750 ml bottle from O’Briens. Lots of sour tart fruity aromas. Flavors were also tart with some acidic sour flavors. Lots of Grapefruit and Gueze like tartness. So Very Yummy.

750ml bottle, pours a hazy but bright golden yellow with a fizzy white head, some spotty sheet of lacing. Aroma is intense, with lots of sour and funk, notes of lemon, dried citrus - tart, sour and citrusy in near perfect harmony. This beer takes the sour, tart and citrus right to the edge of overboard and holds the line nicely. An incredible balance of intensity and delicacy that is very, very nice. Great stuff, and well worth the reputation!

A slightly cloudy pour, no mentionable head. Aroma is of tart green apple, lemon, lime and grapefruit. Flavor wise, this is the best sour beer I have had to date....granted, I have not had many of them. It’s sour like a face smacker and the long lingering finish slower turns mildly sweet. This is a very complex beer, it would be interesting to have this with someone more attuned to sours so that I could learn the nuances.

Cloudy golden in color with a thin lacy white head. Smell is sour, tart fruitiness, and some good funkiness. Medium and bone dry. Great smell. Taste is sour, some acidity, fruits, good balance of the sourness.

Outstanding! Absolutely, positively deckodent!
Golden blond hue, and aroma that makes my sinus pucker… a plum wine and green apple vinegar acidity that almost makes the new batches of Cantillon Gueze seem like a child’s apple juice. This is a remarkable interpretation of a truly classic style of beer!
WELL DONE to ALL that embarked!
