italarican (157), Astoria, New York, USA Jun 30, 2009 Bottled on 1/17/06. Pours a hazy burnt orange with a prominent airy white head that steadily vanishes. It’s beautiful; it glows! Aroma of green apples, champagne grapes, and a bit of lemon. Lots of tart and sour citrus flavors with a hint of hops. It’s sort of hard to decipher any specific fruit. A dry and sour finish w/ some champagne grape flavor mixed in for the finale. The sourness lingers on the palate. This is a great spring, summer, or autumn beer. Jblauvs (531), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jun 29, 2009 Apricot pour with nice sticky white head. Nice fruity funk aroma. tart notes. peppery lemon spice. a bit of sweetness and a lot of tartness, especially at the finish. still retains some fruity characteristics though. not especially complex but has a great tart character and a nice smooth palate
oteyj (716), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Jun 29, 2009 Hazy apricot pour with small white head that dissipates slowly, leaving nice lacing behind it. Aroma is tart; lemon and some grapefruit notes combine with fermented apple and funk. Flavor is quite tart and sour, having notes of cider, and fermented berries. Palate is smooth and caressing with pillow like carbonation leaving a very dry finish. craftycarl21 (513), South Hero, Vermont, USA Jun 29, 2009 Pours a hazy peach with a white head. Aroma holds fruity nectars, but in a definitely funky way. Flavor is also full of funk and fruit, with a long lasting and full flavor. Palate is impressive; massages the tongue with the tart fruity notes, but doesn’t overpower it as some lesser lambics do. Very nice brew. sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 29, 2009 Bottle at The Rover, Göteborg, shared with Gnoff and friends.
pours hazy golden, white head.
Aroma and taste, plenty of tartness with hints of fruits, lingering sweetness quickly overwhelmed by a sea of tartness.
punkrkr27 (608), Berkley, Michigan, USA Jun 26, 2009 Slightly hazy, golden pour with a big, frothy, white head. The aroma is oaky white grapes with notes of black pepper, bright citrus, honey, grass and brett. Sour white grape flavor with hints of lemon, pepper, wheat, and oak. Medium body with lots of effervescent carbonation and a dry tart finish. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Jun 25, 2009 This 2004 vintage pours copper with micro thin white head. The aroma is apples, other varied fruity sweetness and a tart Brett like quality. The taste is thin on the mouth with brief fruitiness, too brief to really discern what sort of fruitiness it was, before a solid load of tartness takes this to the finish. Not much else going on. gunnar (486), Sandnes, Norway Jun 24, 2009 Bottle375 ml.Pours murky yellow/orange with a good 3 " frothy white head. Citrus and vinegar aroma. Flavour is first off all a fizzy sour cacophony, green apples and citrus. Not the last for me!
