22 oz Bomber. Pours a nice hazy golden color with a huge foamy eggshell colored head that leaves thick rings of lacing around the glass. Aroma is filled with vinegar, lemon, spice, funk, grass, and magnum 44 sharpie marker. Taste is very interesting spices kick you right in the mouth at first then fade nicely into a lemony flavor with some light hoppy bitterness. Mouthfeel is very dry almost like a white wine, heavy carbonation reminds you quickly though that you are in fact drinking a beer, and a nice medium body. Overall I enjoyed this beer and would recommend it for a nice relaxing summer outing at the park.

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.
