bottle poured a wheat amber in color with a thin layer of white foam on the surface and unrelenting carbination. aroma has sour green apples, citrus peel, beautiful yeast, tart cherry, candy sugar, and some background oak. just really something to smell and just got better as it warmed a bit, had no idea this would be so good. flavor is tart like it should be but with this dry sweetness that offsets it so well, light to drink with such great fruit combinations. keeps coming at you with yeast, and the subtle flavor from the oak is tremendous, lambic like but totally different. so much better than the Oud Bruin, combines the fruit sweetness and dryness so well.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours bright gold into a snifter. Bright white head leaves sheet lacing as it recedes to skim surface. Sour citrus aromas. Full sour fruit. Puckering yet crisp.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle, Belgian Belly, Chorlton. Poured a clear true golden colour with a medium white head. Aroma was intensely woody mixed with sour green apple.
Flavour had obvious evidence of the oak barrel aging. Wasn’t overtly sour and struck a good balance between the woodiness and the fruit. Definite cider parallels. Finish was sour if a little short.

Aug 8, 2008 A real treat. Pours a fizzy golden color with a large white head that sticks around to the last sip. The flavor reveals a light tart aroma with a bit of fresh green apple and straw. The flavor is a bit bigger than the aroma with noticeable oak elements along with a subtle sourness and fruity finish. Very fizzy mouthfeel. Very nice.

Aug 6, 2008 A clear yellow/golden colored beer, with a huge white foamy head. The aroma reminds me at a geueze. It’s sour, woody, fruity fresh of citrus, with some malts. At the taste you recognized the time it’s conserved in wooden barrels. It’s a fruity fresh beer, with notes of bread in teh back. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Aug 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours nearly clear gold with a lacy white head. Aroma of sour vanilla and earth. Medium-light body and carbonation. Taste of white grapes and brett with a little edge of white vinegar. Crisp and refreshing finish. This is nice!
