punkrkr27 (606), Berkley, Michigan, USA Jan 24, 2007 Bottle courtesy of ross. 375mL, batch 2. Hazy yellow pour with a dense foamy white head. Smells of white grapes, lemon, orange zest, grassiness, and a touch of candi sugar, oak, brett, and some Belgian yeast. Brett sourness is very dominant in the flavor with more white grapes and oak and a hint of candi sugar on the finish. Medium body with a very dry finish. ratman197 (3137), Arvada, Colorado, USA Jan 21, 2007 375 ml bottle Batch #1 poured a clear golden yellow with a large creamy lasting white head. Aromas of sour citrus, straw, some vinous notes and a hint of oak. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, lemon, a hint of white grapes and oak with a lingering dry bitter finish. MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Jan 18, 2007 Batch 002. Cloudy yellow with a large head. Aroma of oak, white wine and sour yeast. Flavor is vinous, with oak and some sour towards the back end. Somewhat sticky texture. Medium/light body. The flavors all work and balance with each other wonderfully. tupalev (2605), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 15, 2007 Bottle shared with the crew in late November. Cloudy yellow, foamy white head. Sour, funky, yeast aroma - strong and good. Taste is simply amazing - yeast, soft malt, funky organic characteristic, bread - wow, good stuff, complex. Soft mouthfeel. Wonderful stuff here, as advertised. kkearn (994), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 7, 2007 375ml bottle, Batch 002. Hazy golden with lacy white head. Aroma of sour apple, oak, and brett. Sweet at first with some oaky notes; sourness is somewhat restrained compared to other brett beers. complex yet very drinkable. One of my new favorites. alexanderj (2212), Chino Hills, California, USA Jan 5, 2007 Poured an orange-peach, little to no head. Aroma similar to a lambic; earthy qualities to it. Somewhat sweet, fruity, sour with hints of some oak, alcohol and yeast. Not overly sour compared to others, but still too sour for me. Don’t look for that in a beer. Nonetheless, this was still pretty good. Would have liked more of an oak taste, but flavor was still very complex. Alchohol was very mellow. Dry finish. Recommended for those who like sour beers. Zeswaft (1000), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 5, 2007 never again. $14 for a 14 oz bottle of this. I hate bret and sour beers. This accomplishes both. sour and vinous. reminds a lot of stille nacht reserve 2005. though that threw in a lot of alcohol too. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Jan 4, 2007 Courtesy boboski. Deep orange in color, slightly hazy, sparse thin white head. Aroma is fantastic - reminiscent of a lambic, but has a sweet, less aggressive edge to it. Palate is medium to thin which makes this very drinkable. The sourness is present in the taste, but is not overpowering. The sourness combines with oak flavors and finishes dry. A unique, drinkable beer.
