kappldav123 (1790), Markkleeberg, Germany Nov 1, 2009 Bottle @ home. Looks really, really good. The beer in the glass also, very zippy, huge head. Starts very intense sourish, fruity like lemon and a bit apricot. Finish modest sourish, not as intense as the beginning. Very drinkable. Prickly, modest dry aftertaste. Very, very good! brewolf (33), Washington, USA Oct 5, 2009 A blend of three amazing brews ... what else would we expect, but excellence. Hazy golden pour, which was surprising to me considering the Cuvee is present here. Funky, fruity, earthy, especially picking up some sour cherry balsamic vinegar notes. Quite nice. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Sep 28, 2009 Cloudy gold pour Aroma is sour and funky as hell. Peach, lemon, oak, vinegar, lemons and earthy notes. Flavor is sour and fruity. Stone fruits, citrus, wood, vinegar. Mouthfeel is amazing. Super beer. tpd975 (95), Riverview, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2009 A: Pours a nice light golden hue with some cloudiness. The head is light but bubbly. Shows some pretty nice lace.
S: Citric fruit and acid notes from the start. Hints of peaches, with a hint of barn yard funk.
T: Mmm peaches! The citrus is there as well. Hints of hay and barn yard funk. Strawberries make an enterence with lemon zest. Just a touch of oak. Nice balance of sweet and tart.
M: Light zippy carbonation to carry the flavors.
D: Good, my favorite in a sour tasting that included most of the big boys. yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Sep 1, 2009 My favorite blend so far. Semi hazy orange yellow color not much head. Aroma is sour and fruity with tons of citrus and gueuze like aromas with wood and prickly skin. Flavor is so great. Sour and fruity. Peachy, lemon, grapes and berries. Little barrel and lots of sourness. I really could drink a lot more of this. Schultsc (478), Henderson, Nevada, USA Aug 30, 2009 Thank you Mike for this exceptional treat. Pours a brilliant light orange-gold with a thin, fine white head. This is a very pretty beer, with fine strands of bubbles rising up throughout the glass. Huge, bright, vibrant aroma full of berry fruit--strawberries--and stonefruit--apricots and peaches--on the top layer. A wonderful intertwining of fermentation notes swirls underneath with fresh, lively brett characteristics. More layers continue to emerge including some barrel oxidation, very light maltiness, and very soft hops spice. There are more bright fruits in the flavor--all of the above--with incredible tartness, mouth-watering acidity, and soft wood influence. Extraordinarily complex, distinctive, and balanced. Simply incredible. The pure, crisp, tart body is conveyed with perfect balance on the palate. It is multi-dimensional, vibrant, and both light and assertive. This beer has made me consider switching my "favorite style" to sour ale. I really hope that I get to try it again someday. TampaBrew (746), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 30, 2009 Bottle @ WTF OMG! POured a hazy yellow. Fruity, peachy, wooden, sour, tart grape, vinous, vinegar, lemon rind, apple skin, orange zest funk and earth. Big acedic acid and lactic sourness, oaky, citrus. Another gem! DaSilky1 (1933), San Diego, California, USA Aug 26, 2009 Hazed golden, ring of fluffy suds that coat the glass...peachy, oranges...lemon sourness...horsey background. Clean fruity sourness..subtle stinging nectarine essence among perfect biting sourness. Some bandage...I can’t find a single fault.
