1999 bottle, sampled at RBSG 08. Pours a golden-amber. Aroma is sweet and sour, very fruity. Crisp, sour-sweet taste, citrus and other fruits. Light lingering sour sweetness. Very tasty and refreshing.

Cloudy appearance. Light-bodied. Apple, lemon, citrus, and floral notes form a wild, acidic sour for a tart, bitter, and sparkling finish.

750 ml bottle. This comes out a fizzy amber and you can pick out the sour aromas as soon as the cork comes off. Head is big and kind of soapy-looking. Closer inspection of the nose reveals a grassy, lemony, funky tartness. Flavor is funky and tart, but has lots of other stuff going on... apples and oak with a very dry finish.

Bottle shared by lithy at the Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Pours a dark yellow with a fizzy, off-white head that leaves light lace. Musty, earthy aroma with some spices. Nice sour that brings out that white grapes, apple, and hay flavor. Medium body. Sour throughout, but not overwhelming. Dry but expected. Very enjoyable.

Suttree’s 2008 Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Sample from a bottle shared by me. Bottled dated 02 Apr 2001. Pours a clear straw yellow with two healthy fingers of large bubbled just off-white head that holds its full body well as long as it isn’t disturbed. Aged oaky tartness in the aroma dusty and powerful acidity. The body is smooth with almost corky barnyard tastes and more fantastic acidity. Not wincingly sour, just potent and balanced acidity. Dry but lasting finish holds on to the back of the tongue nicely.

A lot of flavors combined into a glass full of awesomeness. All the terms used to describe this stuff - metal, horse blanket, barnyard, dust, battery acid - don’t sound appetizing, but they combine to create a winner.

Denne er 99 udgaven. Uklar med et lille hvidt skum. Grapefrugt, stikkelsbær, eddike, dejlig sur og stikker lidt på tungen. Intet kulsyre. Dejlig og lækker.
