(Sample Date: 7/18/2009 Source:Other) Bottle courtesy of dkachur on 07/18/2009. Very light slightly cloudy straw color. A Brett like sour apple cider aroma. Earthy with spicy and peppery flavor. Slightly smoky. Finish has a good amount of creosote like notes. Quite tart and fairly acidic.

Hazy yellow. Definite brett in the aroma. The aroma burns the eyes just a tad. I’m not sure where the smoke is coming from, but there are all sorts of phenols here. There’s even a little cheese. I’m honestly having a little trouble finding an aroma or flavor not represented here.

Thanks to Blazer06 for the share. Pours undehydrated urine yellow with no head. No carbonation. Aroma is sour apple, granny smith, vinegar, funk, and yeast. Flavor is vinegar, band-aid, apple, smoke, lacto, with some earthy cowpile-esqueness. Unique. That is for sure.

20091115 750ml bottle from Whole Foods in Middletown, NJ. Quite clear, pale yellow with slight induced fizz that fades quickly like a proseco. Aroma is mildly sulfurous, musty, and a touch acetic. Sprightly bodied stuff with brisk acidity and mild wet farmhouse funk. Sour and citrus filled cider with pleasant funk and some grassy and black peppercorn that I assume must come from yeasts? Fun stuff that is easily drinkable yet challenging as you might want to make it. Wish I had some salty and oily cheese and olives to pair this with, as that would probably work well.

Courtesy of Blazer06. Pours pale watery gold. The aroma smells of sourness and little else. The taste is also sour with slight bacon notes around the edges. That’s interesting. It ends smooth even and refreshing with a hint or two of lime.
