Pours orange gold with a small white head. Aroma of straw, yeast, and tart citrus. Taste is quite sour and funky., with some very strong cider-like notes. Honestly, tastes like a really funkyt cider, which isn’t a bad thing Really unique, interesting beer.

Bottle. Pale orange, crispy head quickly diminishing to mild lacing. mouthwatering scent of brett. Slight sour taste. Somewhat Dry finish.

Pours a lightly hazy gold color, with a small white head. Smells of lightly tart tannins, some Belgian yeast and light candy sugar, and some orange citrus fruit. The flavor has a nice sharp acidic bite to it, alot more sour than I was expecting. Sweet acidic fruits and Belgian yeast seemed to mesh together quite nicely. Nice complexity, the brett was abundant, but not overbearing. I really enjoyed this brew.

Hazy orange golden pour. Smallish white head. Sour apple is dominant in the aroma, as well as some barnyard funk, no doubt from the brett used here. Sourness level is fairly high but not over the top. Enjoyable brew.

Bottle sampled. Pours hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of hay, citrus, fruit, and yeast. The flavor is tart, fruit, citrus, hay, and green apples. Good body. Impressive.
