| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2009 This poured a really light amber color with a white head. Aroma was funk, sour notes, spices and alcohol. Flavor was like a weak saison with a little sourness, seemed like a few different style attempts that just didnt go toegether very well. Decent but not great by any means. shrubber85 (2885), Wallhalben, Germany

Medium thin body with average carbonation and a chalky finish. Moderate sweetness with quite a kick of acidity in there, too. Lactic sourness, woody and a bit rubbery. Tinge of sour milk.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2009 It poured a hazy, dirty golden liquid with a small foam that left no lacing. It did however leave a ton of yeast floating around in the glass. It smelled of yeast and bread. It had a smooth mouthfeel and a taste of yeast, bread, sweet, fruit and candy. Unfortunately a bit watery. A decent beer but not really worth the high price.
