4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Milky, golden pour. Mineral and vinegar soaked wood aroma, lemon pith and bittersweetness; flickering acidity and brazen citrus sharpness; all fairly far from unusual, and just right.
Flavor is wooden and sweet, with the usual ripping sourness beneath; the animal qualities are a bit buried as well, but the acetic flavors are quite forward; mostly champagne vinegar and a bit of balsamic. Theres a spirit texture of sweetness in the wooden flavor that seems to calm everything somewhat, but its not obviously cognac; its general, and lets out some malt flavors; dried apples and some brownish spiciness.
Definitely a richer, warmer example than many others, and somehow cleaner as well, though not short on the desired flavors; smooth textured and bright overall. Highly likable!

Unclear golden of color with a white head. An aroma of horseback, dry and sour. A dry and sour flavor with notes of horseback.

hazy nectarin pour with minimal white head. Beautiful tartness on the nose, white grapes, wood. Nice tartness up front, wonderful tanic woodiness, the cognaic is dying down a little bit. Leaves a great woody tanic taste on the finish.

This beer is yellow and looks like it smells: horse piss. Someone must have collected a lot of horse piss at a polo match then bottled with up. There’s also some kind of weird BO smell that reminds me of the time I went to a Flea Market and found someone who had a whole case of Ballantine Burton but the person had this weird stench that I could taste even when I breathed out of my mouth but it was worth it because I bought a case of Ballantine Burton for $12.00. That experience was a lot better then this which was just a weird beer that smelled and tasted like a horse pissed in a bottle then someone farted out some broccoli stink in your vicinity when you tried it.

Bottle from WTF OMG tasting. Pours a cloudy golden yellow color topped by a small white head that settles to a thin film of bubbles. The aroma shows a nice blend of sour lemons, tart green apples, and tart peaches. The signature funk is there to go with some dry yeast. The flavors are very tart with apples, peaches, grapes, and lemons all coming together with the oak and a touch of lactose to sweeten things up. Medium bodied with ample carbonation and a very dry finish from the yeast. Really nice and tart lambic with great fruit flavors.
