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.

Oct 11, 2008 Decent brew, but with such a strange palate that I will probably not venture to try it again. Unique indeed, but very experimental this beer seems to be.

Oct 11, 2008 [Bottle] Pours hazy gold with a small off white head. Aroma is tart and sweet with apple and pears. Flavor is brett, malt, fig, and shrimp. Quite funky.

Oct 11, 2008 Tap at Hollingshead. Medium amber color with tight but short lived head. Estery yeast and slight sour acid in the nose. As mentioned before, definite brett and floral qualities in the flavor, combined with a spicy/sour/musky finish. Good stuff, but would only do one per sitting.

Excellent sour woody horseblanket aroma with still some base malt. Pale peach appearance under no foam--sort of like my pee when I’m dehydrated. Thin and weak flavour with some woody herbal spice. Very unimpressive and uncomplex. Some apple notes. Light body and clean with elevated carbonation.
