Head dissipates quickly. Most complexity is in the aroma of banana and citrus. Flavor is mainly lemony tart, not much else. Cool thing is Napoleon drank this exact recipe!

Dec 21, 2009 16.9 oz bottle. Pours slightly cloudy (with minimal chunks of yeast) and a huge big-bubble head that disappears almost instantaneously. Very effervescent but not like champagne. Aroma is chock full of light fruits (grape, pear, apple), wheat, lemon citrus, all with a distinctive sour note. Taste is similar. No hint of hops, DMS, diactyl, etc. Sour on the palate but not puckering like a lambic would be. Knocked a few points off overall impression because this is 5% ABV and the style is typically about half that. A good beer, nevertheless; very refreshing although almost too big to be a session beer (and probably too sour for most people to consume as a session!).

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lemonade color with almost no head. Aroma of wheat crisp, lightt lemon, some dirty sponge, a but funky, but all good stuff. Dry crisp apple cider. Flavor starts very fruity, crisp, cidery dry and sharp. a bit champagne like in the finish, dry and crisp. Medium body and a sharp but non obtrusive carbonation. Really interesting beer, complex but drinkable.

Dec 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a big fizzy white head. Notes of lemon, wheat, white grapes, doughy malts, pear. This is awesome. Like a nice doughy sweet bread with chunks of pear up front, followed by a nice lemongrass and wheat twang. Beyond crisp and refreshing. Lively carbonation. The champagne of beers! If this was less than $6.59 a bottle, i would drink this a lot more.

Dec 14, 2009 Not a huge fan of the style but this is probably the best I had. Poured yellow with moderate head. Nice and sour but not too much so. Good stuff.

Dec 9, 2009 Cheers Sebastian. Half-liter bottle pours a dull, hazy yellow-gold with nice white head. Nose of lemons, oranges, spring flowers and a yogurty edge. Lightly sweet taste, tangy, just a bit tart with just a touch of bitterness. Incredibly refreshing. Ought to be drunk by the gallon.

Nov 23, 2009 Effervescent, lively, golden yellow, slightly hazy, with a big white headd that slowly fades.. Aroma of grass, hay, lemon, mildly aromatic... Grass/Hay dominate a surprisingly sweet maltiness, with a mild tartness that follows... Very lively, very carbonated, almost sodalike... I would like to try this with the syrups, a hint of fruitiness would improve this for me immensely....

Nov 20, 2009 I’ve had this bottle sitting in my fridge forever. Pours lemony light yellow from the 25oz. bottle: Nose is light vinegar, yeast, granny smith apple, and big on citrus. Taste is similar with added fruit tones. A little watery, but still drinkable. Not a huge fan of this style, therefore I’m unfamiliar with it’s bouquet of flavors, but I appresh the traditional make of it. Drinkability: Light, citrus, tart. Refreshing. Rebuy: Sure. #202 on 20112009, DG.

Nov 15, 2009 500mL Bottle -- Pours golden with a white head. Aromas of lemon, wheat, and yeast. Great acidity and slight tartness. Can really taste the copious amounts of suspended yeast sediment from the bottle. Pretty lively carbonation. Light bodied with a dry finish.
