Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow, jerc & mabel -- c/o j&m. Pours a murky yellow-peach with a spare diminishing bubbly white. Aroma: Whoa Nellie! Super tart and sour with lots of fruit, some vinegar, white wine and wood. Huge tart and sour fruit flavour along with some vinegar and plenty of acidity. Medium bodied. Simply amazing!

[3896-20110819] 750mL bottle. Super sour Belgian yeast has a little underlying fruit. Hazy, orange brown body with a quick foamy off-white head. Super sour yeast continues in the flavour with hints of kiwi-like fruit. Full body is all sour. Not sure I could have picked out the kiwi but I can see it now; phenomenal sour notes, nothing else quite like it. (8/3/8/4/15) 3.8-
Overheard: "It’s the colour of shampoo.

Thanks to Jerc & Mabel. Appearance: Vibrant yellow, murky, small white head. Aroma: Sour as hell, lots of kiwi, tangy, fruit skins. Flavour: Super sour, lovely and tart, kiwi, almost salty, long super sour finish. Delightful.

Bottle: The aroma consists of sour lemon, lemon peel, funk, and faint oak. I don’t get any kiwi in the nose. It pours a cloudy dull yellowish-orange with a small white head. The flavor starts with a very quick dose of kiwi. The finish has heavy sour lemon and a hint of oak. Light bodied with lively, but not prickly, carbonation.

750mL bottle, courtesy of yjb. Thanks, Yaniv!! Pours a murky orange color; mostly headless. Some kiwi, light jamminess, and modest tart citrus with a hollow, dusty core. Medium body; modest carbonation. Medium levels of acidity and tartness; some kiwi-like fruitiness at the core, along with some lemony sourness and chewy fruit; tasty but certainly muddled. Medium-length finish: tart, citrusy, with a balanced lingering fruitiness.

Sampled at an ESBLS tasting. Cloudy golden with sediment. There is a dry kiwi taste with subtle wood and barnyard funk. It was pretty good.
