Tootjainfo: "After long years of the beer community discussing hops to exhaustion, yeast is finally getting a glimpse of the spotlight following what seemed to be a lengthy Batman-like existence: outcast, living in the shadows, not getting enough credit for his work. However, the importance of fermentation is no news to Chad from Crooked Stave, a.k.a. the king of Hipsters, who has been fondling with various fermenting agents for longer than most people have been drinking. So it was that on a beautiful – yet excruciatingly hungover – Wednesday Mr Yakobsen came to Amager to bombard us simpletons with his knowledge on all things yeasty, and especially, bretty. Due to stubbornness from our end, we still insisted the brew carried a motherf#&@ of hops, despite intents of a brett forward beer. The answer to what ingredient won the battle lies within this bottle. But in our opinion, we are all winners.
Øltype: Farmhouse Pale Ale
Ingredienser: Vand. Bygmalt: Pilsner, Carapils. Havremalt: Flaked oats. Humle: Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, Amarillo. Gær: Brett CMY"

Keskmist kasvu pudel, sildil kummaline kuningas :) Sõrmepaksune erkvalge vaht on hõre ja püsimatu. Õlle värvus - kirkalt helekollane. Aroom on farmhouse klassika - kergelt sõnnikune ja mullane, rõske ja hapukas. 

Esmamekk on keskmisest kergema kehaga ja jõuliselt mõrkjas-hapukas. Keskmaitse on puidune, rõske ja kõdunenud lehtede noodiga. Lõppmaitse toob esile üleküpsenud virsikuid ja ananassi, vaarikamahla ja korvitäie pihlakaid. Järelmekk pargib puiduselt keelt, meenutades arooniaid ja pohlamarju, vähene ja tuhm vürtsikas sädelus kasvab ajapikku korralikuks õhetuseks kogu suuõõnes.

Keskmisest kergema kehaga, nõrgapoolselt karboniseerunud paletiga, mõrkjas-hapukas-mõrkjas-hapukas-vürtsika buketiga omamoodi jõuline übertasandi rüübe. Farmhouse ale'ide klassika oma raskepärase mullase ja kõduse olekuga. Siia juurde tahaks värskehapukurki.
