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.

Pours yellow with a gentle haze and white head for creamy foam. I am using my farmers glass for the saison. nose is earthy with funk and tart with lemon. Sour and herbal pepper with a nice dash of weak black pepper too. You know the kind in the tin, its so old it's weak but you can still taste it. Firm cracker for malt. Flower petals mixed with sharp greens. Pungency. Right before you exhale a gentle sweetness form the light sugar.

Taste is crisp and dry. Earthy and abundant with malt. Sultry with herbal and the palate loves the lemon and spicy earth. Malt is firm and finishes the beer hearty. A dusting of barnyard. Bitterness and bubbles finish it gently and that brings a smile as the light lemon peel lingers.

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.
