Pour from a bottle and in the glass the beer gave a golden orange color with modest white head. Aromas were a bit horsey, funky, and fruity.Initial flavors were of tart, sour lemon, orange, grapefruit along side the sweetness of the Muscat grapes. The grapes add a nice layer of complexity in addition to the sour flavor profile. Finish is very balanced and long standing. Loved this beer very much. Thanks Robert for sharing.

Smaller traded bottle. Yep, I could taste the Muscat grapes and I think I noticed some wood or vanilla from the barrels. The sourness reminded me of something like mixing concentrates of grapefruit, orange and pineapple juices. Nice sourness, not necessarily tart or overpowering. Really nice and well made.

Small white head on top of a clear golden beer. Aroma of white wine, geuze-like sourness, wet wood and a hint of ginger. Quite a sharp sour edge on the taste; citrus, hint of vinegar-sharpness, white wine. Slightly fizzy champagne-like mouthfeel.

batch 1 thanks for Joe! served from a 750ml bottle. pours a cloudy golden color with a rough looking head that dissipates quickly. smell is tart white grapes, peaches and much clean funk. a light maltiness. taste is bright with tart grapes, apricot peaches and clean funk. mouthfeel is super smooth but could use some carbonation. Such a great experience with this bottle. it was a pleasure.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 jethrodium (281) - Berkeley, California, USA - JUL 30, 2011
Batch 4. 375 ml bottle shared by colonelforbin. Thanks Mike. Pours a hazy amber with no head and no lacing. The aroma is a sweet lemon zest, light brett funk, some white wine grapes, and some light hay. The initial taste is sweet with wine grape, then the brett funkiness comes in with some lemon and a bit of oak with the funkiness clear on the finish. Only a light sourness and relatively sweet. Medium body and close to no carbonation. An enjoyable beer, but a bit sweeter than I would have preferred. The mouthfeel would have benefited from more carbonation.
