decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Aug 7, 2009 Slighty hazed god with a light head and lace. Very sour yeasty aroma. Very hard sour flavor. A bit thin and watery as well. brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Jul 14, 2009 Sampled at Noog 5. Bottle 978/1126. Lightly hazy orange pour that was quenching in appearance with no head. Floral, fruity aroma that is very obviously going to give up the sour. Tart fruit flavor that manages to hang on to the floral side of things. A bit earthy but the prior flavors dominate. A very light sweetness that is on the “wild” side of things. A bit vinuous as well. Wet mouth feel with a crisp finish. One of the surprises of the evening for me. Very enjoyable. lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jul 8, 2009 Noogfest High 5. Sample from a bottle thanks to heemer77. Hazy orange, thin white ring. Aroma is tart, lemony, oranges. Taste is lemony tart, a little off taste at the finish, but solid. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jul 8, 2009 @Noogfest High5 Thanks heemer77-750ml bottle #978 of 1126-pours no head and yellow/gold color.

Poured yellow orange color with a moderate frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy citrus and fruit aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy complex sweet & sour flavor with a medium citrus sour & sweet finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met.
