Very funky hop forward beer, notes of wild strawberries, mangoes and fresh hay

Mixed-fermentation (Sacc/Brett) Pale Ale hopped with a heap of Mosaic & El Dorado.

Choice Escarpment labs yeast blend!

On tap at the source. Brett funk big in the aroma. Lace sheet. Spicy and yeasty. Quaffable summer ale albeit with alcohol in finish, on the tongue.on the point brett ale.

I honestly don't know how to classify this one style-wise. I fell back on APA because someone decided their Brett Golden Ale fit that category but it could plausibly be labelled a Belgian IPA, a Wild Ale, or a Saison. 500ml bottle from the bottleshop. Served lightly chilled in a nonic pint.

Pours a hazy light yellow. Champagne-like carbonation. Not much head but copious lacing.

Aroma is a heady mix of barnyard, spicy yeast esters, and tropical hops. Awesome.

Taste is definitely on the slightly sour and refreshing side of things, like a saison. Not nearly as hop-forward as I'd expected from the description. Barnyard funk is quite restrained.

Light and effervescent mouthfeel. There's a pleasant lingering spicy/funky aftertaste.

This is a nicely crafted beer but it's quite a bit less funky and hop-forward than I'd expected. Fits nicely in Burdock's rotation. From the description I'd hoped it would stick out a bit more.
