(Bottle, 2004 vintage) Pours a clear golden body with a spare white quickly diminishing head. Aroma of horse blanket, sour apple, oak, cork, white grapes, apple cider vinegar, and some sherry. Flavor of sour green apples, citric, vinous, and brett with a dry oak finish. Alcohol is there, but nice hidden in the flavor and aroma. Excellent!

Sep 29, 2008 Golden with no head. Sour and funky aroma - like wood, vinegar and wet soil. The flavour is acid and sour too. dominated by vinegar, white wine and bad apple juice. I don’t get this one and find it way beneath the Grand Cru.

Sep 5, 2008 Golden-orange in colour, very clear, no head, no lacing. The aroma is very sharp, tangy and sour, lots of vinegar, cider. The flavour is very tart, insanely dry, some light citrus, some cheese, woody. Very dry mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes dry and sharp, lots of cereal and grains.
The aroma on this is fantastic. The cereal and grains jump out at you in the finish. Very bizarre but equally as good.
375ml bottle obtained in a trade with miketd, thanks Mike.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle from Yespr I believe. This is sure a tasty beverage. Completely still orange pour. Aroma is a bit of yummy orange, a touch of citrusy hops on top a full, rich, old lambic-barrel oakiness. Balanced tartness with butter, almond, apple cider. Yum. Flavor is a complete delight, with a pronounced yet soft oakiness, mild lemon tart and some hay and peanuty malt. Very soft in the mouth and white wine like. Fantastic.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle. Had this many times, but had a bottle tonight and thought i might as well rate it. This is an interesting beer. Amber in colour. Aroma shows some bretty funk, wood, calvados, chardonnay. Palate is soft (quite flat, no carbonation). palate shows some slight sweetness, some oaky, slightly caramelised characters to it, with a nice vinous (more white wine-chardonnay) characters. Bretty sourness throughout. Funky, yet restrained, and quite classy i think. The 10% is there, you can feel it, but its not really too noticeable.
