Oct 23, 2009 Batch 3 bottle. Huge cork pop. Strong amber with big, dense white head. Nose is beautifully sharp. Wine and light funkiness on the nose. vinegar tartness hinting behind. I’m already salivating. Super sharp tart citrus. Light and dry. Grapes, lemon, champagne-like. Maybe cherry? Dry bitter finish. Leaves earthy funkiness.

Oct 19, 2009 Served on tap at O’brien’s TION night in a 13oz Chimay.
I’ve had this in bottle (batch 003) on several occasions, and found that I didn’t enjoy it on tap as much. The oak comes through, and the beer really lives up to its description (is it a beer? is it a wine?). Blonde in color, big white head lacing. Medium sourness, tart fruits, oak, lemon come through. Medium bodied, dry, refreshing. Very good.

Oct 10, 2009 On tap at Falling Rock. Pours hazy yellow with nice white head. Aroma of sour grapes, funk, fruit, oak. Pretty awesome aroma. Flavor is a nice prickly sour. Tart grapes, light funk and oak. Dry finish. Absolutely thrilled I got to drink this one.

Oct 8, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Great way to end the tasting of some great beers at a good brewpub. The smell is heavenly, tart, fruits, complex, brett, wood, wine. The look has a lacy off white head and is golden orange in color. The taste brings back all the fun from the smell and ends nice and dry.

Oct 7, 2009 375 ml bottle (batch 001) via trade with Irishboy - Pours a hazy golden color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Very light lacing. Has a light, but musty ripe fruit aroma with a faint hint of oak. No tartness in the aroma! The flavor is slightly tart esters with a little bit of malt sweetness. Fairly mild compared to some of the of Sours I’ve tried. The tartness lingers a tad on the palate. Medium body. A pretty nice Sour. Maybe I should age all my Sours for 3 to 4 years before drinking. Thanks Richard.

Oct 4, 2009 Pours a hazy straw yellow with a quick climbing head.
Nose is very bright with lemon and yest, almost like a saison with brett.
Taste is all over the place in a good way, light in body, extremely dry, nice light oak tanins, lemon zest, brett, leather, acid, apple peels, all compete for the palate’s attention, all find a way to be harmonious. It almost feels like this beer got lucky, shouldnt be this good, but it really is.
HOPSHUNTER (376), Tampa, Florida, USA
Oct 4, 2009 Bottle, thanks to TampaBrew for sharing. Poured a hazy blonde color with a tall whispy white head that leaves good lacing on the glass. Very vinous nose with notes of oak, brett, spice, and light citrus. Medium body with a smooth mouth feel. This beer rocks, dry and slightly acidic with lots of brett and oak notes throughout. Good amount of tartness and earthiness with notes of grapes and spice. Excellent.
