The Lure:
Lone raindrops delicately falling into a puddle. That is how the tintinnabulation of single piano notes sound in me, as percipient pears nobly take the hand of recipient honey. Their first step forward is the epitome of togetherness. White wine and bread are handed to them, and the violin trembles in, supported by long cello murmurs. A spiritual communion to the eternity of their fraternity. The surrounding wilderness blends into the scenery admirably, eyes close, unable to cope with the depth of the rising melody. The courting begins.
The Festivities:
Eyelids open gradually to the elevating orchestra punctuations. White grapes and honey plot the course of the bretty polyglot. Piano chords intelligently ring in the fully-developed musicality, and lambic tartness soars like soundscapes. Drums resonate quickly, to stop immediately, as silence and wooden dryness gently hover. The single piano notes reappear like haphazard raindrops, a citrus fruit amorously squeezed for some of its precious juice. Eyes close once again, softly, in total serenity.
Transcendence:
Worlds reside in silences.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottle: Aroma of tart fruits, Brett, oak, and alcohol. Poured gold/yellow/urine in color with a medium-sized, creamy, dense white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Very sparkling. Very tart flavor. Tastes of Brett, tart fruits, oak, white grapes, chardonnay, and some minerals. Light to medium body. Dryish, mineral texture. Average to lively carbonation. Tarty, Gueze-like finish.

Oct 5, 2008 5/16/08. It pours a peachy amber color with a fluffy, white head and it leaves amazing lacing on the glass as I drink it. This smells absolutely incredible. It has a very nice subtle sourness and an extremely inviting sweetness behind it. I could smell this all day long. The taste is predominantly of sour fruits but it is not so overpowering as to cover up the nice oakiness and light malt sweetness. This is best described as subtle but amazing. At first I had the taste as a 9 but it just got even better as it warmed and had to change it to a 10. The mouthfeel is great for a sour,very dry and wine like. It is extremely drinkable and the alcohol is just non existent in the taste. I wish I had bought many more of these babies. Highly recommended.

Oct 3, 2008 This is a nice big sour ale. Complex and flavorful. On tap at Stone. Pours a deep hazy gold, with thick off-white head. Tastes like a strong gueuze. citrus lemon zest, sour apple, white grape, oak, funk, and some dry bitterness. Excellent sour, quite complex.
