750 shared with my son Stuart. Opened very aggressive, with the foam running out of the bottle right out of the refrigerator. Bright gold, hazy, big head. Nose is funky, citrusy, lemony, hoppy. Taste is the same with heavy carbonation and a light body. Easy to drink and delicious.

unfiltered yet not foggy, yellow gold color, thin light lace, barnyard brett nose, acidic aroma, tart blonde body, brett, acid, funk, dry Orvalesque flavors in finish, well bitttered and very similar to Orval again in that aspect, wild flavors are well developed, not rip your face off sours but quite tart

22oz Bomber. Picked this one up for $11.99. as soon as i popped the cap this head began to flow from the top of the bottle. This continued for about 5 minutes. First pour was similar. Pours a hazy golden color with tons of head. Very interesting aroma, its sweet and funky. Taste carries the same funk, but also sweet and spicy. Some tart bitter flavor in the aftertaste. It is actually very delicious.

Cloudy golden in color with a large off-white head. Aroma is of light funk, wood, slightly tart, citrus and light booze. Taste is of wood, citrus, yeast, tart and booze.

Appearance: Pours a bright yellow gold with a retaining, yet small white head. Aroma: Sour citrus and berry notes and a tad bit of woodiness. Taste: A soury, woody flavor, some earthy, dirty hops, grape skin. Finishes oaky and citrusy. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and slightly puckering. Overall: This was highly enjoyable for me. It was a complex yet balanced sour.

Pours a deep golden color with a giant puffy head. Massive. head. Leaks out of the bottle gushing all over the place. Nose is sour and a bit funky, some horse blanket, citrus, spice, and pepper. Not bad. Taste is both sweet and sour, Lots of lemon citrus, honey, pepper, sourness, etc. Tasty as hell. Wish I had a bottle date, looks dusty and aged.

Bottle - Hmm...drank this one a little warm, so I’ll definitely have to re-rate. It’s a big gusher right when we open the bottle, so that’s probably the first bad sign. Pours yellow with a massive white head. The nose is great--it almost smells lke a gueuze, with dry citrus, lemongrass, and yeast. The taste just seemed to fall apart in its warmed-up state. The oak was really harsh, it was really boozy, and the citrus was way sour. There was no balance at all. The carb was messing with me too, and it just left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. Gonna have to get my hands on another bottle, because I’ve read a lot of good about this beer.
