BMan1113VR (1161), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Nov 16, 2008 2006 Bottle from bu11zeye. Pours with a small off-white head that goes. Good Lacing and a hazy golden body. Aroma is a little bit sour with pepper, ginger, coriander, some grapee tannins and bread. Tastee is sour and a bit peppery with corriander. Fruity, sweet and sour twang. Lightly fizzy and dry. Very drinkable, would love to have more. mar (754), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 15, 2008 bottle from bu11zeye. mucky amber pour with a tiny bit of froth. sour notes with oranges and cherries. very smooth on the palate with a great tart flavor and an easy finish. beastiefan2k (1181), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Jul 7, 2008 really glad I got to try this, shared by notalush, thanks Brandon. Its a weird beer and I understand why JoeMcPhee did not like it. I took the rest of his glass and as I kept drinking it the better it got. Cloudy orange color with almost no head. Aroma is sour tangerine, some paint thinner and orage slices. Taste is lightly sour with faint vinegar. Its like orange-vinegar with light acidity. Its not super sour or anything and got more sour as I got some of the end of the bottle. It came out a bit crappy but as it breathed the craziness into a nice fruit sour with acidity.<br />750mL 2006 bottle, Maredsous chalice. JoeMcPhee (3899), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jul 5, 2008 Orange-golden beer. Fairly sour aroma with lots of lemon and a fairly solventy character. Slightly grassy and herbal. Seems to be quite rancid and it doesn’t go down very easily. Meh. notalush (2128), Rawn-kawn-kohma, New York, USA Jul 5, 2008 2006 bottle - cloudy golden beer - semi-tart and acidic aroma, with mild funk, yogurt, some citrus fruit - very acidic up front, and through most of the flavor, actually - the acidity overpowers a lot of the other character - bone dry throughout - some citrus and pear are apparent, as well as a moderate funkiness that comes through mostly in the finish - once the palate adjusts, the acidity is more bearable, and the earthy, funky character is more easy to appreciate - a decent sour ale.
