22 oz. bottle on 5/15/08. Pours out a faintly hazy gold with a foamy, yet sturdy, white head that lasts to the bottom of the glass and leaves some spider web lace. Earthy aroma with hints of lemon and spice. Medium body, lively effervescence, and a very dry and somewhat acidic palate. Flavor is decidedly bitter right up front, the light maltiness lurking behind, and a tangy, spicy finish.

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.
