Thanks to HogTownHarry! Shared with Harry, Tupalev and Blankboy: App: Zero head even with huge aggitation, light, yellow, orange, almost like a cider, zero carbonation. Aroma: Sour, peppery ’sweaty’ (not in a bad way!) some corriander hidden in there too. Flavour: Initially sour, with a ’cornflakes’ grain underlining flavour, some pepper and salt too, very unusual, very different. Enjoyable, but initially I thought I didn’t like it, a few sups later, I loved it. Not an easy drink!

Aug 23, 2008 Bright amber ...a very light nose but cant place it and a tiny amount of vinigar on nose... sour but smoooth not particularly acidic ... very drying really quite tatsy but i cant quite place any distinct recognisable flavour ... seem to get smoother and sweeter on sitting open.

Aug 21, 2008 Deep, deep, deep, deep beautifuuul body with a big bubbled white head; Warm sharp full amber nose, very pleasant and elegant but a little to small; Great body that builds very slowly, not a lot of acid to start with more softness and a little sweetness, quite full; But as soon as the first part of the hit the back of your tongue the acid starts to build and in a quite aggressive way becoming quite acetic. Excellent beer!

Jul 22, 2008 Pours a light amber coppery, mostly still with no head. Acetic acid aroma is pretty intense, tons of apple cider vinegar- acetone, acetaldehyde, malt vinegar, and tannic with a light sweetness. Lighter sweetness in the flavor, mostly sour and acidic- vinegar, light cherry pit and cherry pie, metallic penny-like hints, almond cherry pit, cyanide character. Acetic acid in the mouthfeel is prickly and sour, with more tannins and astringency and a residual apple juice sweetness in the end. Pretty good overall, but a bit to metallic and apply for me.

Jul 14, 2008 Botte at Kulminator, Antwerp, 6/19. Pours golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of sour fruit and wheat. Flavor is very similar. Finish is nicely sour. Very well integrates the sour with the grain malts. An excellent beer.
