From a 330mL Bottle. Pours a transparent, honey gold color with a thin layer of fizzy white head. Aromas of sour lemon, musty horseblanket, and cheesy funk. Hints of oaky vanilla. Tart peach skins and fermented grapefruits. Light bodied, mildly carbonated mouthfeel with moderate acidity. A moderate lactic acidity greets the palate up front, along with hints of lemon juice and a bright point reyes bleu funk. Light white pepper spice and touches of aged oak. Could use a bit more carbonation to lighten up the palate and help heighten the brighter flavors of the beer. The musky flavors are complex and satisfying, but would be further heightened with some brighter balance. Lingering finish of cheese rind and lemon pith.

Jul 6, 2008 Clean copper pour with bubbly white head and no lace. Medium malt and sour on the nose. A very clean sour ale it was like a palate cleaner. Very full and aggressive carbonation. Very nice sour beer that leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh.

Jul 3, 2008 pours a brillant amber color with abundant carbonation and the best head retention I’ve ever seen in a lambic. left lots of lacing on the glass. aroma was apple cider viniger, cellar notes, funk, and horseblanket. flavor was much of the same, but very round. light astringent mouthfeel. Finish has some lemon intermixed with the horseblanket and acidic notes. somewhere inbetween a drie fountainen and a Cantillon. Damn near perfect.

Jul 2, 2008 Trade thanks to CaptainCougar. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Sour and yeasty nose. First taste was off the hook sour. But i couldn’t stop, I kept going back for more. Each mouthful brought on a new fruit, yet pulled the moisture from my palate.
