Young, this beer will be very forward with ripe tropical fruit, and little to no earthy Brett character. This beer really opens up around 8 weeks of age and continues to gain complexity and balance over several months. I am about to rebrew this recipe with some minor tweeks and throw the batch on raspberries for summer pool drinking. Cheers!
