Little Brett is both hopped and dry hopped with 100% Mosaic hops and is completely fermented in stainless with our house strain of Brettanomyces yeast. Little Brett is a hazy, straw-colored beer featuring an aroma bursting with pineapple and notes of bread crust. Pineapple continues through the flavor with additional notes of fresh cut grass. A mild tartness in the finish is nicely balanced with a pleasant hop-bitterness.

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.
