Jan 16, 2009 Batch 2. Pours gorgeous, perfect golden, hazy, with a large off-white head that laces well and diminishes moderately. Tangerine, peach, and sharp cheddar in the nose. Sharp flowery hops, peppery yeast, grass, the bitter part of the lemon peel. Oily mouthfeel. Good.

Jan 13, 2009 Batch 3. Pours hazy pale bright amber, with a fuzzy white head that lasts forever. Aroma is tart unripe fruit, summertime walnut skins, wet hay, yeasty yeastiness, plenty of dirty earth, plenty of grass and some herbal hops. Flavor is of musty grass, wet tree bark, old straw, musty orange peels, mild spicy yeast, and a mild earthy hop.

Jan 2, 2009 Very nice pour into the glass with a pig head. Lots of citrus and sourness in the aroma. Hugely sour and earthy with lemon sourness and bite on the end. This reminds me so much of Jolly Pumkin.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle purchased at the Friendly Mini Mart on Detroit in Lakewood for $9.99. Pour was a heavy-headed hazy yellow. Once it rested down to a normal level of foam I stuck my nose into it. Man, funky lemon farmhouse scents abound. There is a hefty scent of wet straw and earth. Flavor is a bit more refined, aka: less funky. It really has a nice clean initial oily grassy malt flavor that brings a nice crispness to it. Almost bitter- almost sour- it has a nice middle of the road zing to it. Once again the ’gang from Cooperstown doesn’t disappoint.

Jan 1, 2009 750ml corked bottle. Thick, murky orange-tan color with a frothy, thick head. Sour aroma of brettanomyces and funky farmhoue wheat. Lemony brett taste at first almost sandy on the palate. The dry bitterness of the hops really shines as you get into the beer. Complex and enjoyable, an interesting balance between sour and bitter. Excellent.
