Cloudy golden with white lasting head. Strong tart aroma of barnyard, horses, leather and wood. Sour flavour and sour long dry finish.

Pours out a hazy gold. Smells nice. Taste is tart and a little bit funky. Lots of acid. Nice sour finish. Crisp and dry.

2003 - Beautiful clear deep golden body with a huge lasting white head; Huge very beautiful nose, very settled, balanced with a farm like attitude; Super body that quickly turns balanced warm, tartic and malic acid; Slightly harsh finish with lots of tartic acid and tons of deep aromas. This has seriously settled from 5 years of age, become super smooth, still with lots of acid bite much more tartic then when young.

Hazy peach color with a thin white head. Citrusy lemon aroma with woody oakiness. Almost like lemonade. Very sour with orange and lemon flavors. A touch of sweetness. The sourness is at the perfect level for me. Very good.

750ml from the Wine Specialist, D.C. 2006 bottle, opened and had some strange dark brown ooze on the cork. Hmmm. Drinking it anyways, of course. Pale orange color with nice champagne-like carbonation in there. Lovely woody, musty nose is quite promising. Initial taste was a touch surprising, as there were salty notes, almost like soy. But the beer settled down well and the intense citric qualities (white grapefruit in particular) came on strong. Best thing about this beer is the mouth-puckering finish.

Tasted at the brewery following our tour. This is a treat, very dry and sour. Citrusy, earthy, lightly malty. Sour, dry and great. Carbonation is nice and keeps it fresh.

375ml bottle with a 2005 bottling date on cork. Dark golden with a tight white head. Great aroma is toasted wood, dandelions, with cheesy barnyard. Very tart tongue numbing mouthfeel. Medium body. Good flavors of lemon, dry wood, with a wheat bread maltiness. A nice gueze if not very complex.
