I thought I would try another one of these to see if they are any better. Unfortunately, not. This one smells like a horse farm and tastes like hoppy piss water. Not as vile as the other one, but still bad.

375ml bottle @ biergasthof schiffner. Smelt of gooseberry and chardonnay with definite notes of gone-off horse feed (sour barley, oats). clear orange in colour with a instantly vanishing head. Flavours of leather, bananas and a heavy load of lactic acid. Its round balanced and actually not that sour.

Clean sour aroma. Straw to copper, crystal clear. Smooth, oaky, sour flavor. Round and balanced.

Feb 04 bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with nice lacy white head. This was really tasty. Very acidic with citrus, lemon, apple, hints of berry, pepper, barnyard funkiness, and peach. Also some oak and leather. Very dry and very sour, this is not an easy to drink beer, but it is very complex.

0.375 l bottle, bottled 2006. Hazy peachy color with small head. Very acidic aroma with grapefruit, lemon, strawberry, sulphur and perfumed-flowery notes. Acidic, grapefruity, lemony and mentholy flavor with wild yeast bitterness. Highly carbonated. Excellent, balanced and very satisfying! We tasted this and 3 Fontainen vintage oude gueuze 2004 in a same session but I prefer this.

Very sweet vinegar smell - not too tart, but mostly vinegar in the nose. Cloudy yellow orange in appearance. Quite tart in the flavor but not much more to it. It is sour but just not as balanced as I wanted. Vinegar becomes more and more prevalent as it warms.

Finally tried this one out of a 12.7 ounce bottle. Aroma had some solid funkiness, citrus, and some yeast to it. Flavor was not all that sour which was nice when you are drinking a whole bottle yourself. Pretty tastey overall.

Pours into my Lindemans flute with a hazy golden color with thick frothy white head. Aroma is of sour apple, horse blanket, yeast, and light peach. Taste yeast, sour apple, light citrus, and note of peach. Moderate carbonation and sharp dry finish. Good stuff!
