Bottle during Max’s 72 Hour Belgian Beer Fest. Can’t believe I got to have this! Hazy amber pour. Nose is very sour with tart fruits notes and funk. Tart fruits, funky yeast notes, damp wood, wet earth and faint cat urine. Some sweat as well. Taste was surprisingly gueuze-like at times. Body is dry, slightly acidic with some astringency. Ends with more tart fruit notes, damp basement, vinegar, and funky yeast. Surprised this isn’t listed as a sour ale because my bottle most certainly was. Delicious and a nice change of pace during the festival. I WANT MORE!

Oct 6, 2008 Tasted shortly after Cantillon Kriek which was so sour that my tastebuddy had to give up on it. Clear golden with a rich white head. Aroma of citrus tart berries and barnyard. Flavor is medium acidic and seem like a good beer to serve for a sour beginner. Again with lots of citrus and some wet horse.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottled. Very light in body, peachy, lacto. Some fresh dough, some granny smith apples. The body is quite lovely and this is easy drinking, though there is a muddy note towards the finish that is a bit odd. Very reminiscent of a good berliner weisse. Nicely done stuff here. Definitely not an ager.
