It's crisp, now it's clear, it's light and so easy to drink. As much as I like a good/proper Hefe, a Märzen is so much more rewarding to brew.

Chris Strnad is drinking a Traveling Salesman (Parliament Magic Mix) by Backyard Bruise at Untappd at Home
A bottle of just the Brett ferment at 16% is still jet fuel after all this time. Certainly explains the character of the blend...

Opened a bottle from just the Sweet ferment; light honey character, vaguely sweet finish, no hint of the 13%. Golden danger water for certain, competition threat perhaps?

The last bottle of my first batch....so it takes 5 years for jet fuel to mellow?

Sludge bottle from the end of the fermenter transfer, developing distinct wine notes.

Better with age, taking on tropical notes here at the end. Lesson learned, supplies for the 2020 batch ordered.

Apparently this is a unique name for a beer. How?

It may never win any awards, but it is *My* beer...

Having cellared for the better part of 6 months, it doesn't taste like JP-1. If I make another batch, I'll test a different process.

Brett is only just starting to assert itself, medicinal undertones. Apt for a 2020 batch... SNA process yielding results.
