| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 15, 2009 Growler… Hazy yellow ale with no head. I can only describe the aroma as Barnyard-Extreme! Layers of fresh and stale manure, straw, horse blanket and limburger cheese – in a good way? Yep! Medium-bodied with nearly expired carbonation. Tart with essences of aged, old, vintage cheese. No residual sweetness can be found lingering in the midst of the acidity and the balancing, earthy, minerally bitterness. Finishes tart, funky and dry. Thanks to GoT for providing the growler!

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 14, 2009 Special thanks to Hoppymeal for the growler. Super funky aroma of hay, (cigarette smoke thanks to some asshole in the bar), alcohol and citrus. Flavor keeps a nice bit of hops, with a lot of wood. This is great, but I honestly wish there was a little more from the merlot. Kick ass funky and woody brew, though. Thumbs up! egajdzis (3640), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 7, 2009 [Draft @ Livery] Poured a hazy golden color with a medium sized white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, honey, vanilla, toasted malt, grapes, leather, and citrus fruits. Taste of citrus fruits, apple, tart grape, vanilla, toasted oak, wild yeast, and a dry, tart, finish. What a surprise, this was the best beer of my trip. alexsdad06 (1107), Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Draft @ MBGF Summer 08. Pours hazy dark golden color with a small white head. The aroma was a funky tart citrus with moderate sweetness and grass. Not just any grass, but the kind found in open fields like the beginning of Little House on the Prairie. The flavor is crisp and refreshing with moderate sweetness, tart citrus, wood, fruity, and more grass. This was one of the betteer beers from day two of the fest. Thanks to BBB63 for being our go to guy for the Livery. Tmoney99 (4792), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
