Bottle: Big apple and lemon sourness aroma with some faint oak and a touch of fruit. It pours a cloudy golden-orange with a small white ring for a head. The flavor starts with sour lemons and apple. There is some sweet apple and vanilla in the background and the finish is moderately oaky. Light bodied with mild carbonation. egajdzis (3013), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 27, 2008 Poured a hazy, dark golden color with a small ring of white bubbles around the edges, and light lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, citrus fruits, light cognac, leather, oak, and green apple. Taste of green apples, red grapes, vanilla oak, cognac, brett, and a sour, wild yeast finish. MatSciGuy (236), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 27, 2008 [Bottle] shared by BDR. 200th rating! Pours a hazy straw gold with a moderate off white head. Aroma is fairly alcoholic, some traditional cantillon funkiness, slight sweetness, sour apples, some grape, and earthiness. Flavor is not terribly sour. Some alcohol, grapiness, woodiness, slightly herbal and earthy, I’m not terribly familiar with cognac, so I can’t comment on that aspect, but overall a fairly good beer. hopdog (4645), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 27, 2008 750ml bottle shared courtesy of egadjzis. Poured a deeper and hazy golden color with a smalle sized head. Aromas of wood, some funkiness, floral, grapes, and some cognac in the background. Tastes of vanilla, wood, funky, floral, citrus, the same trace of cognac, and grapes. Nice sour and tart finish. TomDecapolis (2472), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 27, 2008 Thanks to egadjzis for sharing this one. Pours a hazy orange/golden with a smaller bubbly/creamy off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of floral, perfume, mixed citrus, tons of flowers, sour cherries, funky/sour nose, grapes, kind of woody. Wonderful nose. Flavor of sour cherries, funky/sour, oak, light vanilla, wonderfully floral, mixed citrus, moderate bitterness, right amount of tartness.
