Mar 9, 2008 Sample pulled from the barrel by Tomme. Thanks again!
Bright orange/yellow and pretty cloudy. Nose is acidic, peaches and cheese. Horse blanket and leather(?)
Taste is mouth puckering sour. Lemon, oak and light peach. Little bit of sugar and mellow yeasty flavors. Mouth feel was good with a thick syrupy feel. No carbonation as it was pulled from the barrel. Seeing this one finally come together and being able to taste was a great experience. Cheers to Tomme for letting me taste this one.

Feb 10, 2008 This one has what I lovingly refer to as pucker power. Hazy and unfiltered, with a musty kind of stinky cheese aroma, almost Burgundian in nature. Slightly dusty, with a fair amount of tart acidic fruit flavors and just a hint of fruity peach flavors in the finish that become more apparent as it warms. Enjoyable, with just the right amount of Brett.

Jan 1, 2008 Draught at Brouwer’s Café: Pinkish straw, very hazy, thin white sudsy head, falls quickly. Semi-sweet musty nose, really dusty
and basement like. Pale sourness on the tongue, moderate sweetness, but the Peach aspect is more like the pit than the meat.
Gets a bit more sweet as it warms. Decent sourness, almost more inclined to say it is fairly tart. Lingers long, tiz good and
dry. Very clean. Moderate to full body and mouthfeel. Does have a really dusty or moldy like aftertaste. Not as
peachy as say New Belgiums offering, but equally as good.

Dec 17, 2007 Sampled at the second annual Bistro’s West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Fest: Pours a hazy goldenrod with a frothy, well-lacing white head. Aroma of tart sweet lemon and some earthy oak complexity along with notes of olive oil. Body starts semi-sweet with some funky earthy complexity and faint vegetal character toward a tart, slightly puckering finish. Has some mild earthy peachskin flavor throughout. Pretty interesting.

Dec 3, 2007 draft @ bigwood fest - hazy gold with big white head bringing out the very tart aromas; also mixed with peaches, yeast and spice; rich, creamy texture, but wow this one was sour; a little too much for me
