Bottle: Cloudy yellow with a thin white head and a light head. The nose musky with a bit of wheat and sweet grass and banana. Noticeable leather and yeast. The flavor is fairly tart with a creamy full bodied wheaty mouthfeel. Semisweet even with the malt and yeast combo. The tart hugs it close though, if the sourness combined with something a little more dry, then it might merit a little cassis syrup. A bit mellow for my liking. If you’re going to do something, do it right, eh?

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle thanks to Eric. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small, almost no head. The aroma is fairly sweet; lots of honey and grains, and some light lemon notes. The flavor was much tarter; loads of lemon, acidic and citrus flavors. Some balance achieved by the sweet honey and malt flavors, lots of grains. Very interesting. Quite acidic but also very drinkable and smooth.

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle from West Lakeview. Pours a very pale straw yellow. Fluffy head that goes away. Nose is distinctly lemon, no barnyard at all (which it shouldn’t have), A little musty yeast and grain. Taste is actually sweet. It has a lactic taste in the front, but finishes thin and watery, which is disappointing. Far from over top, has a touch of skunkiness to the flavor as well. Kinda like a pale lager with lemon juice in it... Okay.

Sep 24, 2008 Pours a straw yellow-gold with a small oily white head. Cleanses the palate- I had no syrup. Smells acidic with a tinge of citrus. An exemplar of the style. I can see this one as a palate cleanser, but not as enjoyable as other ales.

Sep 12, 2008 Very doughy and barnyard tart nose. Lemony yellow color, hazy, small head. Mild tartness, nutty funkiness, not much sweetness or bitterness to speak of. Light carbonation, thin body, easy elegant finish. Very unique beer, almost like "gueze light", quite interesting.

Sep 6, 2008 Bottled sample via radiomgb. Very pale yellow in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of red-skinned apples and malted wheat. A bit fruit forward in the mouth, with more apple and additional lemon and a bit of wheat. Somewhat tart, but not over the top. Fairly refreshing, but a little too fruity for me.
