Feb 22, 2008 Poured into a pint glass, since I didn’t have a tulip on hand. Monstrous, rocky head that sticks around forever, both on top of the body and on the glass. The beer is a pale gold color and the head is eggshell.
Aroma is very gueuze-like. Tartness is the only note here, but it’s very appealing.
Taste is halfway between Girardin 1882 and Fantome Saison. The sourness is toned down, and there’s a touch of grassy hops in the finish.
A little overcarbonated, nice medium-light body, dry finish. Quite quaffable.

Feb 19, 2008 Cloudy gold with a huge foaming head which settles to a whipped cream topping. Dry, spicy earthy funk aroma. Medium body. Dustbowl dry flavors of grainy pale malts with an earthy yeast essence. Has a light hop bite to finish. Lots of flavor for 4.5%, a regular in my fridg. 397

Feb 18, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours pale hazy yellow with large fluffy white head, not much retention with a little lacing. Aroma is big brett, along with some citrus and spices. Taste has more brett in store, along with a bit of spiciness and kind of minerally. A bit prickly on the tongue and finishes yeasty and tart. Goes down very easy, I can see why people call this an every day beer.

Feb 17, 2008 Poured a cloudy orange-yellow with large white head that quickly dissipated and slight lacing. Aroma is a little spicy and much more sour than I expected - it definitely smells like a Jolly Pumpkin. Flavor yeasty, a little spicy, and slightly tart. Finish definitely shows the tartness and spice, and the flavor lingers for a while. I would definitely enjoy this beer again.
