jamespgentry (18), Washington, USA Nov 5, 2009 There aren’t enough words to describe this beer, and beers of it’s ilk. The aging and blending process this beer goes through fosters a complexity I rarely encounter in a beverage. Aroma is of sour fruit (berries mostly), wine, and bubblegum. Smoother palate than I would expect from a sour beer. As stated, the flavor is complex. "There’s a lot going on", is what we kept saying while drinking it, followed by what seemed like descriptions a stoner would give while describing the colors on his black light posters. Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 24, 2009 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has of fruits and cherries with an acidic edge. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of fruits and cherries, leading to a dry acidic finish. Thanks omhper for sharing. probstk (1007), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Oct 22, 2009 750 bottle from Bieropholie, shared with Phil, served cold in a Pils flute.

Interesting and complex. henrikb (1298), Aarhus, Denmark Oct 8, 2009 Beautiful deep amber body, some sparkle and a very little head; Beautiful orange peel, flower and a little to oaky nose; Sharp biting somehow aggressive acid body; intense acid finish, lots of oak tannins actually to much. Very very interesting super complex beer, very drinkable, a little to oaky, the tannins are to hard, but except from that an excellent beer. tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Oct 3, 2009 750 mL bottle, while muenster is playing the solo from a DragonForce song two feet from my head. Pours a lovely orange with beige head. The aroma is a smooth, mellow sour with lots of oak and berry character and a little bit of yeasty spice. The flavor is oak, berries, lactic acid, and a cool cinnamon like spiciness. There is a slight acetic character, kind of like red wine vinegar, but just enough to give it character. This is some fine stuff. muenster (339), Sevierville, Tennessee, USA Oct 3, 2009 Super thanks to tronraner for this beer! Pours hazy amber with a small head. Aroma is very fruity, with vinegar undertones, and very well rounded. Flavor starts out with a nice sour acidity, giving way to an amazing array of spices. Finishes with almost a touch of cinnamon spice. Very drinkable, and the 11% abv is absolutely undetectable. MrChopin (621), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 25, 2009 Opaque reddish-tan, thin yellowish head that goes quickly. Nose is fruit-heaven blending strawberry, mango, and grapefruit acidity, in addition to light wood and hints of earth/mushroom. As close to Bullfrog noses as I’ve had. Flavor is unfortunately a letdown: a clash of tart cherry, grapefruit juice, cinnamon, and alcohol. Doesn’t work, unfortunately. Slightly thin with a short finish. The BFMs I’ve had are always odd combinations, and it falls short here, though not for lack of effort. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Sep 14, 2009 Bottle 75cl. @ home. [ Trade by oh6gdx ]. Clear medium orange amber color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to light beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, berry, dry, sour berry, wood, oak, alcohol, medicine notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and acidic, moderate bitter with a long duration, and a dry acidic finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic.
