Bottle. The case box is stamped Bottled Nov 7 2007. Hazy amber with an off white head. Good nose is barnyard, tart cherries, lemon and wood. Medium body and smooth. Taste mirrors the aroma with cherries, lemon, wood and funky brett. A lingering finish is nicely sour and stings your tongue. This brew is/will be an American classic. I’m thankful now that i picked up extra bottles to age. Fantastic.

Bottle. Amber beer with a low off-white head. Nice sour acetic aroma with oak and a light fruitiness. Acetic (but not over the top) flavor with oak and soft malt to round. Some green apple notes as well. Medium body. Acetic not lingers nicely. Brett shows nicely in combo with the acetic quality.

Bottle opened post Belgian Beer fest in ME. Wow what an awesome creation. A sour dry puckering fruit infusion of lemon citrus and sour apples. Brett and simply put by BK at the time "its just sour", and whats not to love about that, i couldn’t find much.

Notes from Hair of the Dog Dave Tasting. Pour is golden copper with small white head. Yeasty aroma with some sour funk and fruit notes too. Sour taste but not overpowering. Nicely carbonated and lasting finish.

(750ml bottle) Thanks to Enniskillen for sharing. Pours a thin, white frothy head with a cloudy brown body. Nose of a geueze. Very tart. Grape skin, vinegar, white wine. Reminds me of Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze. 9/5/9/5/18
