hazy golden colour with a white head. Light smokey note in a malty, fruity tart aroma. Smokey, fruity and tart flavor.

Bottle brought by someone over at dbuckingham’s place. A bit of a gusher. Pours clear golden with a huge white head billowing up the glass. Big brett and champagne on the aroma with slight smoky rubbery notes. Infection? On the flavor, yeah, there’s an infection. Smoky burnt rubber, brett, cattiness, champagne, and some pale malt. Not terrible despite the infection, but really not good. Medium-bodied with very lively carbonation that the infection no doubt aided. Overall, could be worse, but was pretty off. Watch out for this one.

A-pours a golden color, bright, slight haze to it with some sediment floating around. the head is fluffy and bubbly with an off white head.
S-hints of sourness with a touch of funky earthiness. notes of bubblegum, vinegar, chocolate undertones.
T-lots of sourness in the taste, an earthy soil like funk, dry chocolate, tobacco, smoked peat, hints of peach and bubblegum in the back.
M-rough and grainy on the palate, messy carbonation, astringent in the back, medium body.
D-a little rough on the palate with the huge carbonation and extremely grainy feel. the flavors are interesting, not bad but they don’t seem to mesh that well together.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 nick76 (3587) - Tampa, Florida, USA - AUG 5, 2008
The aroma is yeasty and funky with a wild yeast character. It’s also sweet. The appearance is golden with a huge head that doesn’t stop. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall an interesting but overpriced beer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Goodgrief (1656) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - FEB 24, 2008
June 2007 - Golden yellow, smallish head. Strong aroma of sweet candy and malts. Overwhelming sweetness that made it hard to finish even my small portion (thanks to eaglefan538 for sharing nonetheless). Highly carbonated, slightly grassy or else this would have been totally undrinkable for me. Ugh...not again.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Stine (1399) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - NOV 4, 2007
Poured from a 750. Clear, corn yellow appearance. Old pineapple juice, ethanol, and cider aroma. Simplistic, heated, and formidable. Hot and prickly flavor of honey, alcohol, sugar syrups; dead pears and expansive fusels. Intolerable for the most part. Sharp and quite violent in the mouth like a gritty champagne infused with sour grain and chemicals. Finishes with more sugar, and a tinny maple glint, pushing the boundary of complete foulness altogether too far. Thanks for sharing, Aaron!

Sua espuma tem aparência inicial grande e cremosa, coloração branca e boa longevidade. Há excelente formação de colarinho e seu corpo é borbulhante e convidativo, de densidade rala e tonalidade amarelo-claro. Seu restrito aroma apresenta moderada presença de malte e pão branco. O sabor inicial é levemente amargo, bem como o final, de curta duração. O corpo é leve, aguado, de forte carbonatação e final metálico

Bottle at Peter’s 2nd annual spring gathering. This was just horrible. Bottle was definitely infected, enormously large head and a hell of a gusher. Spicy funk and infections on the nose. Utterly nasty. Only beer of the day that I literally ran to the sink to spit out.
