Chupacabra Quinceañera is a refreshing 100% Brett-fermented blonde beer bursting with clean tropical aroma from the unique brett strain used for fermentation. These notes are complemented with the subtle use of Simcoe and Amarillo hops, which add layers of tangerine and passionfruit. It's quite the party.

Another August 7, 2016 consumption around the pool. But then I also cracked another bottle last summer, same location.

Pours a light orange/peach like color, 3/5" white head, slight cloudiness. Nose was almost like it was an ipa, had a good amount of Amarillo hoppy notes pushing around some tangerine, pear, hay, papaya like notes. I like it so far.

Taste was interesting as a wild ale, had more in common with an ipa still I thought when fresh. The older bottle took on some light brett notes, but not a lot even though it had 4 years to develop. Weirdly, there didn't seem to be a lot of drop off in the aroma or taste regarding the hoppy aspect, Simcoe still pushed some bittering weight around on this one 4 years later. A lot lighter bodied than I thought it would be given the high amount of smells and tastes. Well carbonated. There is a fruitiness to it that seems beyond just the hops, this might be an interesting brett strain interaction with everything else. I liked it.

750ml capped bottle into a Surly teku. Shared with schen9303.

Nose is the definition of Brett. Funky, tropical pineapple, coriander, sweet and foam. Real aromatic too. The flavor is where this beer loses me. The funk is present. Pineapple, rotting wood, cobwebs, peppercorn, foam and coriander. Big spice notes with a subtle hint of pineapple. However, there's a distinct bitterness here that doesn't fit the rest of the flavor profile and it never fully goes away, turning into a bitter tartness right at the end. Body is light, crisp and refreshing with a ton of carbonation. Real drinkable.

As far as a Brett beer goes, this is pretty good. However, the bitterness is hard to get over in the flavor profile. Maybe sit on this one a little? See if that hop bite goes away?

750ml bottle poured into a tulip appears a clear pale yellow color with big white froth resting atop.

It displays a pleasant aroma of fruity hops meets tropical brett with a slight husky straw graininess.

The taste is fruity with mild tropical flavor and hint of alcohol with what seems like butter and corn in the aftertaste.

This is light in body with modest carbonation. The nose was not bad but the taste was pretty meh.

L - Pours a cloudy hay colored body with a frothy three finger eggshell colored head. Great retention and lacing on this beer.

T - Tropical fruits, funk & barnyard, some hopbite and citrus.

F - Light bodied, high carbonation and a dry finish.

O - Super easy drinking funk forward beer.

A: Poured into a Duvel tulip to a light gold topped by a dense three finger white head that retains very well and leaves good lacing
S: Smells of funk, barnyard, tropical fruits and a little bit of band aid. Slight hop bitterness on the nose too
T: Taste is tropical fruits, funk, slight horseblanket, some pineapple, a little hop flavor at times too with a little pine and citrus. Swallow is more funk, with some slight mustyness and lingering tropical fruit
M: Fairly light in body with slightly prickly carbonation and a drying finish
O: This is a very nice beer and an interesting take on the style. Good hop notes and lots of brett influence. It will be interesting to see how this changes over time.
