750 ml bottle via trade with michael-pollack- thanks again, Pollack! Another beer opened in the box and destroyed the bag this came in, so without a label underneath I had to make my own. Looked like homebrew in a dark green bottle. Best by 4/2013. Pours a cloudy golden-orange color with a small white head. Aroma of tart fruits, white grapes, lemon, oak chips, funk, and yogurt. Flavor of oak, lemon, dry grains, herbs, cedar, and a little bit of alcohol shows up. Medium-bodied, with a tart, herbal, funky mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Incredible smell on this one. Great Belgian sour, and such an interesting blend.

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2011 Bottle @ Gloria, Kuopio. Originally rated on 11.7.2009. Extremely sour, but still enjoyable and quite well balanced.7-4-7-4-14 = 3.5
Re-rated on 21.12.2011 - Slightly more balanced than the previous bottle I had. Pours orange with a white head. Aroma has notes of berries, spices and yeast. Taste is slightly sour with notes of berries and fruits. Finish is dry and fruity.

Really great sour. Aroma is belgian yeast; doughy, earthy, sour. Taste is lambic tartness that fades to a really clean sour finish that isnt vinegorous or harsh. Loved it.

Bouteille de 750ml. Bière de belle couleur blé, la mousse est blanche. Le nez est de levure sauvage, classique, horse blanket, écurie. La bouche est aigre, surette, pas très complexe mais très agréable. Plus du coté du lambic que de la sour beer. Franchement cette bière est bien agréable. 8/10

Appearance: Pours a honey mustard yellow with a frothy eggshell colored film atop.
Aroma: Attic, books, dusty wood, lactic acid.
Taste: Tartness, tannins, wood. Finishes sour.
Mouthfeel: Slightly astringent, modest bubbles.
Overall: A classic. I would enjoy this even more paired with fruit or cheese.

(75 cl) Une petite tête blanchâtre repose sur un liquide doré et passablement embrouillé. Au nez, la brise encore fraîche de ce début d’été remue la terre humide de la basse-cour et permet aux parfums fruités (pomme verte, pamplemousse, citron) de calmer cette fine poussière qui monte aux yeux. Très intéressant. Les saveurs recèlent de notes surettes et aigres bien plaisantes : on goûte des fruits surets (raisins, citron) avec de bonnes notes boisées asséchantes et de belles notes rustiques. En bouche, le liquide est moyennement structuré avec une très faible effervescence et une texture à la limite huileuse. La finale est surette, une attaque contrôlée de la levure, assez longue et agréablement enrobée par les fruits. Très bon.
