| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Draft: Poured a orange amber color with not much head. The aroma was spices, fruit, banana, and a touch of yeast. The flavor was great, sweet and easy to drink. It had a fruity yeasty taste. I’d love to try this after letting the funk take over a bit more. Overall, a decent brew. robertjm (418), El Cerrito, California, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Tall white soapy head that seems to last quite some time. Had a really odd scent when I first opened it. I hadn’t realized it was a Belgian Very bandaid-y when poured into a glass, which carries through to the flavor. Honestly, this stuff is pretty nasty. I’ve learned to appreciate the unique properties of the wild side in Belgian beers (brett, pedo, etc.), but I’m not liking this one at all. I’m thinking the hibiscus flowers and white pepper are what’s killing this one for me. Just way too many unique flavors thrown into a blender to see what will happen. The yeast is very flocculant as it poured extremely clear. So much that I thought it was filtered. However, when checking the bottom of the bottle there’s lots of sediment. michael-pollack (2755), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

Tastes of alcohol, spices, coriander, bubblegum, Brett, and pepper. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, spiced Brett finish. Some alcohol burn.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Bottle from South Bay Drugs and Liquor. There is a delicate nose of light spices and smell of Belgian yeast with true authenticity. Appears as a glowing straw blonde with a thin layer of fine heading. The flavor is heavily spiced with signs of pepper and coriander but also possesses a soapy flavor that rubs me the wrong way. There are some pleasant points in the drink of this beer but I do find some flaws in the initial aftertaste that ruin this from being a great anniversary offering. kiefdog (1651), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Updated: Jul 20, 200850cl bottle from Kingdom Liquors. Pours a orange-golden color with a one finger white head. Reasonable head retention. Aroma is unique: Smells of spice (especially pepper), wet dog, over-ripe citrus. Flavor is also unique: hints of straw, wet hay, warm yogurt, nutmeg, spice. Light to medium-bodied with a slightly citrusy-watery finish. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Bottle courtesy Gillard. Pours a hazy golden with a small white head. The aroma is reminiscent of a perm salon mixed with a leather shop that has a lot of sweet tarts. This is one of the strangest beers I have ever smelled. The taste is the same as the aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. This beer is strange. I’m going to have to cellar this one to see if it improves with age. AmEricanbrew (2005), Almost, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Clear dark gold with a wispy white head. Seriously strong cheesy, moldy barnyard piss aroma reminds me of the breeze from the dairy farm i once lived across the river from in Snoqualmie, Wa. Medium body and softly carbonated. Main flavors are earthy, dusty pale malts with cheesy funk, and a taste of of citrusy lemon which adds some tartness. The biggest barnyard aroma i’ve come across in a long time. Good stuff !
