Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is actually fairly nice. I get some lemons and wheat, as well as a very inviting tartness. The flavor is not as good as the aroma. I get some wheat and lemons as in the aroma, but I also get a strong taste of band-aids. Not good at all. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Slightly hazy oranged color, strong carbonation in appearance. White fluffy head, still.
At the smell fruitiness. Orange and citrus fruits. Peach and melon. Flowers. The citric balanes the smell, otherwise too heavy for the ripe fruitiness.
Definitely, maybe too much, citric at the taste. Not unpleasant, but the citric covers all the rest.
Tart in the aftertaste too: lemon juice. And dry.
Quite peculiar.

Good and lasting head and a amber foggy beer. Nose shows lots of Brett, sour cherries, blue cheese and very estery and fruity overal. Taste is sour and sweet cherries, bretty and a very full overal impression. With that lots of alcohol and good but not overdone bitterness in aftertaste. Good carbonisation and balanced taste make mouthfeel good( except for a maybe litle overdone sweetness. Drinkability is so good that you should keep in mind that this one has 9.5% cause it runs down easier then water.
Edit jan 18-2006: great Bretty arome develloped even further. After removing the cage the cork bombed out. Only got better but wonder if this can't explode cause never had a pop like this... only can warn: handle with care: explosive!
