Aug 16, 2005 An unclear orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sour - like a Flemish sour ale - combined with notes of oranges and peaches. The flavor is also sour - again as a Flemish sour ale - with notes of wood as well as hints of the alcohol, and with a dry end. It is slightly one-dimensional, and the body is slightly thin. Thanks to Aaron for bringing this to RBESG.

Aug 25, 2005 Bottled at RBESG. Cloudy amber, lively head. Striking Cantillon-like citric nose. The freshening citric acid dominates, but undrenath there is loads of flavours, like buttery malt, some red wine and toffee. Very drinkable despites it’s complexity with many lambic like aspects. An awesome beer, and my allround favourite at RBESG ’05.

Aug 24, 2005 (Bottle 37,5 cl) Hazy amber golden with a handsome head. Slightly tart nose with a weak, fruity touch. Loads of malt in here and again this light, rather refreshing tartness. Reminds me of a Belgian Kriek. Lovely with an incredible complexity in the long aftertaste. 120805

May 26, 2005 Preview bottle courtesy Vinnie Cilurzo. Vibrant reddish-amber colour, with clouds. Orange-peach esters share the aroma with brettanomyces, leather and big Pinot Noir character. The flavour is less voluptuous, but still pretty good with vinous notes and a hit of sweet cherry a la NGBR. Fruity, balanced and unique. Aging in wine barrels is definitely something I approve of - the flavours meld so naturally with estery beer styles.
