Fred82 (346), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Sep 7, 2009 375ml bottle from IPB. Pours light hazy amber with a big slightly creamy head that is short lived. Nose is very funky and sour. There is also some fruits in there. Green apples maybe. Taste is mildy sour, quite funky with a little hoppy bite. Some green apples too. Not so much bitter. Quite dry on finish. Nice complexity, original stuff. Great aroma. Nice fruity, apple, faint hop background in the taste profile. Acidity is mild. slight barnyard hint. zach8270 (2053), Henrietta, New York, USA Sep 7, 2009 (bottle - corked & capped 750 ml) Golden/amber pour with a thick off-white head. Aroma is light with strong funky and earthy notes along with some sour and tartness near the end. Flavor is incredibly sour and tart at the beginning with a very light and mild sweetness near the end. Very funky and sour. petematte46 (213), Dallas, Texas, USA Sep 5, 2009 2006 bottle. Pours an orangish amber... Aroma is subtle, not a kick in the face with the sour/tart notes that are about it hit you, with a certain slightly fruity hint... Flavor is tart/sour/apple/orange and funk. shawnm213 (884), South Bend, Indiana, USA Sep 4, 2009 Updated: Sep 20, 2009bottle. pours applejuice with small fizzy head. aroma of leather, plastic, car freshener. flavor is lemon rind and grapefruit loins.

weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England Sep 4, 2009 Bottle from Dranken Geers. Slightly ruined by the cork breaking in the bottle and me losing my fkin temper big time. It was not the time to piss me off. Any hoo, on to the beer. Murky orange with a medium off white head. This smells like Sarah and Tanya Murphy who I went to school with. Flavour is sour, earthy notes, long bitter finish. Wasn’t overly impressed at first but that’s probably just due to my anger problem as it did grow on me. BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 27, 2009 Sampled @ Papago. Peach colored pour produces a small ivory head that left only a spot or two of lacing. Aroma is funky; with sour lemons, fresh cut grass, Granny Smith apples, and orange pith. Flavor is citrus, vinegar, tart apples, and earthiness. Medium mouthfeel, but the flavor stays on the palate. Good, not great. rustychiles (1007), Mesa, Arizona, USA Aug 21, 2009 On tap at Papago. Pours a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is sour funk lemons sawdust. Flavor is acidic sourness, lemons, hay, wheat, sawdust, asprin, with a nice tart finish. nice sour lambic. MrChopin (622), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 21, 2009 ’07 bottle pours hazy tangerine, moderate fizzy white head. Grassy, lemon-lime nose, also some must and dank/wet wood. Wet, bitter, woody flavor with an odd combo of sweet and sour from contributions by grape, lemon, and grass. Bitter, prickly carbonation, but the body is watery and the finish rather short. Interesting, but not as cohesive or complex as I’ve had from Cantillon, and the harsh bitterness is tough to stomach without the balance.
