LCRBM2: Caramel and citrus in the strong aroma. Very strong lemon and grapefruit flavor. An upcoming sourness hides the obvious hop character. Lemon and sour cream in the aftertaste. What a taste bomb!

[2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] Aroma of fruit and oak. Cloudy, orange coloured with a thin white lasting head. Taste sweet, bit sour/tart, quite fruity (grapefruit). Carbonated. Very nice brew, but a top50 beer?

Batch PH1 bottle shared at the Columbus 2.0 tasting by Sliffy! - Thanks! - Pours amber cloudy with a slight fizzy white head. Aroma is amazingly powerful sour. Cherry, lots of funk, barnyard. Flavor is cherry, oakbrett, barnyard. Quite sharp, sour and almost puckering. Crisp clean and a very sharp acidic palate. Lots of fizzy carbonation. Very unique and pretty tasty overall.

Rerate: NYE, 2007. PH1. Unbelievably lovely, sour but not overly so. Batch 001 and PH1 side-by-side. The PH1 carbonation was constant and really thinned out the body. The 001 was positively creamy and gets much higher palate scores. Both beers have peachy aromas but the PH1 was severe and acetic on top of that while the 001 was nuanced and contained cherry and tropical notes. Flavors were sour but more than handleable, with some soft minerality in the 001 plus a little sugariness. The PH1 was much more aggressive. Rating the PH1 alone would be 8/3/8/3/17=3.9, rating the 001 alone would yield 9/4/9/5/18=4.5. The 001 is close to Temptation and Supplication qualia!

PH1 version. Colour is electric orange haze. Aroma is oak and sour with some saddle leather, not the leather coat kind. Flavour is oaky with lots of carbonation and sourness throughout. Very nice beer if you like the sours.
