May 6, 2008 75cl bottle, quite fresh one. Hazy orangey yellow, lacing pale head. Exotic fruity hops on the nose, pineapple and tutti frutti bubblegum. Flavor is strongly hopped, exotic fruits, slightly grainy wheat malts. Flowery and chalky, very bitter finish. Medium bodied, extremely smoothly carbonated palate. I’m loving it.

May 3, 2008 750 ml bottle, best by 2008. Fully aged, this loses nothing of the bite described by other raters. Pours a bright gold in color with a fluffy white head. Clean smell of light belgian malts, accented by hop bitterness. Tasting bring sharp hops right to the fore, mostly German type with a good dose of grapefruit on the side. Brett character is very light, just adding to a good dryness and a more tickly carbonation from bottle conditioning. Actually kicks off my allergies; oh how I suffer for may passions. Great Belgian pils style malts with an American-level hop nose and that slight bit of extra sugar, what’s not to love. Packaging in brown bottle with a paper wrapper makes it that much easier to cellar well.

Apr 14, 2008 Beer tasting at Three Cellars Milwaukee. I like this very much. Dry with an attitude. Little bitter finish that got the back of my tongue.

Apr 10, 2008 Fresh and funky aroma, with hay and noble hops showing through. Also notes of brett.
The flavour is hoppy with very liberal amounts of the green gold all over. There is some hay and grass in it, just before the long complex bitter and dry end.
A very fine beer. Very refreshing!
