Steve_0 (3744) - Denver, Colorado, USA - SEP 20, 2014Pour from bottle at Zwanze Day 2014. 2011 Vintage. Pour is hazy orange with a small white head that quickly dissipated. Funky, earthy, somewhat grassy, some stone fruits, biscuit, and urine in the aroma. Taste is deep and earthy peach skin, some salt, light lemons, urine, some cheese and wax with a lighty sour finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Has definitely lost a little but still get a lot of stone fruit and highly drinkable.

Godofthecellar (677) - NYC, New York, USA - APR 4, 20132011. Funky, barnyard yeast with strong notes of cheese and citrus in the nose. Taste open up funky, quickly turning sour as if blended with a 3F geuze. Grapes, spice, and further yeast complexity round it out. I'm fortunate enough to have tried this a few times, and it earns best-of-style accolades from me each time. Need more!

Glouglouburp (6103) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 12, 2012In short: A part-rustic and part-Sour blond ale with plenty of white grapes. Good original creation.
How: Bottle 750ml, 2011 vintage, so probably around 1 year of age. Bottle from yopdoog, thanks a lot Trevor.
The look: Cloudy dark blond body topped by a small white head.
In long: Nose has plenty of fresh white grapes with a rustic yeast character bringing a dusty attic sensation. Taste is also loaded with fresh white grapes, crackery neutral malts, little salty notes, rustic yeast character. Medium tartness, mild-medium sourness, medium acidity. Overall very fruity (the grapes cannot be misted), rustic and with a semi-sour character that surely comes from the barrel aging. Starts very juicy fruity and ends very dry and with acidity and sourness. This beer is as much a Fruit Beer as it is a Saison as it is a Sour/Wild Ale. Quite nice. That’s a rare beer I’ve been wanting to try for a long time, I knew it would come my way eventually because I believe in Destiny, when Destiny says "if you touch me again I’ll get you thrown out of the club" I keep my hands off her.
