Feb 22, 2009 Sample @ EBF ’09 - Wow, Wow, WOW! Pours a hazy gold with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is heavy sour, with detectable citrus and brett. Taste is FUNK with a citrus and lemon zest characteristic up front dissolving into that unmistakable and utterly sublime lambic sourness. The beer is wonderfully smooth, and just a home run on all fronts.

Jan 8, 2009 Sampled at 08 barrel night. Hazy yellow pour with a thin white head. Pretty formidable funk aroma with sweet notes. Pretty tart and dry mouthfeel with flavors dominated by citrus. It definitely smooths out after a couple sips. Damn good beer.

Mar 3, 2009 Draft, numerous samples at NOTB and EBF. Pours murky golden, with a minimal off-white head. Very acetic aroma, with musty wild yeast, some citrus, and tropical fruit. Flavor brings a lot of apricot and peach, along with wild yeast, citrus, wood and acetic acid. Long, tart, acidic finish. This was one of my favorites at the fest.

Jan 11, 2009 Forgot to rate this gem from the 2008 Barrel tasting. Hazy golden with just a tad of head. Sour sweet aromas. Very smooth and lasting on your palate. Great lemon, grapefruit flavors. Solid sour presence. Another impressive beer.

Dec 18, 2008 Sampled at the 2008 Lost Abbey Barrel Tasting. Probably my favorite beer of the event. Cloudy yellow color with low to medium carbonation. Nice light and lacy white head. Sweet, funky and slightly peppery acidic aroma. Similar to Isabelle Proximus, however more tart and with more oak character. Mellowed barrel flavors of hay, soil, lemon rind, wood and funk. Very sour, but pleasantly sour finish. This could be an awesome gueuze addition considering the tartness. Extremely drinkable despite the acidity. Great stuff.
