Funky Brett

◎ Appearance

Pale golden colour with bright clarity and moderate carbonation. The head forms quickly and retains with fine, delicate lacing that clings to the glass walls as the beer descends. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-conditioned Belgian IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced white stone fruit—apricot and peach—alongside bright citrus notes that suggest grapefruit and orange zest. Beneath these fruit-forward aromatics, subtle funky undertones from Brettanomyces emerge, mingling with soft herbal and floral hints that grow more prominent as the beer warms or ages.

◐ Taste

Entry is fruity and hoppy with tropical notes—passion fruit and stone fruit—leading the palate. Mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness that frames the fruit without dominating, while funky, earthy Brett notes weave through. The beer remains dry and crisp throughout, with the interplay between hop bitterness and yeast-driven funk defining the flavour arc.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the bitterness gradually receding into a lingering fruity and slightly funky aftertaste. The beer's character evolves with age—early iterations favour citrus and hop presence, while extended cellaring shifts the balance toward deeper Brett complexity and floral notes.
