thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with an off-white head. Aroma is sour fruit, a bit of soap typical for the style, hops, and some barnyard characteristics. Taste is light fruit up front, with a soapy/hoppy/barynard finish that really brings the whole beer together. I liked it very much. patrickfannon (271), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 31, 2009 Updated: Nov 1, 2009Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours slightly murky orange with an off-white head.Aroma of sour fruit, wheat, hops, hay, soil, and hints of lemon. Medium bodied. Moderate, sweet mouthfeel. Very good. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Oct 27, 2009 batch 002 from october 2008. deep orange/amber with a thick cream head. nose is dried fruis, slight cherry and a tart nose. very smooth on the palate with a flavor of citrus, dried apples and funk. tronraner (1905), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Oct 14, 2009 750 mL bottle. Pours a deep coppery orange with big offwhite head. The aroma is an interesting spicy lime with some oak, obvious brett, a little bit of leather, and a little bit of super-ripe berries. The flavor is rather dry with a sort of lime, oak, and lavender mixture, some spiciness, and a bit of earthy leather. The finish is nice and dry with plenty of brett character. A slight cheesy funk with some vanilla lingers into the aftertaste. A pretty tasty beer here. CheersMate1 (763), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 2, 2009 750 oz. purchased at Mac’s on West Peachtree. A little expensive, but you only have one life to live! Haze orange/brown color. Head fades away fairly quickly. Tart apple aroma. Slight sweet fruit aroma as well. Somewhat of a pungent aroma. I like the sour aroma, but it is not incredibly nuanced. Interesting flavor. It is not that sour at all. There is a slight sour flavor, but it has a slightly sweet fruit flavor as well. I taste the brett only slightly which is a let down, wish it had more of a presence here. Slight spice at the very end. Not an incredibly awesome beer, but it has its moments. Beer is slightly smooth. hobbersr (393), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Sep 29, 2009 Thanks to Savvy1982 for the share! Pours a cloudy brown/orange with a large head that retains well. Aroma is slightly sour, and has a nice complexity. Oranges, sour cherries, breasy yeast, lilacs, apples and plum skin. The taste is like a thin Orval pretender (Not a bad thing). Lilacs, cherries, oranges, perfume, apples, soft fruit, dark fruit and a slightly spicy/sour finish. Ok mouth feel, just a little thin. Not a bad Orval pretender, just not Orval. SuzyGreenberg (1318), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 28, 2009 750 ml bottle - batch #2 / Oct. 2008; dark orange with fluffy white head; apples, bretty dryness, a little mushy and yeasty spice; definitely has a tarty kick; dry, wheaty and grainy; very little sweetness and flavor profile is kind of strange; almost a wild flower flavor or dirty sticks crazyvin (1245), New York, USA Sep 25, 2009 amber hue with a thick white head that had good retention and some lace. Aroma was of fruit notes and barnyard notes. Fruit notes were a tad acidic, non offensive and not citrus. Flavor seemed to have a good fruit tartness to it a good yeasty note to it. Finish was good but rather thin. Carbonation was mild.
