Bottle acquired through trade with Yonkers65. Thanks Bruce! Shared with Jared at his OC pad for the 7/18 D-Metal Tasting. Hazy dark gold color with a thin white head, lots of carbonation and a bit of lacing. The aroma is tart and citric with notes of lemon and damp barnyard with ginger. Extremely peppery as well. The spicy geuze-like character (from the Sonambic addition I assume) is almost overpowering the flavor. It is somewhat "hot" with acidity, but there is a pleasant oak tone underneath with a lingering nose of grains. The palate is light and carbonated with a good tingle effect. All around pretty good, but I think the use of a spontaneously-fermented component (maybe Beatification Batch 002?) may have knocked this one down for me. Drinkablility decreased as I went on for my second glass.

Aug 23, 2008 #300 Courtesy Oakes and Beershine. This one pours a nice looking dark orange with a small, fizzt white head. The aroma shows sour apples, tart citrus fruits, and some funky oak to balance things out. The flavor is nice and sour of lemons, sour apples and other citrus, but balanced out perfectly by the funky oak and brett. The funky oak and brett add depth and smooth out the acidity from being mouth puckering sour. Medium-full bodied with soft carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel that goes down so smooth. The flavor was almost perfect and balanced throughout with a slight sour finish. A great example of the style and an awesome beer all the way around.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle... O-Town/Vero Beach Throwdown Part 8... This beer rocks!... Murky caramel-colored ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Funky, acidic aroma delivers citrus fruit, leather and horseblanket. Full-bodied and creamy with soft carbonation. Fantastic balance. Just enough residual sugar to keep the extreme acidity in check and smooth out any rough edges. Tannic, tangy finish. Thanks to Beershine and Oakes for sharing this world class beer!

Aug 10, 2008 #1600!! Courtesy Oakes and Beershine. Thanks for sharing guys! Pours a gorgeous dark orange, with a small, swirly, light off white head. The aroma is a beautiful mix of tart tannic fruits, acidity, and mild funk. I got some apple in there as the most prominent citrus character. The flavor blends these features almost perfectly. Definitely sour, but not overly so, which enabled me to pull out the soft fruity essence of the beer. Great balance for a sour brew I thought. The acidity wasnt over the top, and this had some great flavor. I need to get more! Killer!
