May 27, 2009 750ml bottle shared by rustychiles at hellbilly’s holiday tasting. Pours clear amber with a thin white head. The nose is floral hops, light funk and caramel malt. The taste is light citrus hops, faint toffee and light barnyard funk. Medium bodied. Not bad at all. Thanks Rusty!

May 25, 2009 12oz bottle from Coaltrain I think. Lots of plastic phenolic chlorine notes somewhere between a Brett and a high temperature saison. Light sour notes. I love sour beers, but this doesn’t work well. Light yellow amber color. Huge foamy head that lingers. I guess I’m not the biggest Orval fan either, so maybe it is to be expected that this isn’t my favorite either.

May 25, 2009 Pours a golden orange color with a white head. Aroma is funk, malt, yeasts. Flavor is funky, yeasts, hops, bitterness, I definitely see the orval influence in this one. Finishes bitter, wild and slightly funky. Good brew.

May 22, 2009 A really big version of it’s alright. Hazy brown with a fluffy white head. Fruit alcohol and sour aroma and taste with a more rounded bread taste and spicy notes on the back end.

May 20, 2009 My first Mikkeller brew. We finally got this distributed in Kentucky! Aromas of grape, blueberry, light watered fruits. Flavor is a lot of the same nose characteristics with a bit of hop bite in the finish. Alcohol doesnt drown the flavor at all. Malt body is thinnish. I loved it. I cant wait to try the rest of the lineup.
