Mar 22, 2008 Pours a clear bright copper bronze with a well-lacing frothy white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty pale malts and some funky cheesy brett. Body starts lightly sweet and fully carbonated with a mild sweetness and some earthy bittering hoppiness before a drier semi-sweet pale malty finish. Finishes, airy, watery and drier. Definitely has some strange funk to it, but it’s still fairly-well balanced and complex.

Jul 24, 2007 on tap @HopfestNC-pours a thin white head that laces and yellow/gold color. Aroma is mild citrus hops. Taste is English mild citrus hops-pine, secondary sweet malt. OK carbonation.

Apr 23, 2007 Copper, nice beige head. Creamy, caramelly aroma. Caramel and malt dominates at first, then a slight vegetal flavor. Finishes resiny and sticky. Sampled at 2007 Hickory Hops.

Mar 24, 2008 If you were rating this to style it would be easy to blast it. But I will just rate it based on my overall impression...A dark orange appearance with a moderate head. The aroma is sourheads, lemons, and grapefruit. This is quite sour, very liittle bitterness, in this one. I taste some funky notes with lemons and grapefruit. This reminds me of a sour ale. It caught me off guard but oh well I like it regardless.
