Okay, now here’s a special beer. And I futzed with the lighting and everything, too, just to highlight how special this beer is. This blog is turning deluxe rather quickly.
Straw yellow, a bit cloudy, with a tight, white head. The aroma is citric and tart, with a small but obvious amount of brett (the horsey type - sorry for the half-assed link) tossed in. I expected more wildness from the smell, but this beer is dry, lemony, and refreshing, with a hint of brett always there to remind you of the barrel aging, and a subtle spiciness from noble hops (or some close relative of hop nobility). I love this beer.
