A long time ago (well, 2004) in a Pizza Port not so far away (Solana Beach, CA), Tomme Arthur and New Belgium’s Peter Bouckaert brewed an all Brettanomyces beer they called Mo’ Betta Bretta. In April of this year Peter flew from Colorado and the two joined forces once again — this time at The Lost Abbey — to do a refresh of that beer. The beer was released at the brewery on June 9th and should be hitting shelves near you the week of the June 18th.

Golden yellow body with a frothy white head and splotchy lacing. Mild barnyard, citrus, hay, and fruity funk are in moderate abundance. Refreshing and quenching and nicely balanced. Some spiciness and herbal presence is detected, but soon muted by the calming, dry presence of the brett.

Aroma is fruity, mainly pear with hints of lemon and tangerine, plus yeasty and malty undertones. Pours an ever so slightly hazy amber with a fluffy and rather persistent white head. The bottle popped when I opened it, but at least I didn't have a miniature Old Faithful. Flavor fills the palate with fruit, apple, pear and tangerine, plus malt and yeast notes and just a whisper of butterscotch. Lively, fizzy texture has good, firm body and leaves a tingling fruity, malty finish that carries a butterscotch hint. Get knee-deep knee-deep knee-deep in this beer!

Very excited to try this but doesn't quite meet my expectations. Smells and tastes more like a regular belgian golden ale. For a "brett" beer, it is lacking more of a sour, funky characteristic that I was expecting. Ok but not worth the price.

A little more standard fruity yeasty belgian and a little less wild/sour than i was hoping for. if i remove the price from the equation, it's a really nice beer, for for a refreshing lightly dry and tart belgian ale, a buck an ounce is a but much.

I've had this twice now. Once on tap and once in bottles. Totally not impressed. Effervescent golden both times. No funk at all from the Brett just like Beerguy was saying. This was the first beer in both cases and I just didn't feel like this displayed the beauty and uniqueness of Brett.

Sampled on 7/7/2012. This wild ale pours a light yellow color from a 350ml bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, lightly funky, bretty and dry. A medium bodied wild ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal. Nice carbonation. A touch sweet, a touch tart and a little funky. Nice balance. Not all that funky, yet, but it has that nice dry bretty finish. Still fairly young, but I am not sure if this one will funk up with some age. Just going to have to age a few bottles and find out I guess. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
