Dec 31, 2008 Bottle courtesy of golubj, who is the man. Color of murky, dull gold. Aroma of funk, fruit, must, wheat, wood and citrus. Nice. Flavor was very similar, with a pronounced funky, barnyard element. A tad vinegar and lemon as well. This was very enjoyable for the style. Nice palate.

Dec 31, 2008 Rating 100. Only took a year and a half. This one is pretty descent. Nice funk character. Would like to have seen more funk though...dont know why but I feel like this one is lacking something...

Dec 27, 2008 750, corked and baled. Thanks, SuzyGreenberg! Wow, what a rare gem to reel in. Cloudy medium amber with virtually no head or lace. Tart balsamic and strawberry nose, maybe a little moss in there as well. Creamy medium body. Vinegar tartness on the mid-palate, but, most shockingly of all, there really is not that much else going on on the mid-palate. We all expected a fair bit more flavor than we got out of this beer. Well-made to be sure, but hardly a triumph.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle pours an orange amber body with a thin off white head. Plagued by sour vinegar and a light oakiness, and a mouthwatering aroma. One of the first sours i enjoyed. Lemon, cheese, and sour milk. lightly dry with grapes. Interesting. My first taste.

Dec 23, 2008 Hazy orange with medium beige head. Sour aroma with notes of barnyard, orange, vinegar and wood. Sour flavour with notes of wood, barnyard and grapefruit. Sour finish. Misses the pureness that lambic has. Not dry enough.
