Oct 12, 2009 Sampled on tap at Max’s in Baltimore. Pours a hazy, translucent straw yellow with a frothy, active white head. A high level of carbonation is evident. Aroma is mostly ripe fruits, pears, apples, a touch of hay and some light brett floating around. Flavor is nice, citrus, lemon rind, orange, hay, grass, slight pepper zing, mild brett, some spice. Finish is dry. I was expecting a lot more. If you’re going to use brett than make it bretty. I suppose it could age well, but I feel like this might be lacking a bit in terms of flavor.

Oct 12, 2009 Draft – Max’s. Cloudy gold, creamy white head. Apple cinnamon and grassy apricot- pear aromas ride light undercurrents of bretty funk and yeast. Soft crisp fruity barnyard flavors balance on a touch of peppered honey, straw, and cheese. Quite complex as it nears room temp. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, fruity finish. Certainly worthy of your attention….

Oct 10, 2009 GABF 2009. Pours clear light yellow with an average, frothy white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw, meal), light hop (flowers, herbs), average yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of banana, clove, and wine. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a chalky finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. Some brettanomyces aroma.

Sourness is complemented by a slight sweetness. Feel is medium body and a tingle moderate to low carbonation. Finish is of honey. I like this beer. I really like this beer.

Oct 2, 2009 Pours a cloudy light orange with a large white head. The brettanomyces is quite apparent in the aroma, giving off a pleasant tart aroma on top of light fruit and cream. Flavor is good, but nothing new: Slightly sour with nice creaminess again, apricot, banana, clove. Medium viscosity, average mouthfeel. There’s something intangible here that has me bumping it up a couple of notches in the overall impression score; maybe it’s just its overall quality - very high all around. Overall, very good.

Oct 1, 2009 This bubbly golden ale poured with a generous white head and a fruity aroma. There is a hearty caramel malt flavor that is not as fruity as the aroma would indicate and a pleasant spicy finish.

Sep 29, 2009 draft @ Brouwer’s Sour fest - via a firkin I guess; orange, faint haze and fluffy white head; yummy aromas of pears, light syrup, spice and honey; texture is soft and flavor profile subtle; honey, grassy malts and spicy sweetness; my type of brew with the overall softness
