Big thanks to SoLan for sharing this one. Poured a cloudy amber with a thin white layer of head. Lightly funky aroma, almost a little leathery. Taste is lightly sweet and spicy with a some tart funkiness on the dry finish. Smooth palalte. Another quality SH brew.

Courtesy SocialistLan. Pours a hazy, murky orange Aroma is tart, herbal and floral. A predominant citric note is prevalent. Flavor is tart and crisp, with a lemon zest type flavor. Very nice....

Had at Logan’s Oceanside beer tasting with AlohaC, and Hair, and Matt, and Ken, and Bill, and others. A nice treat. Cloudy yellow color. An excellently pleasant little sour, but a little more sweet. Beautiful beer.8,4,9,3,18:4.2 Rerate at WeeHeavy’s: 8,3,8,3,17:3.9

Thanks to eyedrinkale. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium creamy white head. Aroma of mixed citrus, floral notes, tart wheat, some candy sweetness. Flavor of tart wheat, lemon, honey, kind of musty and dry.

2005 bottle form Beastiefan. Tart, slightly vinegary aroma. Dry bread, a touch of burnt toast. Decent head on the pour after 2 years. Flavor profile absolutely nails the BdG style, with slightly funky florals, pungent yeastiness, slightly biting, old hop flavor. This has soured up a little bit over the years. Very drinkable, very enjoyable. Thanks, Eugene!

Hazy dark orange pour with a huge yeast cloud in suspension. A small, creamy and very tightly compacted off-white head forms and remains throughout. Light sheets of drooping lacing. Tons of sediment particles. The aroma is nicely spiced and well-rounded. Notes of coriander, Belgian yeast, noble hops, grassy plains, herb gardens, flowers in bloom, very sweet malt and peach nectar. Alcohol is undetectable. No flaws noted, no DMS, no diacetyl. Just a soft aroma of springtime. The flavor is lightly bitter, very earthy and herbal, with additions of sweet and sour fruits and rustic barnyard nuances. Hops in the aroma combine with ample but never excessive yeastiness to create a soft, succulent blend of spices. Acidity is reserved until the country-feeling finish, where bitterness and drying start to come into play. the length of the finish is superb; it’s also a very clean and caressing style of earthiness, leaving lingering floral hints and touches of sweet caramel. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with soft carbonation that’s flows freely and keeps the whole experience very upbeat. Exceptionally creamy and balanced, never bogged down by any weighty, unneccessary, overdone additions. This is a fantastic blend of hops, malt and yeast. Everything is plentiful yet reserved in it’s agression, resulting in a feeling of authenticity and a true love and skill in brewing this difficult to master style. A wonderful beer, brewed with a degree of craftsmanship that should render any fan of the style speechless. At least, speechless long enough to soak in all these wonderful subtleties.
