Soapy and perfumy aroma, reminicent of a mens urinoir. Only then can you spot the hops. Sour and mouth-puckering palate. A bit one-dimensional. 3/4/6/4/11 - 2.8.
Bottle, 2003 vintage
Funky aroma of horseblanket and sulphuric acid. Very acidic taste with a hint of urin. Quite bitter aftertaste. Nice. 8/4/6/5/14 - 3.7.

Aug 12, 2008 Pours a hazy orange color with darker brown swirling through. Lots of effervesence beneath an off-white head that had nice persistence. The aroma was tart, mild funk with the hops definitely coming through. The flavor was tart, mild funk, cedar, earth, floral hops, piney hops. Clean, dry mouthfeel and a razor sharp finish. Quite enjoyable.

Aug 10, 2008 2005 bottle. Aroma is of extremely dirty socks and funky molded moss and rotten wood. Taste has more sour than the rotten funky aroma but still not pleasant. Not what I was expecting and if this is not how it should taste I would like to try it again. Let me know.

Aug 10, 2008 My first and most likely last unblended lambic. Pours an orange caramel like color with a relatively large fluffy tope colored head. Nose is funk, grass, honey and citrus. Taste is about the same with a nice wild honey component. I don’t really care for lambics but this was decent. Somewhat dry finish as well.

Aug 8, 2008 Updated: Jan 7, 2009Vintage 2005. Hazy orange pour with a quickly dissipating head. Nice tart aroma. Loads of citric sourness combined with a hint of grassy hops, and banana

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 7, 2008Bottle, 2005 vintage. Pours orange with just a bit of haziness, fizzy off-white head that disappears post haste. Aroma is a bit of sharp sourness, fruity - i got strawberries, just a bit musty. Taste is sour, sharp but not overwhelming, softened by the musty, earthy quality that comes in after the initial carbonation burst passes. Finish is a bit of citric, lemony sourness and a bit of a grassy, floral note that emerges from the sourness. Crisply carbonated, light body.

Jul 30, 2008 750 mL bottle at the Thirsty Monk in Asheville, served in brand-appropriate glassware. It pours a hazy orange with big khaki head. The aroma has plenty of sour funk, faint cheese, overripe fruit, and some odd spices (something like cardamom, maybe). The flavor is very musty with a strong sweaty cheese element and a smooth tannic undertone. The sourness is subdued but present. It finishes with a very mild floral bitter tinge, and leaves a slightly cedar-like note in the distant aftertaste. This is a seriously good brew.
