Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a small fast disappearing white head. Has a fruity tart citrus and grapefruit aroma. Fruity malty tart funky grapefruit flavor. Has a fruity tart finish with hints of grapefruit.

Bottle from the Hopduvel: Nice golden colour, Flavour was citrus and not too sour. The finish was dry and asking for another sip. Maybe a bit young though

0.75 l bottle at PBF. Slightly hazy deep golden color. Dry, acidic, grapefruity and lemony aroma. Dry and sharply acidic flavor with lemon and grapefruit. Very tasty, acidity could be softer though.

Sampled from a 750 ml green bottle this beer poured a cloudy yellow-golden color with a huge white head. The aroma was tangy, tart and bitter with a lemony presence. The flavor was tart, dry, lemony and had a light Sweettart candy presence. The finish was long, dry and tart. Ok.

this poured a sparkling yellow color with a white head. Aroma was vinegar, lots of funk, and lemon citrus. Flavor wasnt much funk at all just extrene sourness, lemon and peaches and just more sour. Almost hard to drink but great at the same time.

Had this one at the RB Pittsburgh tasting. Almost unfair that this one went last (as far as ratable beers go anyway) as it was fantastic. Great candy scent over good funk. Nice thick head on the pour over a suspiciously benign liquid. Taste is good and somewhere I think the style belongs, sweet, but not getting into Lindemans trap. Overall a fantastic representation of the style, and it should be as you can see some of it’s greatest brewers collaborating on this great blend.

oro buona schiuma grossolana piuttosto persitente per il genere note fruttate uva leggero legnoso un tocco citrico in bocca ritorna aspra corpo medio un tocco citrico buona acidità ma non abbondante finale leggero di luppoo e citrico

Big thanks goes out to Kevin MrChopin for this special brew! Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 7/9/2009 Pittsburgh RB tasting extravaganza (PGHRBEXT) at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever I see a spread of bottles like I did there. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we served! For example, how about this beer; Horal bottle #58! Smell is quite like tart candy with a funky farmy background. Good initial taste sensations, wew, simply very tasty. Big foamy pour and a slight haze on an otherwise pale lager appearance. Lacks the typical funk but is just plain fun on the tastebuds. Very nice tingly palate. One fine enjoyable brew. Sour, tart and easy. Some mild bitterness but nothing detracting. Very excellent beer tasting experience. Love those sour brews, my favorite! Wish I had more of this stuff!
