Marko (3612) - Split, CROATIA - APR 18, 2013
Bottle from a store in Leuven. Poured a hazy golden body with a small white head. Glue, dust and nice funk in the aroma, very very light alcohol too though. Fine funky taste, rice crispies, even just a touch sweetish, as odd as it sounds. Extremely balanced Oude Geuze that might appeal to the masses too.

Gerbeer (857) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 9, 2013
375 ml bottle. Pours a light clear gold with medium head that dissipates quickly. Tart funky barnyard and floral aromas. Surprisingly not as tart as the smell; flavors of citrus, rose hips, wood, and sour candy. Quite nice.

Nightsky (172) - Lutz, Florida, USA - APR 9, 2013
I could immediately pick up the sour aroma when I opened the bottle. It's very pale in color but poured with a massive head but quickly diminished. Has a bit of a metallic taste but the palate is fantastic. It's very sour and a lingering finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jnkor (289) - Tampa, Florida, USA - APR 9, 2013
Aroma is subtly wild, with a sweet dryness and tartness. A little vinegar in the aroma too. Poured with a large head of tony bubbles. Murky orange yellow, letting through a good amount of light. Taste is sweet but acrid, finishing very dry and tart.

TaxiDriver (1394) - Stadland, GERMANY - MAR 29, 2013
Bottle. It smells fruity, strong aroma of yeast. The head is quite large, pale yellow and fizzy with a normal duration. The body is lively and dark yellow. The taste is surprisingly sweet, only soft sour. The body is light, lively with a lot of carbonation. The finish is light dry.

maxwelldeux (2222) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAR 24, 2013
Bottle. Pours a hazy light amber color with a thick bubbly white head. Nose is filled with citrus and acidic notes, but is very inviting. Taste is definitely dry and tart, but doesn’t end up being overly sour. Feels very bubbly.
