5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Pours a creamy yellow copper color w/ a tall, lasting froth. Superb head retention leaving a thin silky sheet with a few islands. Strong aromas of cave sulpher, brett, dried salted meat, and aged fruit salad. Full nectar w/ soft, creamy residuals effers. This beer is beautiful. Strong flavors yet perfectly balanced right off the bat. A solid fruit backbone w/ strict peachpit bittering that sets up shop early. An ingeniuos use of hops. Theres a defined earthy cave character that intrigues me. Nuances of wild apple, vanilla cream, citrus rind, mild banana spice. The finish is bittered better than well and leaves a mild asprin tingle. Signature is a very complex beer with a full range of aromas and flavors. A strong earthy character sets the stage with rainbow of supporting fruit nuances to make this a classic event never to be forgotten. This is the best beer I’ve had in a while. I highly recomend it.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This was a little underwhelming. Poured a cloudy yellow with a decent white head. Flavor is alcohol meets hops to make a bitter pungent mouth feel. Does have a good body but would love a little more malt balance and presence.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
(gusher upon opening)apple juice looking body with a foamy white head.aroma is dusty hay,apple juice,malts,light fruits,and brett.flavor does much of the same with some brown sugar and spices thrown in.not bad but pretty average.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours out a orange/dark gold color with a small to moderate lacing white head. Aroma is of some fruit, hops, and slight brett. Taste is complex, banana, citrus hops and some yeast going on in there too, I got the brett a lot more on the aroma than the actual taste, none the less this was enjoyable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark golden with an off white head amd a fruity funky malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, tangy citrus, earthy notes.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured with a decent cream colored foamy frothy fluffy head and good lace. Color is a slightly hazy medium amber. Aroma is spicey yeast malt a bit of fruit. Flavor is like aroma but bitterness dominates the sweet. Good body and carbonation. Finish is like flavor with alcohol warming at the end of medium length. Decent beer, but nothing too remarkable.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottles from Sparky27 and Miketd - thanks! This one is my only bottle of batch 2 (the others are B!) and I wanted to see how I liked the fresh hop taste (as opposed to the brett later on). This one has a golden color with a big bubbly head. Aroma has some light citrus, yeast, and acidity. Flavor is somewhat hop dominant - a bit of Duvel mixed with a fresh IPA. Amarillo shines though here with some assorted floral hops, light brett, and a bit of tripel-ish sugar. I really liked it, but I have a feeling that if the brett kicks in this will be one outstanding beer.
