Jul 25, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. What a treat. Sour and funky. Preserved lemon, bretty, excellent. Tart finish. The best thing about this beer is what it leaves on your lips - when you lick the little bit of beer off it’s almost like fresh fruit - yuzu, lemon, grapefruit. Well rounded but not completely balanced. Tropical yet subtle. Another outstanding beer from an excellent brewer.

Jul 25, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Very pale golden beer with almost no head at all. Bright tart lactic aroma, lemon and lemon rind citrus with a bright grapefruity character as well. Soft musty and funky with a lightly dusty component. Some light funky horsey character over a very light pineapple fruitiness as well. Soft minerally character in the middle of the palate. Bone dry beer with a bright tart finish as well that hits you right in the cheeks. As it warms some chewy leathery qualities make themselves apparent. It is very good, but there is an odd herbal/medicinal quality in the mid-palate that I don’t really care for... despite that, this is an excellent brew.

Jul 23, 2008 Sour funky aroma of cheese & feet came off the bronze fluid. Flavors of pure solid funk with relentless sourness. Riding alongside was notes of white grape and cheese. This beer is superbly clean and full blown sour...Its nice to have some funkiness for a change, though I think the funk needs to be a little more chunky to make this beer perfect.

Jul 21, 2008 Batch 002. Pours a slightly hazy gold with hardly any head or lacing. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, tangerine, sourness, some sort of caramalized sweetness and a bit of oak. Taste is a bit buttery and woody, with wuite a bit of lemon sour tartness. Puckeringly dry. Like a much less complex Belle Proximous.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle, Batch 002.
Head is initially small, fizzy, white, mostly diminishing.
Body is hazy dark yellow, bottle conditioned.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately yeasty (barnyard, horseblanket), with notes of sour apple, lemon zest.
Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately to heavily acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, moderately to heavily acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Much closer to a gueuze than batch 1...in fact, in a blind tasting I might even guess it *was* a gueuze. Excellent stuff.
