750ml bottle purchased at Wlv and shared in Dunedin../ pours a semi-hazy medium orange brown pour and topped with a thin to medium creamy white head. Pretty consistent throughout... Aroma of semi-tart tropical fruit with not too much of a distinguishing lychee presence. Almost a light peachy apricot aspect to it. Solid sour feel to it... Strong tropical fruit character with a good degree of lactic sourness. An earthy bitterness to cut through mid to late and lasting through the finish. Shy of medium bodied with a semi-lively mouthfeel. Nice sour without at discernable pure fruit presence.

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2012 with a name like Sour Bitch, this should be great! .. pours a frothy gold orange .. medium head, lacing is alright .. . touches of strange wood, pear, and some yeast.. not really at all sour .. . this falls flat and even at 2.5, i’m being generous .. . not enjoyable in the slightest... . edit, my slight attempt at humor has been removed.

Thanks to Huhzubendah for sharing this bottle. Served in a SAVOR wine glass. Pours a clear light peach color with a good white head and some nice lacing. The nose has a bit of cheese and some lychee. Flavor is relatively similar. Light sourness. Light body with spritzy carbonation. Pretty good but not fantastic.

Pours golden with an orange hue and decent bubbly white head. The aroma is the only disappointing part since there is not much there. The flavor of tropical tartness from the lychees blends with some light sweet citrus on top of a clean and lightly crisp body. Delicious overall.

Muddy pale orange with good, creamy, white head / Elegant nose of orchard fruit, oak, and brett / Light to medium body, tart and acidic, lively, hint of sweetness, with good balance and mildly bitter finish / Tart flavors of apple, pear, lychee (presumably), oak, hay, basil, and a touch of barnyard / Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity sour tart aroma. Fruity sour tart citrus flavor with hints of lychee and weak woody hints. Has a fruity sour tart lychee finish.

Bottle shared by CaseyK...thanks Casey! - Pours clear golden with a bubbly white head. Nose is sour citrusy funk--pretty straightforward, and I can’t say I could pick out the lychee. Smooth taste, fairly subtle citrus rind and really pale malt. Real dry and note aggressive. Sharply carbonated with a fairly light body. Not too bad--real restrained.

75 cL bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with a huge crisp head. Aroma is classic barnyard and crisp citrusy and floral to fruity. Smooth fruity, light sweetness to a nice crisp citric and sourness. Ends lingering fruity and crisp sour.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of fruits and some brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet and acidic with notes of lychee fruits, brettanomyces, and wood, leading to a tart finish. Not as crazy as I’d hoped.

Massive Mikkeller pt.2. Pretty peach color with a decent amount of carbonation. Sour funk aroma with hints of fruit. Flavor was tart and well balanced. Good all around sour.
