aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Nov 17, 2007 The color was light golden. The head was thin, creamy, and white. The aroma had a funkyness to it. It smelled similar to a flemish sour ale with earthyness. The flavor was sour/tart and earthy. The palat was average. The finish had a little bitterness to it. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Nov 17, 2007 Pours a pale hazy soft gold with a one finger creamy white head. Nice carbonation.The aroma is sweet mandarin orange peel, spices, light funk, . The flavor is spicy, funky, citrus peel, tangy. Biting carbonation, but full mouthfeel. Different aspects of the flavor last longer in the mouth. The spicy tangy is more present at first giving way to pepper, then warm mandarin orange. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. Hazy golden pour with lots of white head. Tart aroma with lemons, earthy malt, and yeast. Slightly earthy malt, spices, citrus and tartness mix in the flavor. Pretty good. GregClow (2493), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 13, 2007 Bottle obtained from HogTownHarry. Hazy golden-yellow with a huge pillowy white head. Aroma and flavour of citrus, tropical fruit (esp. pineapple), yeast, pepper, wood, a slight funkiness, and herbal hops. A great example of one of my favourite styles. Dezzilu (211), Whitmore Lake, Michigan, USA Nov 12, 2007 The appearance was Just like the commerical description, golden and cloudy: it looks good in the glass. The aroma was very citrus, but the hops are also strong. The favor was surprising refreshing and reminded me more a wheat beer then it did an ale. The finish did show signs of an ale, but didn’t end very dry. A nice beer, very unique, but not an ale in the truest sense. Cheers. hellbilly (1502), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Nov 12, 2007 pours cloudy coppery/gold with a huge white head. sweet citrus/lemon, caramel and fruity sourness(like watered down vinegar) in the aroma. flavor is full of peppery yeast, dried herbs and wood with a little citrus sourness. finishes dry and crisp with some lingering bitterness. medium bodied and on the high side of carbonation. BeerBelcher (930), Columbus, Ohio, USA Nov 10, 2007 Saisons/farmhouse ales run across such a wide spectrum of beer, that I have a hard time saying I like the style, as there are many examples I like and many I don’t. This particular sample offers a hefe-like wheat-y mouthfeel and flavor, matched with an intense amount of sourness I really enjoyed.
Appearance was a hazy straw color with towering head formation which I found extremely appealing. This fine cumulus-head stuck around for a long time, maintaining its height in the middle of my glass and it sloped downwards on the edge of the glass. Aroma was light and wheat-y, but also rather sour. Flavor was similar. Mouthfeel was pucker-y, like you’d expect a sour beer to be.
Quite nice. Definitely recommended.
I bought this bottle at Murray’s Wine & Spirits "going out of business" sale. dalepryor (172), Paducah, Kentucky, USA Nov 9, 2007 smells great at first whiff! pours a great golden cloudy orange, nice thick fluffy white head. the taste is a little off-center for me, a little sour, not bad really just not the greatest taste. overall decent - worth trying but not buying
