jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jan 23, 2009 Color is orange with a generous off-white head. Aroma is sour, with lemon and barnyard and slightly spicy.Flavor is tart with hints of oak and lemon. Very smooth and dry. DalzAle (474), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA Jan 11, 2009 Sample enjoyed at Skyview tasting. I could smell this stuff all night; wonderful sour aroma! Funky yeast with lemon sour notes that finshed with a mild tartness. I hope I can get some of this in the future. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Jan 7, 2009 Thanks a ton TheCheeseMan! 8Pours a nicely carbonated orange amber with a one finger sticky white head. The nose is nicely tart, fruity, pineapple, yeasty, oaky. The flavor is very tart and acidic, lemongrass, acetic bite, lasting tartness, ripe fruit, spicy. The palate is nice and acidic, oaky tartness with a spicy fruity character and some residual tannins. Very nice for my 1300th. mreusch (714), Olathe, Kansas, USA Jan 1, 2009 Updated: Jan 2, 200937,5cl bottle, with thanks to TheEpeeist for this excellent bonus. Pours a hazy golden with a minimal fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is nice, but less intense than expected, with sour grapes, apples skins, musty funk, and light citrus. Flavor is nicely sour, with more musty funk, sour apple and grape, and a nice lingering sourness. Easy to see why this is a Top 100 beer, thanks again Chris! wickedpete (625), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Dec 30, 2008 This pours out with a slightly hazy orange body that practically glows in the glass. A light white head forms and then fades to a mist resting on top, and at the sides of the glass, soapy bubbles remain. The aroma is striking. It is incredibly sour with layers of rotten apples, unripe pears, cheese rind, and pepper. Nice tart flavor is puckering. Lemons, oak, acidic, and a slight bitterness in the finish. Perfect body with a lingering aftertaste. Pretty much amazing. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Dec 23, 2008 Dark clear coppery orange that left big dark sediment stuck to the bottom of the bottle and only a little slips in. A few fingers of foamy puffy white head form. Big musty barnyard aroma, lemon acidity and taste is tart, strong sour acidity, funky battery acid and a biting light cherry woodiness. Love this stuff. TomDecapolis (3127), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 19, 2008 Thanks to weearerockband for sharing this one. Pours a hazy golden orange with a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma was musty, funky, bready, floral, citrus and perfume. Flavor a match of teh same with a nice intense tartness. ghawener (952), San Salvador, El Salvador Dec 17, 2008 Bottle: In San Diego a part of lambic & sour ale trastings, extreme bitternes, champaign like very dry.
