St. Bretta Citrus Wildbier
Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project

Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a one finger head; dots and shards of lacing

Smell: The lemon and Asian pear tones mingle with the funk and oak

Taste: Funky, from the outset, with the Asian pear setting the tone; there are hints of lemon, through the middle, but the oak takes over to drive home the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A pleasant and interesting Brett beer

Damn. It took a playa a second to find this beer, but found it Raul did. And you know what? This beer is like Tiger Woods when he is off steroids and staying up hella late on Ambien: it’s good, but it’s not the best. Medium funk and citrus, and well, that’s about it. Kind of has an off aftertaste like Tiger’s wife hitting him over the head with a 5 iron after she found out he cheated.

Yeah, it’s just aite.

 

 

 

Pours a cloudy effervescent golden straw color. Thick frothy white head collapses slowly leaving no residual head.

Aroma has notes of tart Meyer lemons, Valencia oranges, light wheat and grain malt notes, and funky tangy notes. Aroma is tart enough that it triggers a response on the palate -immediately I'm expecting a decent level of tartness.

Taste follows the nose with some immediate tartness, albeit not as tart as the nose implied. Notes of Valencia orange, lemons and some light grain notes come through. The tartness is most prominent up front before vanishing quickly leaving a light almost watery finish. Slight peppery bitterness linger on the finish.

Feel is light and very drinkable. Light to moderate tartness provides a slight puckering sensation on the palate. Watery finish.

Overall a solid Brett beer.

 

 

I found a 3 year old bottle of this.
L: brilliant gold pour produces a massive, pillowy, persistent white foam collar that leaves thick lace

S: wet horse blanket, barnyard, wet wool socks, citrus, fruit, pear, and over ripe fruit

T: fruit hits the tongue first, highlighted by citrus, pear, pomme fruit, over ripe fruit and pineapple. While the funk leads, a mellow tartness provides support and character

F: very creamy, yet soft Brettanomyces carbonation with an airy, mousse-like texture. The boundary line between foam and body is very thin. The beer is light with a touch of astringency

O: a joy to drink and has me craving a baguette and a chunk of runny Epoisse to eat with it

 

 

Hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma has nice brett esters, not too intense, fruity and grassy with some rustic barnyard notes. Taste is tart and yeasty, really balanced and citrusy, medium salinity, quite mineral and dry. Medium body and carbonation, really soft on the palate though.

Poured a turbid orange color with a off white fluffy head that soon falls

Smell of coriander, yeast, citrus, a little funk

Taste of yeast, citrus, funk, acidity,lemon zest

All around a fantastic beer. Very drinkable
