Peppery with flavors or orange zest and strong brett. Good, but nothing terribly interesting. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Not my style. Quite heavy and boozy, too much sweetness. Just a hint of sourness. Tasty and well made for what it is, though.

Can! Pours a clear copper color with a very light tan head. Funky aroma; sour and some barnyard. At this point is have a more sour note than funky though. Medium mouthfeel. Pear, apple, some sweetness, pineapple, all mixed in with some funk. Not overly sour though. ABV really doesn’t show. Pretty tasty.

This is a special seasonal beer they are trying out. I wasn’t a big fan of it. It actually tastes sour like it was skunked or old.

JStax (1724) - Devola/Marietta, Ohio, USA - APR 14, 2013
Poured a translucent copper with a ring of white foam. Aroma has a cidery, cotton candy essence. A little sour with a drying finish.

Nice balance between belgian spices and sour. Very drinkable. Some sour apples and berries. Not my style but enjoyed.

marcus (5104) - Sacramento, California, USA - APR 2, 2013
Pours reddish copper with a modest beige head and a sour fruit aroma. There is a medium-bodied light malt flavor with brett-fueled sourness that is substantial but not overwhelming. A dry fruity finish.
