Flavor is vinous, with oak and some sour towards the back end. Somewhat sticky texture. Medium/light body.

Pours a slightly hazy golden with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is very vinous and citric with oak and spicy funky brett. Taste is the same as aroma with tons of tart over ripe citrus and funky yeast. Medium mouthfeel with a good amount of spicy brett and acidity and a dry finish.

Batch 1 bottle at Grand Tasting. Pours an orangish mango color, with creamy head and nice lacing. Funky cider nose, tart, apples, some cherries, wheat.

(I got the very dreggy pour)
Very cloudy yellow in color with little to no head. Smell is very sweet and floral. Nice sour bite in the flavor and finish. Sweetly sour and yet dry on the finish.
The other pours from the same bottle were quite different - clear yellow, small taste and little oomph.
However, my pour was wonderful - not too over the top and very worth while. I would love to try it again! bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 21, 2009 375 ml bottle acquired via trade and shared with my buddy Lemur. Poured an effervescent golden color with big white champagne bubbles. Aroma was full of lemons and horseblanket and some light oak. Flavor is sour lemon, yeast, funk and light oak. Thin to medium mouthfeel, dances across the tongue at the end. Another winner from RR. IslandHaole (1035), Onna-Son, Okinawa-Ken, Japan
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2007 A beautiful hazy orange color, light yeast, Oak, sweet & sour green apple, a tangy acidity and bubble gum. An interesting northern France farmhouse ale tartness to it. A malty sweetness but the “tang” tips the scale to the dry side. I’m not a big sour beer fan but this was crisp & enjoyable!

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 29, 2005 Updated: Nov 22, 2005Bottled. Batch 001. Pours a murky yellow orange color with a sizable, frothy white head. Subtle, yeasty aroma with notes of the brett. The taste is sharp and fruity with notes of tartness and wine. Finishes with a bit of acidity and more of the fruity notes. Great now but I’m guessing this will be outstanding with a little age on it.
