Character:
This beer has a strong ripe pineapple and candied watermelon flavour with a tropical citrus backbone. It is light and almost golden in colour, with a mild haze and a very crisp dry finish.
Naming:
Brettanomyces is a wild yeast variety that often shows itself in slow or secondary fermentation, bringing what is often described as a "wet horse blanket" character, which while funky, is a lot nicer than it sounds!
When used as a primary yeast, however, this blanket-like character is not there, and instead releases notes of pineapple and citrus. This means that a "Brett beer" is very different depending on whether the yeast is the primary one or secondary one. Should you be expecting funky and musty character after picking up this beer, you may well ask, "hey - where's my blanket!?"
