A Mes rate:
As barnyardy as they come in the nose. All straw and hay and grass. Dusty, old and musty. Barnyard is exactly what it is. Wonderful cloudy orange appearance. No head at all until some big soapy bubbles for the final top up. Fantastic flavour. Just as you would expect. A typical gueuze but with a touch more lemon than usual. Pretty much all the tarty and sour character comes through at the fnish. In fact it is almost too much just for an instant then it mellows just as quick to something much more enjoyable but sadly just a little sticky. Great beer.

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle shared by lithy at the Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Pours a dark yellow with a fizzy, off-white head that leaves light lace. Musty, earthy aroma with some spices. Nice sour that brings out that white grapes, apple, and hay flavor. Medium body. Sour throughout, but not overwhelming. Dry but expected. Very enjoyable.

Oct 12, 2008 Suttree’s 2008 Pre-Brewer’s Jam Tasting. Sample from a bottle shared by me. Bottled dated 02 Apr 2001. Pours a clear straw yellow with two healthy fingers of large bubbled just off-white head that holds its full body well as long as it isn’t disturbed. Aged oaky tartness in the aroma dusty and powerful acidity. The body is smooth with almost corky barnyard tastes and more fantastic acidity. Not wincingly sour, just potent and balanced acidity. Dry but lasting finish holds on to the back of the tongue nicely.

Oct 12, 2008 Updated: Oct 13, 2008A lot of flavors combined into a glass full of awesomeness. All the terms used to describe this stuff - metal, horse blanket, barnyard, dust, battery acid - don’t sound appetizing, but they combine to create a winner.

Oct 4, 2008 Denne er 99 udgaven. Uklar med et lille hvidt skum. Grapefrugt, stikkelsbær, eddike, dejlig sur og stikker lidt på tungen. Intet kulsyre. Dejlig og lækker.

Sep 29, 2008 Sample at J Gumbos Aug 2008 Indy tasting - Didn’t see the age, but was a 375ml so probably newer. Aroma is funky, horse blanket, oak and a touch of spice. I could keep my nose in there all day. Flavor starts off in the barn with hay, straw and horse followed by some sour grapes and grapefruit. Spice from the yeast shows up as well. Palate is tart and dry as well as tart and dry. Very nice stuff that I need to get a bottle for myself.
