375ml Bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a bubbly white head that quickly shrinks to a ring around the top. Aroma is earthy and yeasty and also has notes of apple, lemon and apricot. Flavour is quite sour and has a strong suggestion of citric acid but is otherwise very similar to the aroma. Crisp, carbonated, refreshing mouthfeel with a lingering sour finish, this is a great beer and, in my limited experience, a good example of the style.

Bottle. Golden orange colour with a thin white head. Fruity and acidic aroma. The flavour is very sour, vinegar and citric fruits. Dry and medium-bodied. Very refreshing brew.

Pours a thin, lasting ring of white head with a golden, slightly hazy head. Funky, fruity, floral, acidic aroma. Juicy, sour, biting flavor. Dry, hint of sour on the finish.

Draught at Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki, Finland. Clear pale orange/golden colour with tiny white head. Sour fruity aroma with some vinegar. Flavour is extremely sour with some cidery side and fermented fruits. Excellent but not for every day.

This is definately a polarising style. I enjoyed it, but can’t imagine drinking it regularly. The wild yeast is just so funky and over the top, it turns an average 5% ale in to a taste experiment. Crazy, dry and brimming with ecetricity. Very nice, just not something that I would personally seach out again at this point in time. Quite pricey too.

375 ml Bottle. Lovely clear amber color with a medium, bubbly head, which lasted longer than expected. Aroma of citrus, lemon, a bit of barnyard, some lactic aspect, Very dry and quite sour. Creamy, lemony, but crisp and clean. Very nice. Fruitiness is subdued compared to the dusty dryness, though it got a bit more estery after the yeast was added. A bit of funk, and a long bitter finish containing a bit of lemon peel. Very straightforward gauze, dry as a bone, perfect mouthfeel, amazing with some ripe cheese and other foods. Perfectly clean and crisp.

2008 big bottle pours clear dull gold with fair layer of off white head. Great typical cheesy funky guezey goodness. Tart semi-dry finish. Exactly what I would want from this style.
