Sep 13, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a thin white head. The aroma is very citrusy and there is an almost earthy overtone to it. The flavor is very complex. There is the huge sourness that has a very sugary/sweet side to balance it out a touch. It really reminds me of sour patch kids. Very fruity, sweet, sugary, and tart. This is excellent!

Sep 12, 2008 Huge thanks to thejoeshow for sharing this very hard to find gem! Pours a beautiful cloudy opaque woody unfiltered apple cider hue. Nice tart acidic green apple, rasberry, cherry, oaky tannins, and once a gain a sugary sweet sour candy like tearjerkers. The palate is delightfully tart, but well balanced with huge lemon, green and red apples, definate cider vinegar as well. The palate hangs for awhile and screams oak and tart acidity! this beer is amazing!

May 24, 2008 On tap at Brouwer’s. Dark peach. fair head. Sour sugary fruit aroma. (apricot? and melon) Rolling delicious flavour. Like sherbet. Don’t want to let it off the tongue. Sourness disappears quickly after the finish.

May 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 4, 2008draft @ brouwer’s sour fest - ymmm, this was just terrific and blew away the base beer Love (aka Foedre #3); the dry-hopping melded perfectly with the sourness for a tart, yet more complex and interesting brew; equally bright orange with a more pronounced head; creamy texture and lovely nose; yummy

May 20, 2008 Orange body and quite hazy with a nice sized off white head. Aroma bursts sour tartness. Slightly barny. Sour and tart with citrus flavour and some barny yeast. Quite citric throughout and quite strong. A little too citric for me.
Earlier Rating: 5/20/2008 Total Score: 4
Sour throughout but oh so balanced and clean. Some green apple and peach with some yeast and spice. Quite a nice sour ale.

May 13, 2008 Updated: Apr 30, 200912 oz draft at Brouwers Cafe Sour Fest in Seattle, Washington. I had this as New Belgium Foedre. Pour is cheddar cheese orange, cloudy with a 1 inch off white head. Aroma is super sour, very tart, even medicinal. Taste is huge: super, mouth puckering, sucking on a lemon, sour. Green apple tartness in the finish. Citric, lactic. Sweet, than suddenly very dry. Finish is simultaneously mouth-coating and drying. Interesting in an over the top sour sense, but too overpowering to me. The whole experience was overwhelming. My stomach lining was screaming for me not to finish this one.
