22 oz bottle, sampled July 2009: hazy straw, a generous off white cream diminishes into a thin film, eventually migrating to the edges of the glass. Sweet, bretty aroma with a strong melon component. Peppery bite right off the bat, softened by honeydew sweetness and a yeasty cushion. Complex and subtle while being assertive and straight forward...the yeast and melon and pepper flavours come and go as they please interspersing with a flowery funk and grassy sweetness. At the same time the raw dough is incredibly strong, coating the throat and overcoming the sweetness at times. One of the rare beers that never tastes the same twice and this is only a single bottle...most sips are wonderful, some overpowering. A real tribute to a great brewery. Nice work guys.

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark golden with a thin white head, good lacing. Aroma is sour yeast and sweet malts. Notes of dark fruit, pepper, fig, and some other spices stand out. On the palate, it is surprisingly chewy. The flavor brings out a bit of a banana character. It finshes dry and a bit sour. This beer was very interesting to say the least. It has almost a wine type flavor and is pretty complex. With that said, I am not a huge fan.
