Apr 21, 2009 Bottle - This beer just looks refreshing, with lots of carbonation in the yellowish Mountain Dew-looking liquid, topped with a bright white head. I can smell this sucker from across the bar: there’s vinegary sour fruit and red wine. Taste is of sour, tart apples, grapes, and dry champagne. It’s easy drinking except for the crazy carbonation that froths in the mouth. It gets in the way of the taste a bit, but otherwise I loved this beer.

Apr 17, 2009 Bottle. Big thanks to guerde. Pours hazy yellow golden, capped with a big white head. Nice aroma for the style, with notes of wheat, straw, lactic acid, and white grape. Flavor is wheat, straw, lemon, white grape, and mild lactate. Mild tartness lingers on the palate. Medium bodied and very refreshing. I wish it were a little more tart, but its tasty nonetheless.

Apr 12, 2009 A really well done Berliner. Though I figured this would be good I was stunned by this NG beer. Really nice tart beer without having to struggle with sourness.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle into Duvel tulip; purchased at Jenifer Street Market, Madison. Pours with an initially large but dense head and a buttery banana cream aroma spilling forth so much that feet away you can smell it. A nose stuck in the glass finds spritzy champagne and sour apple and a dusty yeastiness I also smell in Cantillon beers. Almost opaque but transluscent enough to see lots of bubbles cascading to the surface. Dusting of white head with very dense, small-bubble lacing in arcs on the glass when you tip it. Light, lively, and sour from the first moment. Perfect carbonation level. The finish settles into sour apple very quickly with occasional resurgence of mouthwatering acidity under the tongue that has a balsamic character. Not that complex, but very delicious. A great sour beer.

Mar 29, 2009 Bottle thanks to thecheeseman, shared with angrypirate06 and ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a large white head that leaves great lace over a haze golden body. Aroma starts off sweet with wine and wheat, and then finishes slightly tart with notes of wood and honey. Taste is tart and then sort of cloyingly sweet with rotten grapes and wheat. I am not sure that the fruit actually helps the flavor at all. Light carbonation and a dry mouthfeel.
