Courtesy of Redlight. Thanks Brent for sharing this rare treat. Poured a golden blonde with a thin white head. The aroma was of citrus fruits, spices, and some hops. The taste is pretty similar with a mild blend of sweetness and spices together. It had some malts in there and some brett like characters, but not real sour. This was an interesting blend of a lot of things. It finished off clean with some spices in the background. Nice collaboration with this one, glad I got to try it.

Gregis (1250) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - MAY 31, 2008
Bottle shared by theisti. Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a thin white cap and wispy lace. The nose is of Belgian yeast, light (Pils?) malt backed by a blend of sweet and lightly spicy hops that make it difficult for me to distinguish individual notes. Light-bodied and slick with a very dry finish. The flavor follows the nose with a dry and lightly spicy finish; a dry, bretty quality asserts itself after the swallow. This is a nice beer. Thanks again for sharing it with us, Tim.

Bottle shared by Taverner, pours hazy pale orange with creamy white head. Nose is yeast, farmhouse funk like with some and banana and other fruit influence. Smooth on the palate, and better after each drink!

Crushed with CaryTheDude and JakeBra. Orange pour with a big white head. Great big, fruity, leathery aroma. Brett is apparent. Flavor is fruity, a bit citrusy. Hoppy, but a bit too sweet. Regardless, I’m digging it. Pretty good for a random collaboration, and a random pickup.

Bottled, Thanks to Kacie, Hazy amber pour, slight dissipating off white head. spicy orange peel aroma, yeasty and delicious. small amount of alcohol at the end. Citrus hops, orange peel. Spicy alcohol at the finish. Well balanced, Not incredibly remarkable but very satisfying. I like
