Little Brett
Allagash Brewing Company

12 oz. bottle dated 05/22/18 poured into a 16 oz. mug. Strong pour needed to get a minimal fizzy thin white head that drops to a ring with little lacing. Label states straw color and they are right, plus some haze.

The funk; Wet ground under an apple tree in the fall, Silage, Dried horse dung.
The sweet; Pineapple, Grape bubble gum, Cherries.
The sour; Rhubarb, Hot and sour soup, Fresh lemon juice that is not so fresh anymore.
The bitter; Hops, Crab apples, Pepper.

The smell is a combination of funks, sweets and sours. When swished around different combinations are detected.

The taste is a combination of all four, The funks comes out in brief twinges while the sweets and sours are blended throughout the middle with the bitters at the end. A peppery bite lingers. Using different tasting techniques, different combinations of all four sensations are swirled around in a myriad of flavors.

Good carbonation helps richen the thin and slightly watery mouth feel , it improved as it warmed.
Don't drink this beer to cold.

Over all this was a roller coaster ride for the taste and smell. Not to much funk and sour, the taste is balanced by the sweet and bitter.

Hazy, golden color. The aroma of citrus, barnyard, and wheat. Refreshing, funky taste with light tartness and dry, hoppy finish.

 

 

 

 

Bottled 5/18. Almost a year old. Smell and taste on point. Look and feel a little thin. I’d be curious to try it fresh. Still very enjoyable. Purchased as a single. Would be interested in getting a 4 pack for a warm afternoon

 

Bottled 4/28/16; drank 5/28/16 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy pale yellow appearance; champagne bubbles throughout.

A rough pour yielded a small bright white head; nice lace.

Lemon, banana & cane sugar notes in the nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

Lemon, dry tea leaves & faint banana flavors up front; faint cane sugar notes on the finish.

An effervescent session brew that served me well on a hot spring night. Nice!

 

12oz bottle into Tulip
Bottled on 5/22/18
Pours light gold with thin white head, slight chill haze
Pineapple, funk, berries
Cereal grainy up front, followed by tart lemon, with a big funky finish
The feel is disappointing, very light and watery
Overall this beer is like a steps downward, amazing aroma, decent taste, and subpar feel which affects the overall experience

 

 

Pours a clear yellow with fine, frothy head.

Smell is fruity with a bit of bretty pepper to it. Notes of peach, citrus and a hint of spice.

Taste is fruity and almost a little bit tart as it hits the tongue. Notes of peach, citrus, rye and brett come and go, along with a soft, delicate bitterness and a long, slightly spicy finish. Very refreshing and greatly balanced.

Mouthfeel is thin to medium, well carbonated.

Overall, I really liked this. Refreshing and light, but with plenty of layers. Would gladly have this again.

This beer smells and tastes partially like what I call "Christmas tree" beers, essentially IPAs or PAs, like sea hag or little sumpin', but in a very light way, which I like.

However, the other half of the smell and taste is feces. It tastes like shit. I don't mean that to say it's bad, I mean actual shit. Every time I smell and taste it there is a faint hint of actual shit. I'm sorry, I have to stop drinking this because of that. But at the same time, I can almost not stop going back for a sip. Perhaps its like licking a woman's butthole in that sense. Something I've tried, but will pass on in the future.
