May 30, 2006 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a very nice white head. Yeast and citrus on the nose. Flavors are saison meets belgian ale like; sour, sweet, and spicy. Bread throughout along with lemon with some spice. A tad thin but refreshing and nice merger of style/flavor. Thanks to jhammerly for the bottle.

May 23, 2006 This beer pours cloudy yellow color with an explosion of foam (1 finger of beer to 4 fingers of foam). The smell is of candied malts, very pungent and slightly sour. The flavor is mostly sweet, but noticeably sour, with hints of lemon. Mouthfeel is very bubbly, with generous, sharp carbonation. The beer finishes dry and leaves a sour aftertaste that fades quickly.
I wasn’t expecting a sour beer, and this caught me off-guard. That said, it’s not bad. The flavor is pleasant, and although it’s very strong, it’s rather cleansing. It reminds me a bit of the lambic I tried awhile back, but it’s actually drinkable.

May 14, 2006 Bottled. Pours a hazy golden-orange with an enormous lacy pale yellow head. Nose is mostly yeast with orange peel showing through. Medium body, soft fizzy carbonation. Flavor is citrus, bread, spice and caramel. Finish is quick and dry with some bitterness. An interesting beer.

May 9, 2006 Best before 27Oct06. Pours a hazy golden with a moderate off-white head. Aroma of oranges, yeasty funk, sour (sour what you ask? just sour), and spices. Fairly tart, with all the aromas coming through in the taste. Some bitterness noted from the middle to the end, lingering a little. Can pick up a little alcohol too--surprising since it’s only 6.2%. Pretty good.

Apr 14, 2006 12 oz bottle from Hangman’s in Placerville, CA. Hazy brown pour with minimal head. Malty, aroma with some kind of spiciness to it. Flavors were similar with some orange in the middle. Ended with a decent hop finish.

Apr 6, 2006 Poured golden with a foamy white head. Hints of apple, sweet malts, orange, corriander and apple come into the aroma. Taste was not too exciting but pleasant with the same aspects as the aroma with the addition of caramel. Mouthfeel was not too exciting because it was lacking fullness in my opinion. Pretty solid beer overall but I was expecting a bit more.
