Cavie (1299), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Nov 8, 2009 Bottle courtesy of bu11zeye. Hazy golden pour. Sour notes on the nose. Some yeast and Belgian fruit. Lightly hopped. Taste is light tart. Tingles on the tongue but not soured. Finishes a little tart and bitter. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Nov 6, 2009 bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, golden with nice foam, waxy sour fruit aromas, cherries, light grains, tropical fruits, nice beer BMan1113VR (2752), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a hazy yellow body and a fading white head. Aroma has a bit of must, horse-blanket, dryness, spices, pear and apple. Taste is light brett, dry apple, dried fruits and wine. Light bubbles and a creamy mouthfeel. Low residual sweetness. With the brett in the bottle I sampled, it seems more like a strong Orval clone than a triple to me. Ughsmash (3978), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Sep 23, 2009 Bomber. Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a short cap of white head. The aroma picked up sour lemon zest and oaky notes with lesser green vinous character.. honeyed pale malt beneath.. warm and bright overall impression. The flavor opened with tart lemon, white pepper, and increasing oak that led pale malts and a pinch of honey to the middle.. vanilla, cloves, and banana were laced throughout.. finished like it started, but with more residual sugars than anticipated.. not bad, but far from great for the style. Medium-plus bodied and rather thick on the palate.. low-ish carbonation.. warm finish.. near-refreshing, but too thick in the end. LooseCannon (914), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Sep 4, 2009 Draft, pours cloudy golden in color with thin white head. Aroma yeasty and citrus. Taste bready, yeasty, lemon and sweet with dry finish. Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Aug 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a copper body with a white head. Sweet chewy fruit character with a lighter vanilla and oak. Trace citrus with a honey fruity cane sugar warming. Nice brew. smith4498 (816), Miami, Florida, USA Aug 18, 2009 Pours dark golden color with white head. Belgian yeast and spices in the aroma and flavor. Some fruitiness. Oak is barely noticeable. Medium body with moderate carbonation.
