3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
One of the better fusion styles I have tried. The aroma is filled with citrus and yeast. The yeastyness balances out the hops in the flavor perfectly.

UPDATED: APR 26, 2008 Pours a hazy deep golden copper color with a white head. Aroma is some green apple, brett, lots of juicy citrus hops. Flavor is some malts, fruit, brett, and a long grassy, grapefruit bitter finish.

Big thanks to BeerZach for sharing this bottle.
Pours a light hazy amber to golden color with a white head. Smell is honey-like floral and floral hops. Light pollen like smell along with a hint of funk. Very delicate, soft flavors and the 8.5% was hidden very well. Pretty nice.

Original sample courtesy of Puddintane, available here now and more bottles on the way from 5000. Golden/orange with huge rocky white head. Aroma has a huge floral and citrus kick up front. Grapefruit, ortanique, faint pineapple. Slight yeast character shows through as well. Flavor on par, big fruity esters up front, again mostly grapefruit, fades to spicy herbalness. Very yeasty through the middle, fades to a tosted/biscuity finish. Medium-soft carbonation, can’t wait till the brett really kicks in.

Amber with a nice off white head. Aroma is alcohol, yeast, spice, faint caramel. Taste is alcohol, caramel, yeast, light brown sugar, mainly a heavy yeast taste.

Bottle. Pours a dingy orangish brown with some junk clouding it up and a sudsy head that is quite large at first, but dies down to a film after a few minutes. Aromas a little edgy... a bit of a tart cherry presence with some bread dough, green apple and a bit of a nondescript spice presence. Flavor is much more identifiable... Pretty much a honey bun malt presence that just barely peeks out from under a blanket of sour cherry and apple. Finish is tart and crisp.

Hazy orange in color with a medium well retaining off white head. Aroma: a good amount of american hops, mostly orange: amarillo? As well as some funky brett and light lemon rind. Taste is a bit mellower than the aroma, but still prietty nice with citrus/orange, a light malty sweetness, with light touches of tart brett and mild funk. Pretty good, and I am sure this will get better.

Bottle from Pizza Port Carlsbad Bottle shop consumed at Las Olas Mexican Restaurant. Yeasty aroma is balanced by a good bitterness. Interesting and it went well with the excellent Mexican food.
