Bottle: The aroma is floral with nice bretty and sour apple notes. It pours a slightly hazy gold with lots of sediment and a half inch white head. The flavor starts yeasty with some light sour apple notes. The finish is lightly floral with some faint lemon. Light bodied with somewhat lively carbonation.

Apr 19, 2009 Light yellow color. Barnyard, straw, lots of wild yeast. Mildly sour, lots of yeast in the flavor. Full palate. This is very nice, like almost everything from this brewery.

Mar 18, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of pineapple, perfume, spices, tons of floral notes, graham cracker, marshmallow, and plenty more buggy/funky notes. Flavor of all that floralness with a touch of candi sugar, and some musty, yogurty yeastiness. A lightly sour finish with a touch of cardboard. Awesome aroma (and appearance), and strong otherwise.

Mar 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to mreusch. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a thick white head. Aroma of sour grapes, sweettart candies, Belgian yeast. Simply heavenly- very Orval-like. Flavor is even better. Beligan candi sugar, sweet-tart candies, and light sourness. Some wheaty notes and a touch of dry hops too. Russian River never fails to impress. This was an awesome beer, something I could drink all the time. Simply superb.

Mar 1, 2009 750 ml bottle, batch 001. This beer poured a nice golden color with an immense fizzy and fluffy head. It took quite awhile for the head to disapate but once it did I got a nose of spice and yeast and a bit of hops. All very pleasing. The taste was equally pleasing. The initial taste was a bit of corriander and other spices, herbal and also yeasty with a good backbone of hops to round things out. After a few more sips I picked up some nice fruit notes which also helped to make this beer very well balanced and drinkable. Another winner from Vinnie. Can’t wait to open a few more bottles of this...they are lingering in my basement.

Jan 23, 2009 Sampled during MN Gathering II in Maplewood, MN and shared by Faro99. From a 750 ml bottle pours a hazy golden blond brew with a decent white head that quickly dissipates to a thin white ring and film top. Aroma is slightly fruity, a touch of yeast, banana esters, a hint of lemon zest and some American cheese. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of white bread dough, some pear, lemon zest, a little yeast funk and mild spice. Finish has a mild tartness and yeast aftertaste that slowly disappears.
