I found this to be absolutely wonderful. A great spicy aroma and big bubbly head, the flavor is spicy and light. The finish is just a tad too dry but quite wonderful throughout. Even at 11 bucks a bottle, this is worth it.

750mL Bottle. At least 1 year old. Heavy brett nose in cotton, almonds, apple skins, and sweet florals. Inviting, heavy on the Brett and delightful. A bit of minerals glide in with passionfruit. Delightful. Pours a brilliant deeper gold, with a rim of white. Flavor develops a blend of savory and sweet in Brett delight. Tart, bright, fresh and backed with a nice run of malty bread sugars in the middle for balance and composure. Excellent. A gummy bit of hops round out the backside, through a fog of mysterious cobwebs and dust from the Brett. A stunning use of Brett to finish a beer.

75 cL bottle, batch 2 tasted at Lost Abbey. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Yeasty, caramel and mild brett dry aroma. Flavour is dry and with a light brett accent to a classic belgian caramel an yeasty base beer. Complimenting the beer quite well and breaking the otherwise slight cloying mix with a nice dry crispness. Mild dry and yeasty finish. Smooth and delicious. 8-3-8-4-16=3.9

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of FlacoAlto. Slightly hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Medium body with sweet fruit and yeast and a fairly bitter finish. Nothing wrong with it - it’s just plain boring. And how it made it to an average of 3.86 really is one of this world’s great mysteries. 190608

Great combination. Not as unusual as I was expecting, but I could certainly taste the san diego style hops added to a very good belgian example.
4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Glowing orange with a sticky, thick head that contributes a great amount of lacing to the glass. Aromas of bread and strong lemon, rhubarb, and musky hops. Smooth and light, with a slick finish of french bread crust and plum preserves. Grassy hop, sour fruit, then a great punch of alcohol and raw hop/yeast/malt. Far from being unbalanced, this beer just has phases, and develops on the palate. Interesting and delicious stuff.
