The_Captain (331), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 7, 2008 Pint bottle - Poured a hazy light ice tea color with little head. Citrus on the nose and a sour bitterness on the pallet. Yeast and hops with a grassy sourness that makes me want to kick this Jezebel out the door. Not a Premium Bitter for me!
jimhilt (1427), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Sep 10, 2008 Pours a three finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer, leaving a good lace. Hazy amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Apple cider nose. Flavor is sour apple cider without the expected hops from a bitter, one has to question if this bottle has gone bad but after reading other reviews apparently it hasn’t, even though it hasn’t been brewed since 2006. $4.49 for a 500ml bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT. moseslikesbeer (171), conestoga, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 7, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of flowers and grass. hazy red color with a yellowish head. taste was mostly sweet and earthy.little bit of orange peel and lemon. Also a bit sour. Thought this was odd for the style but I liked it non the less. Cruzan59 (150), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 18, 2008 1pt+ bottle from 6-Pack And Subs, Lancaster, PA...pours cloudy amber color, no head...faint mustly floral aroma, taste was sour, some citrus notes, tart, fizzy...first few sips were pretty good, kind of refreshing, but the whole bottle was a bit much...can’t say I liked it too much. bhensonb (3010), Woodland, California, USA Nov 24, 2007 Half liter bottle (bottle conditioned!). Slightly sour citric aroma. A belgian? Less than clear amber tinged gold color with a decent white head. Medium body with fizzy carbonation - but soft carbonation. It’s a bit lactic. Earthy. Must be interesting hop, cause there’s a fair amount of bitter. The sour smooths into the finish. It’s now that the fruity ESB comes forth to balance against some roasted malt. But such a strange journey to get there. As consumption continues, the sour works out, and becomes a background thing. Wicked it is.
