On tap at GABS festival in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a golden colour, fairly hazy with nice foamy head of cream-coloured lace that sticks around nicely. Not bad.
Smells fairly funky but with a big, strong green apple edge. Otherwise Bretty, funky, with barnyard notes and a touch of vinegar. Decent.
Huge champagne character on the palate. Some shallow barnyard characters that don't really plumb the depths of their potential, a touch of oak and a mildly tart vinegar edge. Mostly just a refreshing Bretty kind of sour palate. Decent.
Body is fine, not a lot of texture. Touch of warming alcohol.
Could use more carb, or possibly acid pull, to cut through. Ultimately feels a little heavy although the taste is pretty nice.

Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne. This was billed as a Barrel-aged Brett Blood Orange Saison.
Pours a very pale orange golden colour with some hazing. Body is pretty light, especially for the ABV. Head forms a firm ring of white that leaves a little minor lacing. Carbonation is fine but fast when the glass is tilted. Looks good.
Light fragrant tones on the nose develop into full-blown bretted oak-barrels. Pepper and spice mingle with acidity and wood and a bright, light astringency. Yep, it pretty much delivers what you expect.
Light acid on the front of the palate, moving into a rather earthy, dusty tone much like a bière de garde. Sharpness and spice and more earthy funk towards the back along with a long, flat bitterness. More lingering earth in the aftertaste. Feel is pretty light, but suitable for the style.
Very solid drop and really nice to drink. A very pleasant brett-heavy barrel-aged brew that draws favourable comparisons to Jolly Pumpkin, in my mind. Keep doing what you're doing, HopDog boys.
