pushkinwow (3602) - Ottawa, CANADA - NOV 8, 2014500ml bottle. Clear amber with beige head. Hmmm... Not sure this does it for me... Sort of fruit sour funk vomit with a stale resin and prune hop aroma. Moderate carbonation, smooth, slightly bitter, lightly sour, huge fruit. Interesting but not for me.
czar (13375) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 12, 2014bottle shared by tom10101, thanks bro! pours hazy but bright medium dark golden with a reviving off-whtie head leaving nice lacing. fully bretty - leathery and fruity, sweet orange peel, spicy peaches, juicy tropical notes, soft resin and wood astringency. average carbonation, light to medium body - oily, never boozy (!), astringent and grassy-spicy-drying bretty finish. fun and tasty juicy bretty stuff! very good! much enjoyed!
tom10101 (6528) - Quebec, CANADA - AUG 31, 2014Bottle (500 ml). From Sammy, thanks! Clear bright amber with a small white head and little lacing. Aroma is quite hoppy with a nice brettanomyces presence, caramel, light sweetness, nice fruitiness, perfume hops and boozy notes. Taste is moderately sweet with brettanomyces, light caramel, alcohol presence, fruity notes and some juiciness. Medium to full body. Moderate carbonation. Oily and liquorous mouthfeel. Warming finish. Pretty good beer. Tasty, fruity and "drinkable" for the abv.
Luk_ (243) - Quebec, CANADA - AUG 31, 2014Bottle. Aroma is orange peel and lots of brett, also some hoppy grassiness. Taste is slightly tart along with hoppy bitterness and huge orange marmelade. There is a woody feeling from the brett-hop mix. Good idea on paper, but the beer felt rush with too much intensity and didn’t taste very good. Still decent.
GregClow (3402) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 11, 2014Bottle from the brewery. Dark golden-copper body with a good sized white head. Layered and nuanced aroma with notes of peach and apricot, mild funkiness, subtle oak, mellow vanilla. Similar character and complexity in the flavour - lots of fruit (peach, apricot, tangerine, lychee), oak and funk, peppery yeast, and a nicely dry and tart finish with a medicinal tinge. Hops have been blunted somewhat when compared to the sample I had from a fresher bottle a couple of months ago, but they still contribute some good citrus and pineapple notes. Really nicely done!
mathieuc (3997) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 3, 2014Pours a clear dark golden with a medium white head that leaves really good lacing. Nose is quite impressive with ultra ripe peaches and mangoes. Some light peppery alcohol also. Really perfumy. Taste is somewhat sweeter than expected, carries some nice tropical fruits again and is moderately bitter. There is a tangerine or orange flavor that is really fun in there, too. Alcohol is felt throughout but is never really cumbersome. Still pretty intense, though. Body is medium, carbonation too I guess but it might be the alcohol that stings. Overall an interesting brew, aroma and flavors are just perfect but it isn’t sessionable at all so I suggest that you split this bottle with a few friends.
