| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 15, 2008 750 mL bottle from mcbackus in the perfect 10 3.0 swap. Thanks Matt! Pours a murky reddish brown color with a huge head, moderate retention and great lacing. Slightly funky aroma with soft citrus, cheese and berry notes. Smooth taste of citrus, herbs, berry. Nice bitter finish. Medium body. Ughsmash (4062), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2008 750mL bottle, Batch 267,268. Poured brilliant garnety-amber with a creamy, well-retained cap of eggshell head. The aroma was dry, spicy, and musty with a healthy dose of Brett.. lemon zest rolled in ever-so-slightly afterward and paired well with the dated wood and earthy notes.. balance was spot on. The flavor did not dissapoint.. tangy lemon zest was laced throughout and ended in a mighty fine refreshing finish.. peppery spices and old dusty farmhouse were also found at multiple points.. complementary sourdough bready sweetness supporting it all. Lighter-bodied and lively on the palate with plenty of carbonation.. the added hoppage (from Bam) had a bit of floral influence and worked alright (though I still prefer Bam).. excellent stuff! zebracakes (1216), Washington DC, USA

Aroma is funky, musty, tart, and woodsy. Flavor is tangy, tart, woody, some peat (hops), and bitterness that lingers on the tongue. SuzyGreenberg (1410), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 11, 2008 750 ml bottle - thanks to colin for this; light gold with thin white head; aromas of apples, raw yeast and orange peels; woody and slightly sour (of course); green apples dominate; dry and bitter with some barnyard funk Marsiblursi (1652), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 10, 2008 Updated: Oct 11, 2008(Bottle) Pours glowing orange amber to grayish brown with a creamy off-white head. The aroma holds soft and well-balanced notes of funky horse blanket/barnyard-ish Brett, toasted bread/dry, cracker-like malt and grassy/herbal/woody/hay-ish hops. A great deal of tart, sourish, green apple cider and lemon/lime/orange peel citrus is also notable. Very dry on the nose. The flavour is toasted malty, barnyard-ish yeasty, citric/apple-ish fruity and grassy, woody and herbal hoppy. Light, light sweet. The dryness and the noble hoppiness is fantastic but the mouthfeel is too watery to be ass kicking. Medium carbonated. Light to medium bodied. Rciesla (3770), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
