Bottle @ Steve’s Foco. 2011 bottle thanks to Dave! Gusher. Pours a cloudy, dark orange appearance with a cream colored head. Prickly spicy, highly carbonated, bretty, dark citrusy, orange fruity, fairly funky, tasty aroma. Tangy, dark grape, plum, funky pineapple, light barnyard, mildly tart flavor. Nice stuff.

This beer pours a hazy brownish-red color with a medium light beige head that dissipates slowly. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Fruity aroma of apples and cherries. Medium body with flavors of tart cherry, yeast and wood. The finish is fruity with a lingering funky aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are brett, sour malt, cherries, caramel, leather, barnyard, acetone and hops. Slightly astringent. Nice beer.

Pours a deep rusty brown color with a couple fingers of eggshell foam. On the nose there is a good dose of brett funk, tart fruit and woody oak notes. On the palate its a bit more restrained on the funk than the tart nose would suggest but its balanced beautifully off the round caramel malts and deep dark plum fruit notes. The flavors drop into a earthy tea finish that allows some of the oak to shine with a dry dose of funk to finish it all up . YUM !

Bottle shared by Thorpe429. Served side by side with Bière de Mars Grand Reserve. The beer is orange to brown in color, with an off white head. Random, spotty lacing on the tulip. Awesome aroma, with a strong Brettanomyces presence. Funky, wild, and wonderful. The flavor is outstanding. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable. Medium to thin in body, with adequate carbonation. I am thoroughly enjoying this. Perhaps not as bold or daring as the Grand Reserve, but highly quaffable. I definitely recommend it and would have it again.

Pours a bronze amber with a thin white head and fizzy carb. The aroma is sour, wood, vinegar, with notes of tart apples and grapes. The taste is moderately tart with great fruity favors on the back end. It’s delicious, smooth, and refreshing. Great tart, dry finish. Great beer!

Pours a medium to light brown. Lactic aroma with hints of vinegar and rubber. Rather sour and not what I was expecting
