PilsnerPeter (1477), Flushing, New York, USA May 12, 2008 Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Special thanks to whoever brought this rarity! Pale yellow- clear topped by a white ring. Extremely rich nose. Muscat grapes, apricot, vinegar, and a rich marmalade tartness. Complex, crisp flavor. Thoroughly tart and cleansing with green grapes, olives, vinegar and a crisp clean finish. Complex and insanely drinkable. I’m glad I got to try this stuff!
footbalm (1217), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Aug 10, 2008 Bottle from EDA, duh. Well this was my first or second beer of the evening so my palate was very fresh, which made the sourness feel like it was taking teeth down with it as I swallowed. It is just so weird how you can say" shit, it is sour" and have the sour be more than just yucky sour so much so that you just cant take your nose away and you mouth as well. So my ratings dont explain much, sorry. yobdoog (367), Woodridge, New York, USA Aug 10, 2008 Thank you Slander. This is by far my favorite BW maybe my favorite beer overall. So amazingly, rediculously good. SOur and fruity. Peach along with the skin, apples and citrus. Sweet, sour and dry finish. I want more of this now. DA (2474), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Aug 6, 2008 Acidic nose, lots of apple character, some melon, and a nice sourness coming through. Pours gold with a thin white head. At first this felt a bit sharp, but it warmed up to me, the balance of flavors seemed to come together, and what at first I thought tasted like vinegar sort of settled into a tart apple and citrus blend. Ughsmash (3079), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Aug 4, 2008 Thanks to Eric for bringing this gem! Poured clear, paler golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up sour pineapple and a touch of passion fruit upfront with tart wheat and pale fruit skins behind.. jam-packed with character, especially when you consider the beer’s small stature. The flavor was tart and powerful with dry wheat and fresh apricot skin sourness throughout.. dry wheat on the edges.. apple vinegar came through toward the back.. tasty! Moderate-to-high tartness on the palate and entirely engaging throughout.. the acidity dropped a little on the back-end and left a bone-dry, clean, refreshing finish. Excellent stuff! BrianK (74), New Jersey, USA May 23, 2008 Thanks to Slander. I loved this beer. Really intense sourness. I’m a huge fan.
