Bottle: Poured a clear deep golden color ale with a large foamy head that disappeared way too quickly without any lacing. Aroma of spices with bland malt base and light dry Brett notes. Taste is also dominated by light spice mix with notes of bland Belgian style malt with a very faint funky aftertaste. Body is a bit light for style with average carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very disappointing from a brewery who usual produce better offering.

Draught @ New Belgium. Cloudy orange haze. Lemony nose with other hints of apple, passion fruits and peach. Light, grainy, toasty, herbal, almost minty flavor with a slight hint of a brettanomyces contribution. I’ve never been fond of this one.

On tap at Apex, pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of doughy malt - not much on the nose really. Flavour of dry bread, wheat and maybe some yeast - similarly bland flavour profile. Pointless beer to me, yet dry and refreshing. Decent enough I suppose.

Draught. Pours an extremely cloudy amber color with a smallish pillowy white head. They said it was near the end of the keg, so it may look a bit weird. Nose is subtle, but slightly malty. Taste is light and slightly sweet. Meh.

The aroma is spicy with urinal cake, spices, and overripe fruit. The appearance is light amber with a big head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall this is not very good to me.

A mixture of sour citrus and wheat combine to create the aroma of this beer. A golden-orange color and moderate head and decent lacing are the signature markings of this beer. The taste is of bitter wheat marked by mild citrus inflections. The taste fades fast.

Tap at CK. Clear deeper orange with a thicker yellowish head. Webby, weak lace. Nose is sugary and sticky malty with sweetened cherries. Taste is sticky, applely, blander with mealy apple and mineral water tinged with mild butter and powdery sweet rolls. Overly sweet and bland overall. Not good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle sample at the 3rd Israeli Sour Tasting. Thanks beerandbeyond. Pours cloudy orange with orange and clove aroma, tastes like white orange peel. Rather flat, light body. Not amazing.

translucent copper with a persistant beige head.

aroma: sour, brett funk, metallic, citrus rind, fruity flanders ale esters, and some biscuity malt.

taste: mostly the brett funk of the aroma, but with some bathroom phenolics rather than the nice flanders sour notes.

Pours a copper color with an orange glow to it. Aroma is of alcohol mostly with a hint of sweetness like caramel. Taste is of strong alcohol like a lambic a little refreshing but not a simple tasting beer. Overall, too strong alcohol taste for me, kind of tough to finish.
