4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20This is one tremendous beer. Pours a slightly hazy yellow. Barnyard funk greets the nose but does not overwhelm. The taste is sprightly with some funk and sour melding together. Some fruit notes tag along for the ride as well. Thanks to Sierra Nevada and Surly Goat for sharing.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Several bottles. Dark brown / reddish colored pour with an off white head. Smells fruity with plenty of straw and hop aroma. Taste is sweet and pretty sour - refreshing, easy drinking - light. The 8.x% really creeps up. Good stuff
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Cork blew on this one. lost on a couple ounces. Pours clear orange with large tight bubbly head that fades quickly. Smell is lightly citrus, some funkiness and fruity. Nose is not as boastful as the taste. Taste shows a apples, pears, white grape, funk and lightly tart that is enhanced by sharp carbonation. This has developed into a lively complex brew. Tingly carbonation and very dry. Finishes lightly sweet and a hint tart. Very nice.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a hazy, dirty blonde with a really big head. Smells like a decent Belgian ale and tastes like one, too. Citrus and bananas and yeasty, bready notes in the aroma and the taste, with just a slightly boozier finish than many Belgians offer. Very fizzy. Nothing shocking or surprising, but certainly tasty.

Bottle. This beer definitely has some cool stuff going on. Solid citrus and funk flavors playing off of each other.
