Bottle: pours a light yellow with just a bit of haze, very thin white head that laces around the edge of the tulip glass, sour, bretty aroma, not too stank though, taste is very tart at first and then mellows out, some citrus, some fizzy carbination, dry finish. Nice stuff!

2008-12-20. Golden yellow with a tiny quick white head. Sour-funk aroma, sour citrus/lemons briefly. Flavour is similarly sour with touches of lemon citrus sourness. Strongly acidic/sour finish. Sourness grows with each sip. It does have some more delicate notes to it but they require you to look with more effort than you should. Sourness is the dominant overall impression. Smooth average to medium bodied palate. Decent, but just ok. <i> Bottle courtesy of HogTownHarry or Premier Gourmet, I forget which</i>

Bottle at the Herot.Pours a cloudy yellow but not yeast cloudy. Aroma of sour oak.First sip is a little sour but once you get past that its awesome brett not over done and highly drinkable. Just enough sourness to make this Flemish sour rock with highly drink ability. For someone who was wanting to get into or experiment with sour beer this is an awesome place to start..Recommend

Bottle compliments of Beerlando’s extras. Pours a golden hue, hazy with small offwhite head that dissipates quickly. Well carbonated body, bright and cheery brew. Aromas are easily picked out: Sour grapes and cherries mixed with oak and some light funk round out a largely sour nose. Taste starts a little sour and fizzy on the tounge, moving to a moderate to lighter moderate tartness, light oak and sour grapes mixed with some nice citrus and bretty funk that adds to the sourness. Finishes dry and crisp on the palate, leaving some elements of the sourness and funk on the aftertaste, but not much. A decent sour, sessionable, pretty good.

Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Pour was clear pale yellow with little carbonation. Aroma was tart cherry and a little funky yeast. Flavor was sugary sour, almost like biting into a fresh lemon, finish was very nice and smooth. Will definitely pick up again.

Bottle brought back from Copnehagen, shared with tashi at my place. Hazy straw yellow with a persistent thin white head. Sour citrus aroma. Cider vinegar flavour with a fruity finish. Palate rather weak in my opinion. tashi feels it needs aging.

Bright golden pour with athin white head. The nose is like sweetarts and brett, as is the flavor. Very light and delicate.

Hazy amber, sweet & tart, fruity, citrus, little funk, little grassy, dry finish.
