Jul 8, 2008 Bottle from Maxbauer’s After Hours.
Pours a foggy yellow, like a lighthouse giving hope to seafarers from afar. Aroma is a blend of zesty lemon peel and lemon candy, with a touch of champagne (or is it sparkling wine). Flavor is a mouth-puckering blend of lemon, coriander, lemon, and lemon. Lively mouthfeel from a brew that simply won’t die on the tongue. A fantastic biere de garde; almost good enough to take my mind off my dog’s passing.
But there ain’t a beer in the world that can make me forget my Buster boy.

Jun 26, 2008 Bottle (750ml). Shared by rudolf with blankboy, biegaman and swoopjones. Thanks for the share, Rudy! Poured pale cloudy yellow with a small white head. Near-heavenly aroma of funky yeast, lemon, sour citrus up front with plenty of heavy fruit/sweet malt in behind (8+). The taste followed right on, but lighter than the aroma, sweeter, with honey more than balancing the lemon/citrus tartness, but still a long acidic finish. Sticky mouthfeel, nicely carbonated, plenty of tingling acidity in the aftertaste - ultimately a tad light, but a terrific drinkin’ sour.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle with Rudolf, HogTownHarry, Blankboy & Biegaman. Thanks Rudolf for sharing. Aroma is full of barnyard funkiness & spiciness. Some lemony citrus also. {Pretty basic pale yellow color. Taste is funky, slightly sour & tartness. Taste was decent but didnt live up to the great aroma. Refreshing tasting & very easy drinking

Fair lacing. Flavor: Some light graininess, lemon and green grapes, dusty funk, oak. Really nice tartness throughout. Tartness and dry finish make it refreshing. Palate: Medium-light bodied.
