Appearance: Rosy, cloudy rust with a thin cap of eggshell
foam. Beautiful lacing decorates the
edges of my glass (4/5).
Aroma: I’m immediately slapped in the face with
Brett. Earthy, floral, citrus, and
tropical fruit envelop my head. I also
get a very pleasant, fresh cut apple smell that I absolutely love (4.75/5).
Taste: Sweet, fresh apple cider enjoyed at the farm
on a cool, autumn day. Whispers of
citrus, flowers, and freshly cut grass enhance the experience. Absolutely amazing (5/5).
Mouthfeel: Medium body, medium carbonation (4.5/5).
Overall: This is
probably the optimized balance between a classically constructed Belgian Pale
Ale and Brettanomyces. I honestly could
not be happier with the result. This is
the work of a brewery that understands the style, and understands how they are
enhancing it. The Brett is not over the
top, but is prevalent enough to make an impact.
Well done, Commons (4.75/5).
