Primary fermentation blend of Brett C and Sacc, then dry-hopped with Comet and Citra, this beer has some barnyard funk and underlying tropical fruit notes

From a growler :
Moderately hazy gold, with light-moderate, persistent, white head. (For what it is, it's a large, long-lasting head. ;) )
Smell is light citrus (mostly lemon candy-ish) , some (freshly-opened) Band-Aid, with a bit of earthy, aged manure.
Taste is moderately strong funk (BAND-AID[mostly] + "horse blanket" + [composted] manure) , light mixed citrus - mostly candied lemon, light grass, with a touch of spice - [coriander +black pepper, as with a rye beer, or a Belgian saison.] The funk mellows, and the other elements emerge, especially the citrus, as it warms.Some light bitterness on the finish.
Feel is moderately light, with very fine, sharp carbonation on the finish. The carbonation tingle combines with the bitterness to give a drying effect on the finish.
Overall, I like it. The Band-Aid aroma & flavor was a bit over-strong when cold, but as it warmed , that element faded a bit , becoming a compliment, rather than the main element. I'd have it again, and would recommend giving it a try .

On tap at George Keeley, NYC.
Pours an amber color with a big fluffy head. The head displays amazing retention, causing it took take quite a while before I can commence drinking.
The nose opens with a touch of earthy funk. This is soon surpassed by aromas of candied fruit, pineapple, citrus and melon. I even detect a touch of mild hops aromatics that are dank.
The taste showcases the fruity aspects of brett, with a muted rustic and earthy flavors. Flavors of citrus fruit, peach, and peppery spices, with a well placed touch of light tartness.
Medium bodied and well carbonated. The finish is very dry with a touch of tartness.
Nice interpretation of the brett/wild ale style that is fruity and not overly sour or funky.
