This is a bottle of the SURLY BIRD. Aroma is bad, its like a sour diaper with some very faint fruit tones. Color is a pale hazy gold with good carbonation and a loose white head. Taste is as bad as the aroma. It starts with a medium body that goes down sharp. Finish is beyond bad its a sour plastic taste and a strong flavor that can only be described as dirty baby diaper. Oh my god this sucks, I have no idea why this beer has gotten this high of a rating.

Pours a great golden with a small, staying, creamy, white head. Aroma is lightly funky, malt, brett, oranges and lemons. Super, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is pleasantly tart, citric, some yeast, vanilla and coriander. Very nice.

Sep 29, 2008 Bottle: Pours an effervescent golden with a thin white head. Nice aroma- sweet and funky simultaneously. Some leather, cinnamon, vanilla yogurt, apple crisp and golden raspberries. Has lively carbonation with a sweet and spicy flavor. Caramelized/baked apple, mild cinnamon, earthy/herbal notes of honey suckle, touch of butterscotch, and light peppery alcohol. Towards the finish is a subtle leather touch. A pretty nice Belgian Ale, unique.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle sampled on 09/26/08 at Night of the Funk (labeled as Reinaaert). Pours a cloudy gold with a white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, and funk. Flavor is somewhat indescript. Some funky melon, milk cheese, and other sweet fruits. Decent beer.

<br />Aroma - Wonderful fruity aroma, yeast notes with just a hint of funkiness, some spice in the background<br />
<br />Appearance - Light, hazy gold with a medium white head that has excellent staying power and leaves a sheeting, ropy lace well into the glass<br />
<br />Flavor - The fleeting fruity sweetness gives way to a pleasing acidity and sourness that brings to mind a green, tart apple. Some bitterness at the finish adds to the dryness.<br />
<br />Palate - Light to medium body and a very healthy effervescence that serves to cleanse and dry the palate. The light, dry mouthfeel is refreshing.<br />
<br />Overall - Very nice, nothing overstated, but certainly with enough complexity to be interesting. Very drinkable, and the alcohol never shows itself as a significant factor.
