Dec 15, 2006 Bottle. Pours copper to orange, slightly hazy. I hated the La Folie but this one is much more accessible. Flavors are more complex., there is definitely some oak in there, also the palate and crabonation are champagne like. There is a sourness for sure but is is well balanced wth other flavors.I .liked it better with every sip.

Jan 25, 2006 I’m going to veer away from the crowd on this one. I found the chardonnay character to completely kill the beer and would advise brewers to avoid this idea. Distinct aroma of white wine and flavors of white wine. Bad combo imho. Go have a glass of white wine instead.

Nov 4, 2009 Pours a clear amber color with thin white head. Aroma dominated by tart oak character and light fruit. Soft carbonation up front with a huge oak flavor that is balanced by nice light fruit flavor. Hints of grape, cherry strawberry throughout. Creamy medium-bodied.

Sep 2, 2009 Bottle @ Monk’s Cafe, Philadelphia. All I can say to this is WOW....Pours a hazy golden color (at least it looked that way in the low light) with noticeable lacing and a small white head. Aroma is lemon, earth/grass notes, and a definite brett characteristic toward the end. Taste is the same, with an incredible citrus/earth characteristic, a very tart finish (though not distracting), and a wonderful dryness throughout. I think I got a little sweetness and an ever-so-slight bitterness in there - it’s so sublimely balanced and complex. I love it, I absolutely love it, and I need to get more from these guys STAT.

Mar 9, 2003 A big yeasty sweet tropical fruit nose came out of this golden brew.Nice spiciness in the finish. Felt it could have used a little more body.

Aug 25, 2007 375ml bottle, Batch 001, courtesy of boboski (THANKS Jason)! Pours a perfectly clear and beautiful golden with a slight fizzy white head, slight lacing. Aroma is sour grapes, sour apple, oak, and musty funk; very pleasant, and opens up in the glass nicely! Flavor is more sour apple with some light citrus and oakiness. Palate is light, and medium-thin, good carbonation, and a brief, but satisfying finish. Good stuff!
