La Rullés Estivale (Bière De Gaume)
On tap at Monk's served in a tulip. This brew appears a cloudy color of light orange. An effervescent amount of fizzy carbonation streams through the body. A big fluffy billowing head sits across the top with solid retaining powers. A wall of lacing sticks all over the glass. The smell of this brew is dry and bretty with plenty of fresh hops imparting notes of citrus and fruit. There is a light cheese element mixed with funk and a mild amount of sulfur. This is very pleasant smelling with a zesty hop inclusion mixed with Brett-like dryness and earth. The taste is dry and earthy with Brett. There is a mild farmhouse aspect to this brew throughout. Some hay to straw grain quality. Modestly bitter with herbal to grassy hops. There is a light fruited element that evolves as the brew comes up to temperature. This is a light bodied brew with a very bold amount of carbonation. It is very easy drinking and enjoyable. It paired well with my food and if there wasn't other offerings on the draft list that I wanted to try, I would of had no problems drinking several of these.
