Oct 21, 2008 GABF 08: Pretty clear golden color with a bubbly head. Sour, funky nose of white wine, fermenting plums and nectarines and just a fresh zesty aura. Tame fruity flavors with a somewhat grainy presence. Not remarkably sour yet just so in a fruity type of way.

Oct 13, 2008 Here is another winner that Adrian came up with. Label looks like the cover of a fantasy novel. Aroma of apple and grapes. Taste is sour with peppery hops. This has a funky, earthy, homemade vibe - off the beaten track and worth a visit. If you have snobby friends, you could impress them by breaking out a bottle of this - and I don’t mean that as an insult to the beer.

Oct 11, 2008 Pours a cloudy, dark orange. Massive off-white head. Sour smelling, sour tasting. Really complex ale... sweet at first, then the spice hits. Coriander, dandelion, bitter greens and hops to finish. Fantastic!

Oct 6, 2008 Lovely orange coppery pour with tinted head. Nice citrus and wood aroma. Taste starts boldly with a big blast of citrus, grass, and funk. The finish is however austere -- too dry for my likes -- with citrus (grapefruit) musty socks and a touch of phenol. Very reminiscent of Orval, which I love. Maybe I am being too harsh in trying to make this comparison, as it is just not there. Needs more body. Still, a good try. Caged bottle.

Oct 1, 2008 750ml bottle (didn’t write down the batch number) from WLV.... medium yellow orange pourwith a substantial slightly off-white head..... aroma of lightly spiced tart citrus fruit. a little musty..... flavors of citrus (lemons mostly with some orange) paired well with light spices. not overly tart but had enough to quench the craving. earthy and dry finish. good carbonation and semi-lively mouthfeel....pretty darn close to a 4 for me

Sep 20, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours a gusher! Look out! Color is orange with a huge, fluffy white head. Nose is of yeast, spices and funk. Taste is of apple, spices, herbs and grass. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thin, tart and dry with super carbonation. Very drinkable. polished this one off myself.

Sep 3, 2008 Off amber couldy look with an everlasting thick foamy beige colored head. Good lacing. Smell is spices, cooriandor, tartness, and fruit. Taste is a touch of bitterness, some spices, and tartness. Good beer.

Aug 28, 2008 Capped 750. I’m not sure of the vintage, but I know I have been cellaring this for about 2 years. I had reason to celebrate a little tonight, so I figured why not break this baby out? I was not disappointed... lightly hazed orange amber with a massive off white head that descended rockily. Thick, sticky lace. Orange scents, light tropical fruit and just a bit of barnyardy. Traces of dust and cinnamon. Rather light bodied, orange zest and spicy coriander, rather dry and herbal. Some woodiness emerges as it warms and breathes, some white peppery notes. Dry, mildly bitter herbal finish. Thanks, JP - and here’s to me and my new position!
