notalush (2626), Denver, Colorado, USA Oct 31, 2009 Tap at Choice City Deli - served in a pint glass, of all things - anyway - poured a very hazy, glowing orange - this beer was extremely acetic, but a lot of citrus and peach tanginess made it a lot easier to tolerate - quite sour, with soft oakiness and mild wild character behind the initial vinegar punch - light hop compliments the notes of citrus very well - funkiness comes through even more in the finish - a little less acetic character would be nice, but this is damn good. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA Oct 26, 2009 Pours a golden yellow.
Nose is funky, citrus, floral hops.
Taste is sour, lots of nice brett funk, oaky earthiness, lemon, apples, herbs and spices, yeast, and more funk. bbbrew (171), Washington DC, USA Oct 25, 2009 draft at fallingrock. best sour beer i have ever had. compared side by side with la folie, trip III, transatlantique. awesome. HonkeyBra (1258), Lemont, Illinois, USA Oct 10, 2009 Sample at GABF, then on tap at Falling rock. Woah. This is a stunner right here. Golden, hazy pour. Nose is very sour, funky, some hops too. Flavor is very sour, with some bitter notes. The sour, funky flavor in this is awesome. This was a standout at GABF. Bottle this and I would buy cases. craftbeerdesign (731), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Oct 5, 2009 sample from the pitcher at GABF on 9/26/09... pours a light golden... big sour funky nose... smooth body with some citrus notes from the dry-hopping... kick ass sour... TampaBrew (715), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 3, 2009 Pours a hazy dull yellow. Nose is sweet and tart, funky barnyard, lactic sour, flowery sweet, sweet malt, citrus and fruity. Flavor is very tart sour, puckering, funky, earthy, flowery, lemon, honey, apple peel, fruity and tart. This is a damn fine beer. elihapa (1028), Honolulu, California, USA Sep 30, 2009 9/28/09 notes: poured at GABF, sampled twice. Pours gold in color, a murky mysterious beer with no head. Rich barnyardy nose with dried lemon peel and earthiness. Flavor has a fascinating blend of citrus and vinegar acidity, rounded with brett and distinct musty earthiness. This whole series by New Belgium (Love, Terroir, Tart Lychee) is absolutely delicious. I think this is the “funkiest” of those three. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Sep 27, 2009 On tap at Stone Sourfest 09. Brown hazy pour. Aroma is slightly meaty, tart, and hints of flowers. Flavor is a nice strong tartness.
