RATING #200!!!

2004 bottling, lot 22. First example of the style, I’m excited. Pours a gorgeous combo of plum and orange, with a small white head that fades to a sudsy white ring on top of the beer. The aroma is alive - yeast, funk, spice, honey, lemon, oranges and barnyard notes. Smells divine. Wow, this is amazing. Lemon, hay, orange, honey, clove, yeast and a wonderful flavor from the oak aging. Finish is lemony tart, not mouth puckering, supremely long in length and fades to a nice honey sweetness. Feels a bit flat on the tongue, medium bodied with a nice tartness coming through on the palate. One of the best beers I have had so far.

Sampled during the First Annual Stone Sour Fest. Sour acidic aromas. Golden orange and hazy with a smallish head. Flavors were acidic as well, with a rather nice lingering bitterness. A nice Gueuze.

Smells like a shoe, sour funk.. like an old lady fart passing through an onion. Golden unfiltered. Great lacing. Great llambic, Very tart almost sour. Golden unfiltered color. most tart beer i have ever had. Enjoyable, had this beer at the 30th annual great british beer festival. this one was a nice change of pace, but could drink more then one of these in a sitting. I just prefer fruit flavored lambics more.

Aroma is very similar to 1809. Very citrus and slightly hay-like. Taste is very acidic and dry with a very, very slight bitterness at the end. Very refreshing beer.
