This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was mostly a transparent yellow color with a small cap of a little white foamy head. This head slid off fairly quick. Some lace here and there.
The aroma had some floral sweet to funky character, some lemon pulp and basement character then a touch of sweet yeast. Light tart fruity rind, hard to entirely decipher - is that lime? Not sure.
The flavor plays with the blend of funky sweet to tart levels of swarming in and around each other. Semi-dry aftertaste with some lemon tartness, funk and grassiness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it due to the funkiness drying it all out. ABV and carbonation felt good. Finish felt good - somewhat dry, funky, lemony and grassy.
Overall, I did like this beer but I would love to have again to ensure that was lime I truly smelled.

A: The beer is clear yellow in color and has a high amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a two finger high bright white head that died down but never completely faded away.
S: Light to moderate aromas of barnyard funk from the Brettanomyces are present in the nose. The funk gets stronger as the beer warms up.
T: The taste shares similarities to the smell, but isn't nearly as funky and also has notes of earthy yeast and hints of floral hops.
M: It feels a bit more than light-bodied and rather dry on the palate with a high amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is really dominated by the yeast and has flavors of both funk and earthiness.

Cloudy, greenish gold. Small but lasting head. Decent streaky/blanketing lace.

Flowery and tropical in equal measures. Semisweet.

Neutral body with a very high carbonation level. The flavor has a low (pale) malt quotient. The hop is not as strong as the yeast bite. The aftertaste is bitter from both.

Picked a couple bottles of this up this morning at the tasting room in Queens, as part of the CBS. Poured from a 750ml into my Lost Abbey teku glass.

a - Pours a hazy bright yellow color with two fingers of fluffy bright white head and high carbonation evident. Head lasts for 3-4 minutes and leaves a lot iof lacing on the glass.

s - Smells of brett, oranges, floral hops, soap, citrus hops, yeast, grains, earthy notes, light funk, hay, and light barnyard notes. Nice brett and citrus in the nose.

t - Tastes of brett, oranges, citrus hops, lemon zest, Belgian style yeast, pepper, grains, fruits, floral hops, soap, perfume, lightly sour fruits, and light barnyard funk. Again, lots of brett. Little less than the nose though and more spice/pepper.

m - Light to medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp and easy to drink.

o - Overall it is a little bit one dimensional with the brett dominating, but considering I love brett I'm ok with that and like it quite a bit. Lots of brett and citrus throughout and easy to drink; a nice summertime beer. A great first effort and looking forward to more of their beers.
