jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 9, 2013
2013-04-27. Crisp golden amber body nice white head and light lace. 3++ Aroma starts with notes of musty basement, mild grainy malt, lactic sourness. 7++ Flavour is pleasantly sour, lemon notes, modest malt core. The sourness is not overly intense but starts to dominate as the bottle goes one. Average plus bodied palate with modest carbonation suits it. 3+ Pleasant, pretty subtle. Nuanced beyond what I have vocabulary for at this point. Solid but a bit too gentile for its own good? Needs the flavours other than sourness to be slightly more assertive to take it to the next level. Bottle at Prohibition Pig, Waterbury.

Idiosynkrasie (1831) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - MAY 2, 2013
750ml bottle. Hazy amber colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Unspecific fruity, yeasty aroma. Taste is rather sourish, peach-like fruity notes, some yeast. Sourish notes are close to a Fruit Lambic.

Kristall-König (1843) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - APR 6, 2013
Hefewürziger Geruch, Koriander, säuerlich. Säuerlicher Start. Mitte säuerlich-herb, hefige Einflüsse, Traube und Muskat. Trockenbitterer Abgang. Ok - ist mir persönlich auf Grund der Säure aber zu anstrengend.

maekchu (1086) - Hirakata, JAPAN - MAR 21, 2013
Bomber. Thanks to Chris H. Sugary, yeasty aroma with very light caramel. Dull light brown color. Sharp tart apples / cinnamon and light fruit, with a touch of oxidation / very quick finish. Thin-medium body. Nice, tart, and refreshing (but not so exceptional) stuff.
