. Very malty, bit of a spicy finish. Lingered for awhile on the tongue, quite a balanced flavor. I really enjoyed this. It’s a great experiment of combining the sour aspects of Brett with a Quadrupel beer. I hope to see more of the same!

Hand bottled and tasted on 22 mar 08. Deep copper color. Sour aroma, hints of anise seed. Flavor is very bready, wood, vanilla. Some sourness, but lots of dough. Dry, medium body.

12 oz. handbottle - thanks andrew!! pours clear copper wit orange glow around the edges; as expected, very low carbonation; aromas are fruity with obvious sourness; texture is very thin and the brett is a little in your face; flavors are sour lemon, dates; would love to compare something to IH quad, but it seems the quad characteristics are changed quite a bit by the brett addition; interesting and tasty though

Appearance: Pours a clearish, amber body with a few stray bubbles here and there. Smell: Aroma of bread, almonds, used oak, and dried cherries mutated by funkifying Brett. Taste: Some malts, some sweetness, but the flavor is intensely Bretty *and* bready. Sour cherry fruitiness. Hint of almonds. Dry, funky finish that lingers on the tongue awhile. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Almost no carbonation. Drinkability: It’s certainly unique. Please, by all means, give it a try if you come across it.
