500mL bottle from Sprayberry Bottle Shop (Marietta, GA). 9.99. Bottled in 2015 but the specific date has been smudged from the neck. Served in a goblet.
Pours a hazy, pale, yellow orange with three fingers of lively white head. The body remains fully opaque. Great retention with a consistent foamy layer that imparts only a few loose splotches of lace.
Smells citrusy with a good bit of earthen funk. Oranges, lemon pith, brett, earth, slightly floral and a vague vegital note.
Tastes of orange pulp, mandarin peels, light lemon zest, hay, grass, earthy bretty funk, pepper, cracker, flower petals and some vague salt. Any perceptible alcohol flavors don't make it through that Brett-laden barrage. No one aspect takes over so the flavors are an interesting marriage of farmhouse ale, brettanomyces funk and citrusy hops.
Dry, medium body with abundant carbonation that while livelier than I tend to prefer, keeps the flavors dancing on the palate. Salt lingers more in the finish than the initial taste along with some citrus, hay and earth.
I'm not a big fan of farmhouse ales for the most part but Brett C has more than enough going on to keep me interested. The more examples of mixing Brett and hops that I try the more I enjoy the results. I think Brett C is worth a try and will certainly purchase again myself at some point.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.1%. Gusher bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour, huge and coarse white head. Pleasant aroma of brettanomyces, farmhouse kitchen, citrus, oak and apple cider vinegar. The flavour is quite dry and moderately sour, notes of brettanomyces and citrus again, fairly distinct bittering hops, a hint of salt.

From the 500 ml. bottle stamped 17472CM2-10129-22017 and I'm not sure what it means. Sampled Feb 27, 2019.
The pour is a slightly milky but very heady looking light amber-yellow.
I'll admit up front that I'm not a fan of Brett beers but the aroma on this one is not as forward as some. Yes, I get that funky oily sensation with a dose of bread, biscuit, fruit, and yeast under it all. I found it appealing.
Light to medium, smooth mouthfeel.
The bread and biscuit sweetness gives way to a less than funky, flavor sensation along with a fruity character hovering back there. Mostly dry yet low tart finish. I'm not a Brett fan but this one is more approachable for me.

Poured from 16.9oz bottle into glass. Stamped dating information on bottle is '17471PT2 15:20 21917'.
Cloudy, pale gold colored body. Big release of carbonation (but no foam) upon removal of bottle cap. Long lasting billowy white head. Some sheets of lacing from the foam.
Aroma of lemon, funk, and resin.
Swirling tastes of tart lemon, piney (with resin) hops, and barn funk. A little salt (felt on the lips).
Medium to coating mouth feel. Very high carbonation.
Adventuresome mix of tastes, but they lack a real blending together. Where else can you find a glass with resin hops, funk, and tartness. This would probably be quite good at a farm gathering lunch with lots of fresh and savory food that would play off the different taste aspects of the beer.
