Jul 12, 2008 Pour is slightly hazed but more clear golden yellow with a dense white head...smell is leathery and lightly spiced...taste is lightly fruity and sweet at first, but turning fairly dry and leathery...not super dry as there is a lot of residual sweetmess...

Jul 10, 2008 Updated: Jul 11, 2008Lightly hazed light golden liquid. Tall lasting off-white head. Sweet somewhat syrupy scent with a definite brett sidebar. Fruits of apricot, pears and figs. Some notes of malt and horseblanket. Big hit of malt in the front. Light fruit in the background. Hints of alcohol bounce about. I like the potential in this one, but right now it is a bit syrupy and sweet. As a self professed malthead I like the change of pace from the overly hopped brews. Some hints of spice in the finish and linger. Palate is a bit sticky, but I can tolerate that with the malt at this time. I look forward to trying this again, in a year or three.

Jul 10, 2008 Bomber. Poured clear brighter golden with a short-lived, looser cap of white head. The aroma picked up a really odd blend of spices (some pepper, but I couldn’t place everything else).. strawberry and rhubarb jam behind with a floral component that built with warmth.. footy funk built with warmth, but didn’t really help. The flavor had sticky toffee and fig sweetness caked with white pepper, nutmeg, and coriander.. tart, spicy funkage at the back that left thick spices. Medium-bodied with quite active carbonation on the palate.. there were some decent components in here, but it certainly didn’t come together well.

Jul 10, 2008 Very funky aroma. Lots of barnyard and cheese here. Fruity esters show up more as the beer warms.
Minimal head with a clear, light amber body.
Slightly sour taste with a sweet, somewhat fruity malt body. The smell I enjoyed, but the taste is a letdown. Not very complex, not nearly as funky as the smell and just not that interesting.
Medium body with relatively low carbonation.
Overall, meh. Smell was great in the funk department. Taste, kind of boring. We’ll see how this one ages.

Jul 8, 2008 Aroma is slightly citrus with a hint of hops and urinal cake. Appears to be a traditional belgian but is more like a ceizen in makeup. Too thin on the palate and flavor is incredibly disappointing. Aftertaste of feet and piss. ew.

Jul 8, 2008 The aroma is funky that is like a urinal cake with flowers, yeast, and malt. The appearance is golden with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall this is not a very good beer for an avery.
