500 mL bottle purchased at brewery 8/6/19. Poured into Aslin anniversary glass.

L: Somewhat clear pale gold. Nice big foamy white head with good retention an a cap and ring. Lots of white lacing.

S: Citrus and brett yeast. Pretty straightforward.

T: Citrus and floral, light, with a malty and yeasty finish. Fairly neutral. Straightforward.

F: Light-bodied, pretty well-carbonated. Crisp and refreshing. Uncomplicated but well-balanced.

O: I would say this is as average of a farmhouse ale as it gets. Drinks well, not spectacular, but solid.

$ 10.59 (Including tax)/500 mL capped bottle ($ 0.627/oz) at Lionville Beverage, Exton, PA.
“Date bottled 05.11.17” clearly marked on the label. Stored at 42 degrees and served at 54 degrees in a hand-washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 4.
Body – Light orange, hazy. Some sediment on bottom of the bottle.
Head – Large (Maximum 5.5 cm, slow center pour), white, dense and creamy with a few rocks, good retention, slooowly diminishing to a three to five mm ring and a complete thin layer with a rocky center island. Head retraction provides some open lacing. Head from second pour is the same but only half the size.
Lacing – Initially complete thick rings of tiny bubbles. As the level drops, the rings become connected by columns.
First pour – Light yellow, clear. Second pour has only slight haze.
Aroma – 3.75 - Fermenting fruit. Lasts.
Flavor – 4 – Mellow without the frequently harsh funkiness produced by Brettanomyces species. A hint of fruity sweetness followed by some low-key funk. The funk lasts into the aftertaste. Distinct malt or hops flavors are not present. No alcohol, no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 3 - Medium, watery, lively carbonation.
Impression and summation – 4 – Other than the palate, this is an above-average brett saison. The appearance is good, the aroma intriguing, the flavor mellow and lacking the frequently jarring flavor combinations of Brettanomyces species -fermentation. Only the palate is amiss, being somewhat over carbonated for the viscosity – either less carbonation or a thinner brew.

Appearance: The hazy golden liquid is capped by a massive head of foam that sticks like marshmallows melted on a a sweet potato casserole

Smell: Bready, with leather, minerals, peppery spice and vague lemon tones

Taste: Bready, with a hint of apricot, at the outset, but the mineral and leather tones take over the middle; some tart lemon character, after the swallow with a funky, somewhat oxidized finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: Not one of my better experiences with Wicked Weed, sadly

Poured from a tall bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Cloudy light copper brown pour. 2 fingers of foamy white head. Solid rim of lacing.

S: Funky... brett and lemon. Tart fruit.

T/F: Tart without being sour. Lots of funk and brett character. Tart fruits... pear, green apple rind, lemon, and grassy. Crackery malts... mild sweetness in the background. The finish is green fruit and funk. Medium to light in body... smoother than expected.

O: A solid brett'ed up farmhouse ale. Good mix of tart fruit and funk. Was expecting a bit more based on the brewery's reputation but certainly enjoyable.

Poured into a Tulip glass, clean golden body, starts with a great head that slowly sinks down and settles in the glass, one streak of lacing. Smells floral with tart fruits, white grape and pear. Taste is similar with the strong floral notes as well as the tart fruits and a very light malty taste.

This version was brewed with pears.

Appearance: orange in color with a 1/2" head that falls to some spotty surface foam.

Smell: brett and some farmhouse funk come through to the nose.

Taste: crackers, biscuit, grass, pears, tart green grapes, farmhouse funk, and a decent bitterness.

Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Crisp throughout. Dry finish. Refreshing.

Overall: a very good funky farmhouse ale with just the right amount of fruit and tartness.

If you like Brett beers, this one is very good. Clean, crisp, and very drinkable. And it has a great name too.
