4.36/5  rDev +8.2%
look: 5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

Bottled: 5/17/12

Pours hazy golden orange with three fingers of head. Steps of lacing appear as the beer goes down. Just gorgeous.

Aroma offers a bounty of fruitiness. Pear, citrus, green melon, apple juice, faint cider vinegar, are all present with sweet biscuit malt.

Less fruity than nose with more toasted biscuit, ripe red apple and some funky brett dominating. Finish brings a wash of bitter dryness.

Soft, lively carbonation. Dry finish.

Great use of brett in this beer. This would be a fine introduction to brettanomyces. Might grab several bottles for the future.

Serving type: bottle
