2007 PP SAF Bottle brought by JohnC, many thanks! : Cloudy golden hue with a fluffy head and spotty lace. The aroma is wonderfully funky and herbal with sour apple and tangerine esters, catty and oaky vapours as well.
The taste displays tart fruit, chewy yeast, earthy herbal pungent notes with woody and light spice finish. The mouth feel is sprite, lively and quite refreshing with a dry finish. A ROCKING BREW that is not overpowering like some other guezes. Surprisingly "balanced" and even Tomme dug it! Thanks again John!!

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle with Craig, Stella, Fin, Loz and Traci, at the "What’s This Label Supposed To Be Anyway?" tasting. Thanks for sharing this one Fin!
Beautiful warm orange pour, nice white layer of perfectly uniform bubbles. Wheaty fresh grape aroma, dry sea air, green apricots. Huge aroma volume, just reaches out of the glass and tickles the nose. Dry barn board musk, orange zest. Peppery lemon sorbet flavor, spice and ocean. Gloriously good stuff.

Sep 28, 2008 Tasting with Casey, Traci, Craig, Stella and Loz 27-09-08 this bottle brought along by Fin (cheers to myself) Pours very hazy light amber. The nose and mouth have plenty of prickly apricot, sour nectarine, and peach skin. This incredible sour fruitiness just ripples around the mouth forever bouyed by a lovely soft cabonation. Some damp flour, wheat (picked up by Casey) the edges are softened sightly which makes this so much more palatable to me than some of the very, very sour Gueze. Really marvellous beer.

Sep 22, 2008 Had this on several occasions. Vibrant golden pour with a nice white head. Aroma is very complex and awesome. Too much going on to describe...flavor is the same. Yeasy, sour, funky, fruity and light spice. Awesome body and drinkability.

Sep 14, 2008 Huge thanks to Skyview for acquiring and sharing this gem. Opaque gold color and a tall white head. Heavily carbonated. Powerful aromas of yeast, barnyard horseblanket. Wild yeast. Earthy, dry, some cheese, very mild hops. Quite sour. Full palate and very full flavor. Probably one of the best beers ever made. One of my few 5.0 ratings. It is well deserved.
