Poured a dark amber color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was tart noes, some barrel character. Lemon citrus character and a nice tartness to this one. A touch of puckering when consumed. Prettty good!

Draft. Hazy copper body with small off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, vinous, some Brett, light funk, dusky. Taste is moderately sweet, vinous, light funk. Medium body, light stickiness, dusky.

Amber pour, off white head. Butter, plastic, wine grapes, yeasty/bready malts. Odd.

Vinous beer, not very soru, more a a medicinal brett bomb. Lots of "medicinal" flavors.

Ambrée avec une petite mousse blanche. L’arôme de pamplemousse. Le goût est de pamplemousse avec une finale avec un peu d’amertume d’houblon. Très rafraîchissante.

Pours slightly red/amber color with off white head. Aromas of grapes. Buttery taste up front followed by the sweet and mildly tart grapes.

750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks a lot, Chuck), pours an opaque orangey ruby red with a small white head. Aroma of grapes, loads of brett and oak - very complex, inviting nose. Flavour is very funky and wild, with some lightly tart grapes, brett funk, oak barrels and some dank earthy notes. Very complex, with an earthy red wine finish. Highly drinkable, made so by the funky qualities. Excellent stuff.

Bottle shared by Vav at Alex’s (Masterski) Birthday shindig at Pipeworks. 750 ml bottle served in a New Glarus taster glass. Bottle April 2012. A: Pours a cloudy cherry color with some amber hues. A frothy white head forms on the pour and recedes to a nice bubbly color that leaves some splotches of lace. S: Baby diaper up front. Definitely sweet grape with light oak. There is a mild white wine flavor on the finish. Slighlty tart with some big funk. T: Grape juice like flavor is up front. There is an oak body with some sweetness. A slight acidity takes over and then this weird funk just takes over on the finish. M: Light to medium bodied with a nice carbonation. Funky finish. O: This just had some odd flavors to it. I wanted to like it as it sound delicious, but the brett just really provided some off flavors that didn’t mesh well with the base beer. It seems like it’s night and day between the tap and bottle versions so I would like to seek that out. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 06-15-2012

Bottle 750ml. Pours hazy, dirty orange, with no head. Aroma is of bretts, acetic acid, malt. Taste is very acid, malt, grapes. Overall: Not bad, but too acid for me. Not easily drinkable.
