4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Poured yellow with fluffy white head. Aroma of fruit, hops, and some spice. Perfect blend of flavors in this one that included hops, fruit, spice, and pine. Finish was smooth.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a deep orange-brown with a medium sized ivory head. Aroma is of hearty, heavy malt, toffee, caramel, cloves, cream, and light fruit. Complex aroma. Flavor is again complex; sweet honey, thick malty body, perfect hop counterpoint, and the brettanomyces is subtly, perfectly pronounced. Bitter hops and a lingering sourness give me a shudder as I gulp. Thick mouthfeel, sticky finish. Big, complex, and delicious. About flawless in execution. Perhaps not as exciting as a Ferrari, but indeed as elegant as a Rolls-Royce. Damn. Overall, world class.

Picked this up at Ted’s Butcherblock in Charleston, SC. Pours a golden orange with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of brick oven baked bread, corriander, and sweet citrous. Bitter finish from the generous hopping. Very good.

Courtesy of miver. Poured a hazy amber/golden color body with a really nice foamy white head. The aroma was barnyard funk, hay, citrus and floral hops. Flavors with some sweet citrus and mild tropical fruits, funky yeast with a little tartness, and some grassy barnyard notes.

My bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, tupalev & mds -- courtesy of toncatcher. Pours a cloudy dirty yellow with an average size diminishing foamy white head. Aroma: Wow, that smells great! Fruity, yeasty and floral along with spices and hops. Dry, yeasty, bready flavour with a good amount of spices and citrus along with some sweet malt, light hops and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Medium bodied, nice amount of carbonation. This exceeded my expectations, it’s simply fantastic!

Pours hazy dark golden color with off white head. Bready yeast aroma with caramel and brett. Flavors of citrus, caramel malts and tartness of brett. Medium body with livel carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. I’d like to try this with about 6 more months on it to see how the brett flavors change.

Bottle sampled at Lost Abbey during RBSG. Pours the color of unfiltered apple juice and just as hazy. Head is soft with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is canned peaches with some funky brett. Flavor is yeasty with a peach syrup sweetness and a dry brett/hops finish. Alcohol is invisible. Interesting beer.

Poured from the bottle, this hazy yellowish ale had a remarkable aroma easily decernible from a distance. A full bodied flavor followed that was the perfect after dinner libation that finished strong but at the same time mellowly.
