    Batch 005 - 375ml btl - Big foamy white head. Not much loacing. Horsy aroma of bandaids and iodine. Dull yellow body. Flavors of sour apricot and kiwi. Thin body. Highly drinkable for a sour beer fan.

    Picked up at Ledger’s a couple years ago. Pours hazy deep gold with straw hues and white head. The aroma is the big bad B. along with light amounts of apple and some hay. The taste is crisp with some tart aspirin notes to go along with faint sweet apple like fruitiness in the background. It ends dry and crisp.

    Bottle batch 006 thanks to timfoolery: Poured a hazy yellow with a carbonated white head. Sour fruit with that brett funk. Taste is full on soured fruit that puckers my lips and tingles my tongue, the brett leaves my mouth dry.

    Pours barely translucent apricot with a fair off-white head. Aroma yields sharply tart fruit, mainly tropical with some citrus and pomme. Flavor produces tart fruity and fresh malt notes, crisp and drinkable. Texture offers OK body and perky fizz. Sanctified.

    Sampled from bottle. Pours faintly cloudy gold with a white head. Tropical, funky aroma. Balanced and sour. Pineapple, wild cherry and hint of barnyard in the flavor. Aggressive carbonation. Quite enjoyable. No faults. Try it if you can find it.

    Had this beautiful brew on tap at Russian River in Santa Rosa. Pours a hazy golden-orangeish colour with a nice fluffhead. Some soft tropical fruit, yeasty notes and pepper. Taste is mildly acidic, semi sweetness, lemon and well integrated hops.

    I had this beer as part of a 14 beer sampler at the Russian River Brew Pub on 14 July 2011. I also had a full glass of this sour and funky beer! It was one of my faves on the evening - a sour bomb. This was funky and smelled of horse blanket - a true brett beer.

    Light golden Belgian Ale that is all about showcasing the Brettanomyces. Dry and bland malt base with a heavy dose of spicy pepper, lemon and a hint of coriander followed by a full bottle of funky barnyard yeast.

    Pours a hazy honey yellow gold .. great foam, lacing is like happy clouds .. beautiful aroma, nice and bretty .. .tastes like playing a harmonica, delicious stuff, light and refined .. . And I and my brother, who's now an alcoholic himself, just about died laughing. - And this is a happy memory for you? - Of Course!
