Jul 22, 2009 On tap at Stone Sour Fest 09. Hazy yellow pour. Earthy malts, funky barnyard notes, lemon zest, wood, grass, and acidic sourness. A good sour, dry.

Jul 20, 2009 Lucky seventh rating. Tap at Stone Sour 09. Smells like a creamy mustard with light grassy/celery notes and briney tartness - in other words, smells like potato salad. Color is a plain golden with moderate white head - fluffy. Flavor is as good as US geuezes get - no mold or funk but a great diverse sourness that covers wood, grass, and even hugely unripe fruit rind. Could have used more balance, but I liked it.

Jul 19, 2009 Tap at 2009 Stone Sour Fest. Hazy golden brown. Super sour, tart Brett, bready, barnyard, light vinegar, a little feety, dry white wine. Could not figure out if this is really good or really bad.

May 16, 2009 On tap at San Diego brewer’s guild festival: This was the first beer I went after and I was surprised to see the Ballast Point booth empty especially since it was the VIP session. Extremely sour and tart with a crushed black berry/ blue berry taste along with a squeeze of lemon. This was a true delight to have tasted first before everyone else and made the VIP cover charge worth it.

Nov 20, 2008 on tap at the SD Brewers Guild Fest.
I had two tasters and went back for a third but the keg had already blown. This was all from memory. Appearance was golden hay colored, slightly hazy with a small white head. Aroma is sour, tart, lemony, funk (burnt rubber/hair). Flavor is amazing. Sour, tart fruit, lemon, unripe plums and apricots, and the funkiness of burnt rubber/hair. The best domestic gueuze I’ve tasted. Palate is perfect for a gueuze, carbonation is spot on. Overall, I love sours and could drink this beer alone all night. My girlfriend had about four of these and wanted more but they ran out. Great job BP, now just bottle it!
