Dec 12, 2009 Pours a pale golden buttery color with a quickly dissapting white head. No lacing, just a nice white ring around the top of the beer. Smells really sour with a strong barnyard quality to it. Definitely a bit funky, Bret Funky. The barnyard quality seems to be the strongest quality coming through in the nose. Maybe a bit fruity/citrusy. Definitly sour coming through, a touch of citrus fruits seem to be accessible. There’s that wild side of the yeast coming through in the finish. Interesting and very tasty beer.

Dec 12, 2009 Bottle. Strangely enough, this one has an upside-down label. Pours hazy orangey-gold, with a 1-finger white head that quickly reduces to a very persistent skim. Lacing is in sheets, and patchy. Nose is nice and tart; mild barnyard, fresh, surprisingly sweet apple, mild spice, a bit of cheese, some rather vinous aromas as well. Think past-due Champagne. Palate is light and crisp, nice bready yeastiness and solid tartness. Finish is a bit watery. A good, decent gueuze, which I can get from the corner store. Can’t ask for much more than that. Well... you can... apparently they’re getting Cantillon in February, which means I will be buying less of this after February.

Dec 8, 2009 Hazy peach pour with a massive frothy head and lots of carbonation. Aroma holds straw, grass, barnyard, and horseblanket; not a rude funk, but present, and welcome on the nose. Flavor is quite nice, starting with a mellow nectar and then morphing into a really nice and fairly aggressive shot of barnyard to the tongue. Palate is pretty light, but it’s nice that it’s funky but drinkable. A good gueuze, and definitely the best offering from Lindeman’s that I’ve had so far.

Dec 4, 2009 750 ml bottle. 2007 bottle. Smells of Sweet Tarts candy. Pours hazy yellow with a nice head which dissipates fairly quickly, nice lacing. Taste is extremely sour. I love all things sour, and this is delicious. Somewhat oily in texture. Lots of carbonation. Finishes sour, dry. Yummy.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy, pissy yellow with a white film. Aroma is skunky underripe fruits and a strong sourness. Flavor is intensely sour but clean with some vinegar. Palate is fizzy and light. A pretty average sour.
