I have absolutely no clue what to make of this one....The bottle we got had a pry off top and a cork under it. It also had a small additional label that said that it was brewed in 1994...is that possible? It drank almost compeltely like a sour...lots of tart apple and pear. No carbonation or head. Nutty stuff, I don’t know what else to say. I enjoyed it, very smooth going down given the flavors. Also I think that the alcohol in mine was much more than this.

Big bottle from Beer Mania. Hazy grapefruit body with huge head. Nose of coriander, citrus and orange peel. Taste is fruity, crisp, lots of lemon. Some spices and sour in the middle. Then gets quite bitter and sour in the finish with some spicy notes. Enjoyable one.

Sampled at an ESBLS tasting. A hazy and copper colored beer. An aroma that is interesting if not great. It is somewhat sour with some dried apricot and spices and is light. No carbonation at all, totally flat. The same apricot is tasted along with peaches. A bit of orange and a licorice thing going on. Somehow it doesn’t work.

Shared bottle with DutchDrebus. Not a real nice color and a very bad smell. Very much spices and like the describtion says a little acidic.

Shared a bottle with benzai. The cork underneath the cap took us by surprise. I love the colour of this beer, it’s semi perfect. It smelled really weird though, and taste was the same thing. I don’t like most of that spices that are in there, so i don’t like the beer also.

Bottle from Frank Smith’s. Pours turbid straw with off-white head. Nose was yeasty fruity malt, peppery spice, hops, citrus. Tastes like a spict saison, with the yeasty esters, some orange zest, black pepper, mild anise, and a decent complexity. If I see this again, I’ll likely try it again, as the scores here have a pretty large relative standard deviation, and I’m curious as to why.
