Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 26, 2008 Flat, yellowish and dull-looking. Lemony nose with some spiderwebs. Sweet front with a tart finish. Clean lactic. Gripping late acidity, perhaps lacking a bit of complexity. JorisPPattyn (4282), Antwerpen, Belgium Apr 23, 2008 No head, orange beer with a metallic reflection. Very hard lambic nose, lactic, lemon, but also acetic, with some peeking phenols. Very lemony taste, some leathery Brett flavour. Tart as nothing else. Flat as a pancake - or an old lambic. Acidburn. In Belgium we would call this a harde lambic. But it is remarkably straightforward. BBB63 (3800), La Porte, Indiana, USA Aug 7, 2008 Thanks Jon for the bottle and served in my Karmeliet tulip: Murky golden hue with minimal lace nor head. The aroma has notes of acidic grapes and vinegar and a noticeable amount of barnyard brett . There is also some biscuit malts, mineral water, wintermint, dill pickle and a hint of pepper. Well it smells the part, how a bout the taste... Moderately aggressive acidity and tart fruits hits you up before a floral and herbal background comes about. Some oak and tannic action about the finish. Falls just short however of a true lambic on the palate, still yummy enough for me though. The mouth feel is soft and watery, very mouth watery due to the sour aspects. Someone please tell me why this is not listed as an unblended Lambic? I am sure it has a lot to do with two... removed for my protection and the fact I DO NOT GIVE A CRAP... it is that genre to me and that is all that matters. JohnC (1747), Mission Viejo, California, USA Apr 20, 2008 Bottle shared at Dr. Bill’s party. Thanks to whomever brought it.
Hazy yellow-ish pour, sour, with some citric notes. WeeHeavySD (1711), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Apr 15, 2008 1st Rating of this beer. Bought at the Brewery today. Pours orange with no head. Nose has a very sour character. Taste is tart, very tart and big in the mouth feel department. Sour with hints of red wine presumably from the barrel. Very interesting beer, lots of interesting characteristics in this really tasty sipper. Glad to have another great sour beer come out of So Cal.
