Semi clear orange yellow with no head. Smell is slightly funky - almost like sour socks - but yet is still somehow nice. This is a sour ass beer! It forces the cheeks to clinch and you can’t help but smile. Nice tart presence that has a nice fruity element to it (that isn’t cherries which I am very thankful for). Overall, a yummy beer.

Jun 9, 2008 Updated: Jun 11, 2008375ml bottle from Capone’s. My 100th rating of a beer brewed in California. Pours hazy straw yellow with no head. The aroma is an aggressive blend of citrus rind, hay or straw, funky cheese. The flavor is very tart and yogurt-ish. Just a little bit if malty sweetness left. Medium body with tons of carbonation and a bone dry finish.

Jun 5, 2008 Pours headless with a murky straw/golden color. Aroma is very authentic with sourness and brett, vinegar, and some barnyard. Taste is very, very mild vinegar with peach skins hints. Very reduced carbonation which leads to a slightly lifeless feel. Low acidity, tartness at the end, and dries you out.

Jun 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy yellow golden, capped with a thin white head. Aroma is tart and citric, with notes of grapefruit, cork, white wine, lactic acid and wild yeast. Taste is actually a bit sweet at first, with white grape, lemon juice, grain and tropical fruit initially, then building to a quite tart finish, with grapefruit and brett lingering on the palate. Tart, yet very drinkable. Excellent stuff, but at this early point in the beer’s life, i think i prefer batch 1.

Jun 4, 2008 Sampled at Hellbilly’s Hellraiser II. Yeasty, sour fruit aroma. Yellow body with no head. Flavor is a good dose of sour and tart. Footy was in heaven.

Jun 2, 2008 Many thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - cloudy yellow beer with a few tiny bubbles - loads of funk/cheese/barnyard in the aroma, with a light touch of leathery character - a bit salty/briny up front - a lot of aged blue cheese flavor and a mild acidity that allows the wild quality to take center stage more than in a lot of other sours/lambics - ends with a little more leather and brine - some subtle citrus - extreme without being overpowering (I could drink loads of this), which is hard to do - kudos.
