Aug 8, 2009 Bottle at Brouwer’s Cafe in Seattle. Got the whole 750 to myself, and enjoyed the entire thing in a very spiritual way. The appearance is gorgeous, perfect lacing, it just hanfgs off the sides of the glass in sheets. Nose is brett, apple, oak, and more brett. Achingly dry. palate is braod, earthy and sour. Spice, acid, pineapple/apple, sweaty horseblanket, and all in absolutely brilliant balance. As this beer warms, a sweet mandarin orange/clementine note emerges in both the nose and the palate, but only once it gets to room temperature. One of the few beers I’ve had that really and truly lived up to the hype.

Aug 5, 2009 boamr’s roommate bought this from Walt on ebay (way to go walt, made a nice coin).
pour was liquid qold, nice fluffy head, huge sour apple aroma, mixed with lemon. flavor was not nearly what i was expecting, much more mild, having had consecration recently, this was not as good to me.

Aug 3, 2009 Straight lemon juice. Crisp tart rind, hazy crisp gold. Bright and fierce lemon rind, delicate intensity. Drinks more like a gueuze to me.

Aug 2, 2009 from old note. Sour is the word here, but it is a very nice tart grape kind of thing. Cloudy, yellowy gold color, medium head, ok lace. Big puckering sour flavor. Lite body, creamy mouth feel, sour dry finish. Very nice. This opens up the world od sours to me if memory serves correct as before sours and I had gotten of to a bad start.

Jul 31, 2009 Deep grape resonance in the aroma. Lovely sourness. Funky and totally lovely! Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.

Jul 29, 2009 Updated: Oct 4, 2009From bottle. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Smell is sour with a bit of a funk smell to it. Taste of sour apples and funk as well as being a little tart. This beer is very well done!

Jul 27, 2009 Unlabeled 750ml bottle. Wow. All out wheat and Brett tastes. Right on. Funky farmhouse wheat in the aroma. Mellow and drinkable still, in it’s own sour way. Quality sour flavors, not unlike sipping directly from a vial of Brett. Sour wheat juice. Awesome!

Jul 25, 2009 Tap at Stone Sour Fest 09. Cloudy golden yellow. Funky/tart/citrus aroma, same flavors predominating taste. Dry (drier than Duck Duck), also greater earthy presence, barnyard, horse blanket, particularly on finish. Nice sour.
