Sep 20, 2009 Sampled during RBSG 7/11/2009. This sour ale pours a light gold color from a 375ml(?) bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, with a touch of funk. A medium bodied sour ale. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a touch of funk. The hops are grapefruity. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Nice dry and funky finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and funky.

Aug 16, 2009 750ml bottle at the brewpub. I was very excited to be able to try this. Looks like a classic sour ale, hazy orange, gold with a thin white head. Aroma is excellent, perfume, grass, funk, white grapes, flowers, sweet, sour. Flavor is nice too, grass and wheat, flowers, hay, lemons, orange peel, slight oak, white grapes. Finish is dry and slightly sour. Nice job guys.

Aug 15, 2009 Bottle 75 cl. Hazy yellow with a small, off-white head. Tart, bretty aroma of Brett, barnyard and horse blanket - all the great sour characteristics. Rather light-bodied with dry and tart fruit notes and again lots of horse blanket on the palate also. Astringent and dry finish. Overall pretty fresh. 110709

Aug 10, 2009 Pours bright golden with no head. Nose is tart grapefruit and light oak. Flavor is more subtle than the nose, but tart citrus as well. Lasting finish is the best attribute.

Jul 25, 2009 75cl bottle at the brewery during RBSG09. Hazy blond color with a creamy white head. Supper bretty and sour aroma, bringing the funk, lemon, straw, and just a hint of chlorine. Medium-sour flavor with a crisp lemon bite and light grainy malt. There is a cleanliness in the flavor that is more straight-forward than the aroma. Medium-light in body with a dry finish. Pretty good stuff. Miles better than the Grand Funk.
