10th Columbus Tasting (Christmas 2007) I caught the warm tail end of hte bottle with extra sediment: Thus very yeasty with strong lemon rind nose and taste. Would make an excellent pairing with seafood--just a thought.

Nov 27, 2008 <b>In short: </b>An extra-sharp semi-funky blonde ale. Very Good.<br />
<b>How: </b>Bottle 750ml, about 5 months old<br />
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy yellow body topped by a medium white head with medium retention <br />
<b>In long: </b>Nose is medium funky, this is nowhere as wild as Leelanau White Whale. From the nose this is more like a farmhouse Saison than a funky/bretty Jolly Pumpkin/Leelanau beer. Taste is rather hard-hitting for such a low abv beer. Aggressive carbonation, sharp spicy bitter hops, crisp honeyed biscuits, pineapples, strong minerals sensation, some lemon, a little oily. That beer felt like a Sprite™ blended with a semi-funky ale. The beer is rather dry and tart. As it warmed up lemony meringue was becoming a dominant flavour. This is a very good beer but considering Leelanau/Jolly Pumpkin line-up I was expecting James Brown funkiness but I got something that was well executed, effective, straightforward, and as funky as AC/DC.

Nov 20, 2008 750ml Bottle: Aroma of Brett yeast, tart fruit, slight funk, and lemon-lime citrus. Aroma tart enough to make my mouth water. Poured pale yellow/light gold/flaxen in color with no head. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Some medium-sized particles. Flavor is very tart. Tastes like a sour ale. Flavors of citrus, tart fruit, and hints of blueberry and bubblegum. Medium body. Tingly, effervescent texture. Lively carbonation. Tart, saliva-producing finish.
