Jun 27, 2008 Courtesy Redlight. The top of the bottle pours a crystal clear, medium golden color. The final glass, despite a careful pour, gets quite a bit cloudier as the loose yeast is simply unavoidable. A small, fizzy, off-white head crowns the surface, leaving random spots of lacing behind. Aromas are sufficiently funky, but not exceedingly so, with notes of sourdough yeast and vinous white grapes coming through. The figs are faint, but detectable, with floral and herbal spices lending subtle complexities. Flavors turned a bit more weird, and considerably less funky. There’s a strange, twiggy aspect to it that I can’t fully comprehend. Lightly sour, doughy yeast and floral spicing show atop neutral pale malts. The body is on the lighter side, with substantial carbonation leading into a semi-dry finish. This isn’t nearly as bad as some folks are saying, but it isn’t all that great either. I applaud Avery for at least taking the risk.

Jun 25, 2008 ACBF 2008. I’m sorry, I like some funky beers, but here the funk was just too, well, funky. It wasn’t just sourness, there was an unidentifiable bent to it that I just didn’t enjoy. Sorry for the huge enthusiasts that I know are out there.

Jun 25, 2008 On tap at Capones. Pours a hazy golden with a touch of copper and a medium creamy off white head that laced. Aroma of mixed citrus (lemon), light Belgian spicy esters, bready, tropical fruits, apples and mangos. Flavor was a lot of the same tart notes, candi sugar, apples, tropical fruits, bready, a little earthy, dry and lemon notes.

Jun 25, 2008 Draft: Poured a orange amber color with not much head. The aroma was spices, fruit, banana, and a touch of yeast. The flavor was great, sweet and easy to drink. It had a fruity yeasty taste. I’d love to try this after letting the funk take over a bit more. Overall, a decent brew.

Jun 25, 2008 Tall white soapy head that seems to last quite some time. Had a really odd scent when I first opened it. I hadn’t realized it was a Belgian Very bandaid-y when poured into a glass, which carries through to the flavor. Honestly, this stuff is pretty nasty. I’ve learned to appreciate the unique properties of the wild side in Belgian beers (brett, pedo, etc.), but I’m not liking this one at all. I’m thinking the hibiscus flowers and white pepper are what’s killing this one for me. Just way too many unique flavors thrown into a blender to see what will happen. The yeast is very flocculant as it poured extremely clear. So much that I thought it was filtered. However, when checking the bottom of the bottle there’s lots of sediment.

Jun 24, 2008 Draught at TDR Ex: Sweet aroma. Smells of spices, coriander, flowers, hibiscus, and Brett yeast. Poured golden/yellow/straw/flax in color with a medium-sized white head that diminished. Flavor was medium sweet. Tastes of alcohol, spices, coriander, bubblegum, Brett, and pepper. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, spiced Brett finish. Some alcohol burn.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs and Liquor. There is a delicate nose of light spices and smell of Belgian yeast with true authenticity. Appears as a glowing straw blonde with a thin layer of fine heading. The flavor is heavily spiced with signs of pepper and coriander but also possesses a soapy flavor that rubs me the wrong way. There are some pleasant points in the drink of this beer but I do find some flaws in the initial aftertaste that ruin this from being a great anniversary offering.
