Shakeyfest 09. Batch 1. Thanks Andy! Pretty boring really. Little bit of alcohol-slightly too much. Hint o’ brett. Kinda fruity. Really rather basic.

Appearance is golden, slightly hazy with a white head. Aroma is slight, somewhat sweet with a bit of yeast thrown in. Taste is spicy with a sweet but dry finish. Nice a crisp but with some substance as well, yeast is also fairly predominant. Overall, a very pleasant beer, not overpowering but very interesting.

"THANKS GULLY!!! For sharing this gem with me still really don’t know what it was except for awesome. (BATCH #2) Hazy straw gold body holding up a rocky white cap that leaves behind roapy lacing. The taste and aroma are just screwed it’s a mix of like three different styles, what is this?!?!?!? Aroma is sweet with non harsh burnt rubber elements, apple, floral shop, pine apple, wheat…..so unique so yummy. Taste is so sweet and smooth and no beer in history has ever come close to tasting like this. Belgian yeast, wheat, apple, tonic water, raspberry , grape juice and mild tart finish. I want more!!!!!!!!!!!! this is so complex you taste something new every sip. This is a beer that I’ll never forget and will stock up on if it ever comes to this neck of the woods."

Bottled. Bam and explosion is the best way to talk about this beer. The beer pours a hazy golden yellow with a thick white head. The nose is sweet and fruit with a hint of sour. The flavor is strong fruits and a hint of Brett yeast. I love hybrid ales like this one. Overall I loved this beer.

From bottle@Københavnske Øldage 2009. Clear gold colored, firm white head. A pleasant, lightly spiced fruit aroma with a scent of mealy and doughy malts, barnyard and cellar. Taste is fresh malty, sourish fruity and funky, the Brettanomyces is doing its job indeed. Notes citrus zest and berries. A fine, fresh hop bitterness in the backbone. Slight astringent mouthfeel. Dry, bretty, lightly spiced ending. Highly refreshing, top drinkability. What a nice one!

Bottle, 75cl corked, at Copenhagen Beerfestival. It pours an unclear, golden body under a small, white head. Bretty nose with citrus, pale malts and a spiced touch. Pale malts, spice notes, bretty funk, some lemon and alcohol makes a nice flavor, leading to a bitter finish with fruits and some brett. Dry, almost dusty mouthfeel, slightly astringent and warming. A lovely one, quenching and refreshing as hell. (090516)

Two year old 750. Cloudy, golden orange with a nice fluffy head. Subtle, funky aroma. Light and balanced with lemon, tangerine, pear, apricot, and cherries in a smooth, sour, grassy concoction. Age performs wonders.
