Jan 5, 2006 12oz corked bottle. Pours a light golden yellow color, slightly cloudy, with a medium sized pure white head that slowly dissipates to leave nice lacing. Aroma is all about the funk, with sour cherries, leather, honey, white grapes, and a hint of dry wood. Flavor is more subdued than the aroma would lead one to expect. Fair amount of dry woodyness, malt, touch of honey. Light palate with fairly evident carbonation. Finish is rather dry, clean, with a subtle but tangible bitterness. A very nice and interesting beer. The aroma is very intense and interesting, however the flavor doesn’t quite deliver on the aroma’s promise. Still, a beer worthy of distinction.

Aug 6, 2009 Bottle at a tasting, from iowaherkeye. Sweet pickled aromas with a golden whitish head. Sweetish lambic like flavors. Creamy with goo carbonation. Well balanced and enjoyable. Thanks Joey.

Sep 20, 2005 Pours hazy gold with a huge white head, some effervescence, and a whole lot of lacing. Interesting aroma. Smells like a good Gueuze mixed with an Orval. The main aroma is a funky sourness, but there’s also some citrus and oak. Some phenols come out with a swirl. Tastes a lot like a toned-down Gueuze. There’s a lot of sourness up front and some standard Belgian Ale flavors (cross between an Orval and an Ommegang Rare Vos) backing it up. Nice, subtle oak flavor, too. Very unique. A fuller body would make this one incredible.

Sep 18, 2005 Bottle, pours hazy buttery yellow - I think I got the yeast shot at the bottom. Tart lemony and a little floral aroma. Citrusy and spiced flavors, a little oak, and some strong wine characters. Very acidic and tart. Some funk in there too. I liked this, but this would be hard for me to drink a lot of - just a bit too acidic.

Jan 7, 2009 Updated: Jan 28, 2009bottle thanks to Secret Santa. Batch 3. Pours a faded orange with a huge white head. Nose was of sour lemon. Taste was of sweet, sour apples. Mouthfeel was tart and dry with lots of carbonation. OK, I’ve been trying to get into the sour craze, but just didn’t see it until now. This one was not extremely sour and had plenty of good taste other than just sourness. Of the sour beers I’ve had this one is the best. This one may have converted me. Liked it a lot.
