| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 17, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a murky yellowish gold with a finger of soapy white head. Aroma has a lot of barnyardy notes, lots of lemon rind and other citrus, a touch of cheesy hops, and other funk. Flavor is nice and tart, lots of funkiness and citrus fruits. As I get through the bottle, it gets increasingly more acidic and tart and mouth watering. Very very tasty, incredibly unique beer.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2009 Cork pops explosively on the 375mL bottle and pours a hazy yellowish orange with a massive white head that sticks to the sides and stays on as a cap.
The aroma is seriously funky in addition to the tart vinegar aroma with some definite lemony tartness as well. There are hints of light fruit sweetness, especially peaches and apples, in the nose, but it’s definitely second fiddle behind the sourness and funk.
The taste is extremely acidic up front which really puckers the lips. After a couple of sips and as it warms, there is more complexity that comes out with the sweetness of the peaches and apples. The finish is a combination of lemony tartness, vinegar burn and straight-up barnyard funk.
The mouthfeel is light to medium and highly carbonated. It’s extremely and dry and very wine-like in the finish.
As with most of the Belgian sours I’ve had, I’m still working to get my taste buds prepped for the acidic onslaught that inevitably ensues when I try them. That said, I enjoyed this beer and it is very good for the style.
