Nov 20, 2008 Amber with a firm tan head. Spicy hop is combined with a slightly bretta and a fruity note. Flavour is hoppy, very bitter, quite harsh. Lack the acidity I expected. I found difficult to empty my glass. I’d probably let it cellar for a while.

Nov 19, 2008 Sampled during Minnesota first annual Sourfest and shared by EddieB. Pours a hazy copper amber brew with a heavy and lumpy off-white head that has some nice retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of dark pitted fruits, oranze zest, some barnyard funk, and some bready malt, Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of tart dark fruits, yeast, some dry biscuits and citrus zest. Finish has a mild earthy spice aftertaste that even has a light vanilla and yeast flavor. Not too bad!

Nov 19, 2008 Pours amber with a big head. Great funky, sour nose, a bit oaky. Flavor is a bit sour with a dry, smokey, oaky aftertaste. I wish it had been more sour. Mouthfeel is good. It’s pretty good, though, I kind of expected more.

Nov 16, 2008 It’s hazy, beautiful, orange-red with a huge, creamy and lasting head. The aroma has notes of fruit, oranges and more sharp citrus, malt light sweetness and barnyard. The flavour has sweetness and notes of hops with notes of fruit, citrus in a sharp kind of way, spice, malt and barnyard. I expected it to be more brett-like, but it’s the sharp spicy/hoppy alcohol-bit that bothers me the most, but I could be fooled into thinking this, it might be the doing of the brett...

Nov 2, 2008 750, corked, baled, and foiled. Thanks, BVC! Slightly hazy medium amber with loose sudsy tan head. Plenty of steady rising carb. Huge green apple and spice nose. Crisp, almost prickly fizzy body. Beautiful nut, caramel, and biscuit base under a lovely green apple and spice mid-palate. Mild spicy finish. Clearly a tripel, and clearly delicious. Awesome beer.

Nov 1, 2008 750ml, caged and synth-corked. Deep hazy copper. Soapy off-white head. COMPLEX! Aroma has some tart fruits, lots of dough, yeasty, malted grain, and some resiny hop. Big woodiness flavor. Very dry. Lots of bread. So much going on. The more it warms, the more seems to come out of the glass.
