Draught at The Cambrinus Bier Cafe, Bruges, West Flanders, Belgium. Hazy amber with off white head. There is quite a significant yeasty character to this, some tartness, some pear drops. The sourness is there but it is balanced with a sweeter element. Tartish plums perhaps cherry. Decent.

Herbacianej barwy, zamglone. Piana puszysta, trwała, zdobi szkło. W aromacie dzikie nuty, delikatna stajnia. Jest też trochę słodko, owocowo. W smaku wyraźna słodycz, kwaśne na średnim poziomi. Pijalne.
De geur is lekker zurig zoals het hoort. Veel schuim als je het uitschenkt. De smaak is redelijk zacht, de geur is meer zuur dan de smaak.
I love my stinky Brettnose❤. Der Sud schimmert edel ambertrüb und ist fast perfekt proef-beschäumt!!! Geil!!! Dann die dezent säuerliche CherryMaltRutsche...ein unauffälliges Herangehen an die Sour Ale Geschichte im allgemeinen und zwischendurch erfrischend belgianaleig...mit Hang zur roten Traube. Auch ganz geil.. 🎆. Ein Hauch Kupfer und Zitrus, fertig ist der Shorty 👌 0,33l Belgian Supermarkt Stuff...and sooo cheap 😉. Es schäumt, sämt und stumpft...aber alles ganz easy ;)...
(ample-mousse, l'amertume augmente progressivement, odeur pomme acidulée, pour connaisseurs)
Bottle 33 cl, Edition 2013. Pours a hazy amber to putple with a small yellowish head and an aroma of caramel, fresh apples, vinegar, funk, yeast and oak. The taste is medium sweet, with medium funky notes and a medium lasting bitter finish. I do like it
Bottle from Delhaize, Brugge, consumed at home Thursday 2nd November 2017 in the company of Lynn and Barry cooking Roasted Chicken with Clementine and Ouzo. Pours light amber with a white head. There is a neat little tartness, fruity and there is a soft mouthfeel, almost minty at the edges. Dryness finish, like it. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

Dunkbar Pilsnerfestival Pre-tasting. Hazy amber with a lasting white head. Fruity aroma with funky notes of leather and grapefruit peel. Dry fruity flavour with light funky character and a light bitter finish
At the Caulier 28 bar Brussels Central station. Clear brown colour. Lasting beige head. Mostly brown malt aroma. Light brett malty. Lemon finish. Ok. .develops into an interesting brown beer with brett
red shiny body, beige foam. Bretta flavour, which can be found in the taste as well, along with caramel. Astringente in the end. Well balanced bitterness with a right carbonation. Kinda peculiar, as the bretta doesn't cause any issue.
Watching some old Sherlock Holmes episodes with Jeremy Brett, so here’s to him: a wild ale. Poors dark amber with big, medium dense head, slow to disappear, leaving some good lacing. Aroma of brett immediately apparent but not very crisp, some alcohol and some sweet malts. Taste: some tartness, sweet malts too overpowering, alcoholic, watery. Too much carbonation.
Excellent brett beer, well balanced, enough malted and very nice brett yeast tatste
Bottled. Edition 2013. The aroma has sweet caramel tones, some berries, hint of brett but not much. Bit hazy, amber coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is sweetish, has caramel, some berries. Not impressed.
Bottle. Interesting, rich and relatively complex. Assertive bretty barnyard mixes well with solid caramelly malty base and an interesting moderate coconut woody note. Very light sourness, medium-high sweetness. Slightly off balance, but I do not mind. Tasty.

Brettanomyces. Mot qui me donne toujours des craintes certaines ainsi qu’à mon palais dans l’attente de savoir si l’acidité va tout ravager sur son passage.
Et j’ai été plutôt agréablement surpris par cette 28 Brett. La brasserie Caulier a réussi de limite la casse en maîtrisant quelque peu l’acidité qui est en fait réellement prégnante qu’en fin de dégustation. Rien à voir avec une grande bière, bien entendu, mais ceux qui apprécient les boissons acidulées pourront s’en rafraîchir. Côté visuel, rien de particulier, un ambré caramel (EBC de 40), paré d’un léger voile et surmonté d’une mousse blanc cassé d’un centimètre et demi. Le nez est bien entendu sur l’acidité, mais laisse s’échapper tout de même des notes d’agrumes et de mirabelle. A l’attaque, l’acidité est présente mais sans être étouffante. Elle donne plutôt une petite pointe acidulée permettant de relever l’ensemble sur une bonne alliance malt/houblon et des arômes à la fois "terroir" et "fermier" mais également de mirabelle. La deuxième bouche est moins riche aromatiquement, toujours avec cette petite note acidulée sur des arômes essentiellement de biscuit. L’arrière bouche quant à elle, sur le malt laisse s’échapper des notes épicées plutôt agréables. Sur la deuxième partie de la dégustation, les choses se compliquent cependant. L’acidité gagne de l’ampleur et commence à écraser les arômes. On arrive tout de même à déceler le travail du dry hopping avec sur le final des notes herbacées en complément d’arômes d’agrumes. L’amertume est quant à elle modérée (IBU de 30) et bien entendu en partie effacée derrière l’acidité. Dommage que ce final soit autant déséquilibré, car l’alcool à 7,5 % joue bien son rôle et le sucre est bien dosé (à noter que la gamme 28 de chez Caulier est sans sucre ajouté). Brett ou ne pas Brett....mon choix est tout fait!
ASPETTO: marrone tendente all’ambrato scuro, decisamente torbido. Schiuma color beige. AROMA: un po’ acido, agrumato, agrodolce, floreale, speziato. GUSTO: leggero agrodolce, maltato e fruttato, leggero caramello. Finisce abbastanza secca e persistente.
Barwa bursztynowa z bardzo delikatn? mgie?k?. Piana jest w formie ogromnej, trwa?ej czapy. Ma kolor nieco ?ó?tawy.
Aromat delikatnie kwa?ny z nutami "wiejskimi", dalej owocowo?? w formie octu jab?kowego z agrestem i dodatkiem kolendry.
W smaku kwa?no?? jest bardzo umiarkowana, powiedzia?bym, ?e nawet bardzo niska. Nuty owocowe s? wiod?ce i w?a?ciwie jedyne. Na finiszu delikatna zio?owa goryczka
Niestety, ale po lekkim ogrzaniu w smaku pojawiaj? si? nuty alkoholowe..
Wysycenie ?rednie, idealnie sprawdza si?.
Degustation at the source. Cloudy yellow color. Aroma of funky lemon. Taste is peppery dusty tannic citrus. Tasty.

Flavour is medium sweet, light malty, light sour, vinegar, Brett, red apples, oak, light funky, light fruity, light cheesy, bittersweet woody finish. Light to medium bodied. Nice.
