May 18, 2009 Firkin pour @ Brouwer’s Sour Fest 2009. Soft yellow cloudy appearance with perfect fine-bubbled white carbonation, thick, could last for hours. Delicate nose of dried hops and perfume-laden (soft) brettanomyces. Pillowy and soft texture, syrupy and frothy, lovely. Hoppy in the vein of Belgian pale ale/IPA (think XX Bitter/Taras Boulba). Dried hop cones, slightly spicy Belgian yeast, a mild/mellow funkiness that tastes like a cloudy spring sky. Lovely.

May 17, 2009 On tap for SBW Sour Fest; one of 16 tried. Loved the smell, with slight tartiness, fresh grass, citrus and green apple. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn’t match the taste. Much more mild, with bitter peppery hops and a grassy finish.

May 15, 2009 tap at the maproom...pours a semi-hazy golden orange brown pour with a fluffy milky white head... aroma of lemon, orange, and citrus notes accented by a decent degree of brett undertones... sweet citrusy lemon rinds, somewhat bready upfront. semi-sweet through the middle with subtle brett notes and then finishes off with a light to mild hoppy imprint. crisp carbonation that mellow. medium to full mouthfeel. decent flavor i thought. glad to have not paid for a bottle but i would have this again.

May 15, 2009 tasting sample at grape & gourmet. pours a clear, golden amber with a fluffy, white head and solid lacing. aroma was excellent with a big, bretty yeast presence, light citrus, tart red fruit, and floral hops. flavor was very good with spicy, floral hops, yeast, hints of nutmeg, orange and lemon zest with a dry, crisp finish. palate was bright and refreshing with high carbonation. overall, a very solid sour but not sure it’s worth the $22 price tag.

May 13, 2009 On tap @ the Map Room; pours a slightly hazy dull golden/yellow w/ a creamy white head reminiscent of sea foam; aroma is dominated by the Brettanomyces funkiness, earthy tones, citrus and yeast; flavor is citrussy w/ a little nuttiness, leather and light malts w/ more Brettanomyces; medium bodied, finishing slightly tart and dry. Pleasurable.
