sampled with the phoenix crew. thanks to psprings for bringing this... pours a milky orange gold with a scant white head which disappears within a few eye blinks. really stinky funky smell... floral, woody, fresh pineapple and a bale of straw left out in the rain. it’s definitely dry and funky... a little sour but not too tart. other notable flavors include dust, woody, a touch of pale malt sweetness and white verjus. medium body. very dry but not continuously parching. awesome...

Oct 7, 2008 rating 1900 and sourhead rating 100. I’ve had this beer several times and it keeps getting better and better. A murky gold color with faint white head. Lemon citrus, funky horse blanket brett, and immense sourness on the aroma. Oak manages to cut through the body of this intensly sour beer. A little saison like funk in there as well. I could drink this every day. Thankfully, it’s on tap at GABF ’08 so I should get my fill for three days straight!

Oct 5, 2008 Hazy yellow. Dense white foam deposits wispy lace with each sip. Bright, soft, and musty nose of sherbet, honeyed cantaloupe, phenolic brett (horseblanket, Band-Aid), lemon cake, and a hint of iron. Carbonation is tight and fluffy on the palate. Brisk brett immediately melds with coarse horseblanket and an oaky grip. Succulent lemon and unripe peach fruitiness augment the body’s core while balancing the dryness. Attenuation is squeaky clean as is the misty dryness. Awesome medley of juicy fruity esters and feisty phenols. Peach fuzz bitterness hangs on well past the explosively fruity esters to complement the poignant yet artfully composed oaky bite. Proportionate, delightfully musty finish showcases a lively phenolic (Band-Aid) crackle entwined bright sherbet. Nicely balanced and amazingly soft. Very gueuze-like. Thanks to Crosling for sharing!

Flavor of lemon, pine apple, green apples, oak and hay. Has a dry crisp semi sweet finish. An all around outstanding brew!
