Hazy amber with a thin head. The aroma is fruity (galaxy), with bretty accents. Has a rich bitterness. Pretty clean, not really a ton of brett, but lemony, slightly mango hop character and fairly robust bitterness.

Draught at the brewery Cloudy light amber color, small compact head. The aroma is very nice, with plenty of fruits: citrus druits, a bit of tropical. Good body strength; it has a nice malt backbone, strong yeast character, a bit funky, pungent, with strong bitterness, strong resiny hops, and quite fruity. In general I prefer a clean IPA, but this beers works well for me too. Very good.

Draft - Grapefruit and brett yeasty fruit. Cloudy orange gold with a good white head. Tropical fruit. Light pith bitterness and a brett yeasty fruity finish. Bitterness is a it much for the delicate fruit, but still good.

Growler, pours a cloudy peach colour with a small white head. Nose brings out lots of peach upfront, dry bitter hops and light funk. Flavour is very bitter and moderately fruity, with peaches and mangos upfront, followed by moderate brett funk and a high dry hoppy astringency on the finish. Very bitter, too much so, especially on the finish. Could use more time for the brett and less late hop additions. Decent attempt but needs some work.
