Jan 26, 2009 Poured a cloudy golden color with a minimal head. Aroma was huge on the brett yeast funk, but there were some nice herbal notes in the background. Smelled a bit sweet to which paired nicely with the brett yeast. Flavor was sour beer, but not SOUR beer. Really laid back with the bret flavor, but that may have been because there was such a nice interplay between the yeast, the floral aspects and a subtle yet noticeable spice. This was a really well balanced beer. If you want to give someone who is curious about sour beers a nice easy introduction, you wouldn’t go wrong with this one. Tasty.

Jan 26, 2009 Draught at OT.
This is a beer that I realy like and my friends at OT just wanted to pour down the sink. With a funky aroma with lots of jasmine and almond paste it is like nothing else I’ve tried. The taste is litly acidic and rather dry. Several different spices but in small amounts. This I could enoy often.

Jan 25, 2009 Clearish light blond, paler than I’d expected and frankly disappointing in the head maintenant department. Here, the brett manages to show upfront alright, as a spicy, perfumey and sandy character emanates from the glass. Perfumey is what is is as you can easily decipher lavender as well which makes for a very aromatic, rather intense experience, but the depth is not too impressive, nor is the acidity level, which is kept very low. Residual sugars can still be felt in there though, which might hint at improvement possibilities, but the wheaty, crackery malt base is not likely to hold out. Interesting, but that credo is done with incomparable variants and skills at Russian River.

Jan 21, 2009 Bomber split with Muenster. Pours a cloudy light orange. hm. This is a really cheesy aroma, I suspect Brett is the culprit. Cedar, cheese, light barnyard, cork. . .the mouthfeel is pretty spritzy. I like the cheesy funk presented to me, but I could use more malt body. This is vegetal leaning, something like peppers. A distinct lemon twang puckers my palate a little bit. Not bad, but it doesn’t pull off the use of Brett like some of the classic examples.

Jan 21, 2009 (Bottle at Pikkulintu on 2009-01-20) Pale amber and hazy. Small, quite quickly disappearing white head. Very strong aroma containing sourness, syrup and fruitiness. Full bodied and quite dry palate with surprising amount of carbonation. Fruitiness, sourness, bitterness, sweetness, some flavours reminding me of mixed fruit fool. Pepper, sourness and fruitiness in aftertaste.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottled April 2008. Poured pale with a frothy off-white head that left light lace. Tart aroma with musty farm yard, some floral, and figs. The flavor is kind of funky. Again figs, farmyard, pepper, and a slight floral backing. Light to medium body and tart throughout. This ones a little weird to me and I’ll probably pass on trying again.

Jan 17, 2009 Bronze-tangerine color. Crystal clear. Ring of head. Fruity, flowery aroma and possibly the musky scent of figs. Heavy honey flavor, with floral uprisings. Noticeable acidity. Some pepper prick. Flavor can’t match the aroma.
