| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 26, 2009 Hazed golden, ring of fluffy suds that coat the glass...peachy, oranges...lemon sourness...horsey background. Clean fruity sourness..subtle stinging nectarine essence among perfect biting sourness. Some bandage...I can’t find a single fault. BBB63 (4229), La Porte, Indiana, USA

Golden hue with a light bubbly head and good lace. The aroma has notes of barnyard funk and acidic vinegary citric/cherry vapours along with some soft malts, oak, flowers and minerals. The taste is twangy fruit and backed up by mild funky yeast tones. The base malt can be found along with some oak and sublime spice notes. The mouth feel is crisp and refreshing with a dry tannic finish. Outstanding brew but not quite up to the level of the first Veritas... yet. AgentSteve (1374), SF Bay Area, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 29, 2009 Pours a nice opaque dark lemon with a tight bubbled, thin head that leaves a ring around the glass. Sweet and tart citrus in the nose, same in the flavor. A little lacking in the finish. badlizard (2345), Berkeley, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Bottle from the giving tree. Bright hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Sour lemon and green apple aroma and taste with a bright palate and a dry finish. tokyogoat (508), San Diego, California, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy golden yellowish orange.
Nose is bright with citrus, lemon, different fruits, and some slight hay.
taste is a plethora of different light colored fruits. Lemon, pear, peach, pineapple, green apple, covered with a slight coriander spiciness, and the perfect levels of funk and sourness. Not too much lacot/pedio, but just enough to wrap together all of the flavors into a great American wild ale. CaptainCougar (5456), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 18, 2009 Bottle generously shared by ygtbsm94 on 1/10/09: Pours a hazy pale golden with a wispy-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malts and lots of fresh oak and citrusy tartness. Body starts with good fullness and sweetness to balance the complex vinous oak and tart complexity. Finishes drier and crisp. Very enjoyable, yet assertive. This should age very well but has a great balance of sweet and tart flavors now. neepsntatties (330), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 15, 2009 Got to try a bottle of this courtesy of "DA". Colour... lazy, hazy straw. Nose... Nicely acetic, with hints of citrus (esp. lemon) and bit o’ funk. Palate... Sour power wower!! Very crisp, with lemon, quince, kiwi, funk, and a refreshingly long tangy finish. More please!
