big aroma of ceder and oak with a musty basement or wine barrel room flair. hazy apercot color with high lacing. interesting and developed flavor with blue mold and ripe cheese, lactic and long. subtle and complex the supplication burned my pallet a bit unfortunately. the beer is dry and has a clean finish than lingers just a bit in the back.

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.
