Commercial Description:
This is a beer that will make you rethink your definition of beer. It doesn’t taste like any beer you’ve ever had, yet it doesn’t taste like anything else either. Pushing the limits of brewing is what makes this job so much fun. Malted barley, wild yeast, hand picked Muscat Grapes, and French oak wine barrels are just a few of the things that went into crafting this beer. Breathe deep, take a long sip, and enjoy the creation in your hand.

750ml bottle, thanks to theisti. Powerful aroma, hugely sour and citric, some really funky stuff going on here, notes of leather, straw, lemon, this is just a yeast funkhouse, although notes of light, candyish sugar, dried flowers, dill leaf and catnip appear as well. Cloudy pale yellow color, head is large-bubbled and sparse. Flavor is massively tart and sour, puckering and acidic from start to finish with some light wheat flavor, lemony citrus, persistent herbal hop tones, oak, and a nice, mild bitterness throughout. Light body, mildly effervescent, smooth and thin on the palate. Nice sour!
Update: sampled on draft a few times at GABF 2009. Best beer of the night. Bumping the rating up a few notches!

Bottle. Golden cloudy colour with a huge head. Aroma of vanilla, oak and little sourness. Nice little sour flavour of citrus and lime, ends up quite sweet and very light.

C-bus #9. Thanks to my man Bruno for breaking this out. Lightly sour aroma with hints of citrus (lemon) and some hints of oak. Hazy lemon in color with a small head. The palate was perfect for the style--not too thin and perfectly carbonated. The taste is wonderfully, lightly tart with lemon flavors, some oak accents, and just a hint of yeast. Very easy to drink, and very enjoyable flavor.

Bottle shared by theisti at his tasting 10/12. Pours the color of a hazy grapefruit juice with a thin white head. The aroma is "dry", sour, citric and tart. Light to medium-bodied and slick, the mouthfeel becomes tongue wickingly dry and tart at the swallow. The flavor is super-tart, sour citrus and is slightly herbal with a clean, dry finish. Delicious.
