| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 30, 2007 Good white foam on hazy yellow body. Light lemony flavor. Sourness is very subdued, hardly deserving of a syrup to cut it. Drinkable; very nice. IrishBoy (2714), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 25, 2007 Bottle from Eaglefan538; Nose is wheaty like a hefe with a bit of light banana, and hints of citrus and tartness; very cloudy yellow with a blood red tint added and a medium yellow-tinged head; Flavor is reasonably tart, but not too much with some breadiness, and definate lemon.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 26, 2008 bottle thanks to Oakes. Hazy pale tan color. Audible fizziness makes it a fun beer to listen to. Sour tang of yogurt in aroma and flavor both. A little on the fizzy side but overall a fun drink. michael-pollack (2704), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 9, 2007 Very cloudy golden pour that seems to glow when held up to the light, with a large, foamy head that shrinks rapidly - moderately tart aroma, with copious citrus fruits, wheat malt, a tiny bit of earthy funk far in the back - very crisp, with tingly carbonation - a very clean tartness that borders on sour, but never quite crosses that border, remaining lemony and refreshingly tart throughout - mouthfeel becomes creamy after the carbonation calms down a bit, and a slight mineral character settles in - the tartness drops out in the finish, leaving behind wheat and other grains, light orange sweetness, a hint of breadiness - very light, tasty and refreshing, and probably a great "gateway" into the world of sour beer for the uninitiated. nick76 (2667), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 3, 2008 The aroma is sour wheat, sour kraut, barley, and yeast. The appearance is hazy with gold color and a nice head. The flavor is sour but not overly so and like the aroma. The palate is thin but just right. Overall it’s good.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Nov 29, 2007 The beer departs the 500ml bottle a hazy light gold, the head monstrous in size, a bright creamy white, and it fades slowly, leaving the lace a thick and tight sheet upon the glass. Nose has a sweet and sour tone, fresh, crisp, spicy and mouth watering to say the least. Start is sweet with grain, tart at the back with the top light to medium in feel. Finish has a modest acidity, the sweet and sour taste continues to the end, quite dry and a good representative to the style. puzzl (2632), New York, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 3, 2007 500ml bottle. Wow. Very pale pour with tons of bubbles and a lovely white, crisp head. Nose is deep and complex, banana esters and lactic tartness, vanilla and a hint of cocoa. Supremely refreshing, slight tartness still significant in the flavor, with a very wheaty and dry finish. Incredibly drinkable; I could session this stuff all day. Brilliantly done. I looked forward to the other "historic signature series" brews mentioned on the label.
