Overall Impression:
I love Brett, beers from Allagash, beers from De Proeff, and this one was no exception. Issac Newton's mistakenly had this listed as a Tripel, so I was thrown off at first because this was obviously a Belgian Strong Pale Ale. The Brett and graham cracker created an interesting flavor combination that I really enjoyed. The Brett was not overwhelming, so if you are new to Wild/Brett beers, this would be a great one to try....if you can find it.
