Clear, nearly still gold body with a rich, creamy and frothy white head. Smells very acidic and mineral-like, with apple, orange, brett, lemon, coriander, pear, oak, and rubbing alcohol notes. The flavor is very oak-y and spicy, with super strong lemon notes throughout. Hints of orange, apple, clementine, nectarine, slat and dill. The finish is bright and fruity, clean and crisp. This is much different than most Gueuze beers, and in a good way. This is insight into the new world of wild yeast brewing. Semi-sweet, but still bretty and dry. Damn good.

[bottle] Potent aroma, very funky and acidic. Pours hazy yellow with a very quickly diminishing white head. Flavors are very acidic and almost bitter. Loads of sour bacteria. Very complex finish...lingers on for quite a while. Saturating.

A hazy golden colored beer, with a small beige head, with big bubbles. It disappears quickly. The aroma is very sour and complex. A bit vineger. Spicey tones, grapes and melon. The taste of strong sour apple. It is dry with touches of wood. The after taste is nice sour, with a bitter finish.

Aroma is tart Granny Smith, cherry skin, lemon and funk. Appearance is golden orange and is truly a headless horseman. Flavor is extremely soured; grapefruit, orange peel, and lemon zest. Scratches the back of the throat. Palate seems a bit thin.

Bottle dated Nov. 30, 2005 from Novare Res, Portland, ME, sampled on 6/6/08. Cloudy gold body, little head. A burnt aroma, toasted pumpkin seeds, light funk, and dust. Flavor has a noticeable bitterness of citrus rind, a subdued sour note creates a twinge in the back of the cheeks. A touch of woodiness. Light on the palate.

2005 vintage. Nice peach color pour with a nice white head. Aroma of sour fruit. Nice refreshing taste and light body. Flavor of sour fruit, maybe peach. Very well balanced and tasty. Def in my top ten.
