I saw this at Pj's and had to have a try since it is mentioned in Wild Brews.It pours a crystal clear golden color with a fluffy, abundant, creamy head that lasts. I can see a ton of streaming bubbles in the glass.
The nose reminds me of many Belgian strong ales, though with less hopping. Slightly musty, funky, yet also clean (kind of reminds me of Duvel in a way). Maybe a bit of tart apple.
The taste is surprisingly fruity, with an earthy side. Nice malt character, abundant tingling carbonation, with a finish that is all Brettanomyces- imagine the taste of riding a horse with a leather saddle through a field of dried hay ready to harvest. A little citrus tartness hangs around.
Nice lacing in the glass, with the abv being hidden quite well in taste.
My rating: Worth a try.
Abv: 9%.
Website: Importer. DeProef does not seem to have a website at this time.
Price paid: 9.86 at Pj's Wine and Spirits.
Number of cans of Bud Light you could buy for the same price: 15.
