Pours a murky golden with 3 fingers of white head, infinite retention but not much lacing

Funky oak jumps out first in the aroma, a cracker character, perhaps a bit of florality

Starts tart and funky before settling to a semi sweet oaky char, almost a bit of smokiness to it. Some earthy hops dry it out on the end of the sip, very light tropical fruits

Medium bodied and very crisp between the pilsner malt and the funky brett, finishes mostly dry

It was cool to have something different, funky but simple, subdued but bold, I really enjoyed it. Worth $12.99? Maybe not, but I'm still glad I picked it up

Pours a slightly foggy medium yellow color, minimal white foamy head. Nice funky aroma, slightly floral. Interesting flavor. Some funk, earthy, floral - think roses. Medium bodied - oak treatment presents like a buttery Chardonnay. Bright, crisp acidity. Overall a nice beer, worth a try.
