Aug 16, 2009 On tap at Toronado 22nd anniversary. This hazy golden ale poured with a decent off-white head and a strong citrus aroma. There is a sour lemon flavor from the brett and a nice oak finish. It sticks to the palate in a very pleasant way.

Jul 8, 2009 Batch 2 bottle sample at Muckfest 2009 Day 1. Cloudy orange pour with a thin white head. Tart citrus aroma, but not offensively funky. Reminds me of a really good Berliner Weiss. Super sour (but still not overly funky) flavor with some nice crisp lemon presence and an acidic finish. Not a fan of sours, but this one is one of the better I’ve had. Crap! I rated a sour a 4 or above?! Dammit, I think I’m actually starting to maybe like this style. Or at the very least I can appreciate when it’s very well executed.

Jul 5, 2009 Bottle shared at Muckfest 2009 in Lancaster Ohio. Aroma of spoiled bread. Flavor was sour apples, brown sugar, hint of vanilla, and sour tarts. Not nearly as horrible as I was expecting for a sour. But not sure what all the fuss was about this beer.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle shared by Sparky27 at Hellbilly’s tasting. Yeasty, sour aroma. Gold body with a white ring around the glass for a head. A sour beer but somewhat waterly. Maybe a bit overhyped.

Jun 13, 2009 Bottle shared at 2009 DLD: Honestly not many notes on this one, I think I got distracted by someone. Hazy golden hue, good head. Sour cherries and apples, some brett funk and oak. The taste is acidic and fruity with some barnyard tones towards the end. The mouth feel is soft and lets the beer sit upon the palate quite awhile, dry finish. Very nice brew.

Jun 9, 2009 Tap at Toronado for Belgian-Inspired beer dinner. Hazy golden color with a white head. Funky aroma with Brett, wood, and dry white wine. Flavor very sour and funky with lots of lemon, unripe white grapes, and barrel notes. Low carbonation, medium body with sharp sourness on the palate. Good but a bit overhyped.

Jun 9, 2009 batch #2 bottle shared by sparky27.
pale orange brown pour with a smidge of a white head which doesn’t want to stick around.
it smells...smoky. i wasn’t expecting that at all...intoxicating.... woody, tart, dry crisp white wine and just a touch of stink.
loads of barrel toast/soft smoke in the flavor as well... tart grapes, white wine/leaning on ml chardonnay, yeast, tart lemon and a pineapple-like sourness which grows as it warms. the tannins fight the tartness and battle it out on my cheeks.
very low carbonation... almost nil which makes it insanely smooth and lux. unusual for sure but i really dig it! 9/4/8/5/17/4.3
