Shared 12.7 oz. bottle. Hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma is dark fruits, tart, funky, hints of barnyard. Taste is sour, funky, herbs, yeast, barnyard, grapefruit rind. Has a very long lingering bitter finish. Interesting.

375 ml. Bottle from Berkeley Bowl. It pours a deep orange color with a large, frothy off white head. The aroma has some dill, parsley, lemon, stone fruit and some phenols. The flavor is the same. Strong herbal dill, stone fruit, heavy phenols and bitterness. Pretty funky and wild. Interesting stuff. It reminds me a bit of some Jester King spontaneous beers, but a bit more of the plastic-like phenols and bitterness that makes it kind of a chore to drink.

On tap at Gertrude Hotel, Melbourne: fruity aroma (hints of berry). Pours pale yellow. Very crisp mouthfeel with a sour spritz that is pleasing and surprising. Decent level of balance.

[2/10] Bottle. Just hazy gold, an inch of off-white head. Smells yeasty with biscuits, pine, grass and particularly citrus. There’s some malt sweetness and a yeasty touch but it’s all rather masked by pronounced citrus sourness. Very much in Coopers green territory. [6 3 4 3 11 2.7]Bottled Feb 15. I thought this was the one they were trying to keep "normal" - clearly I haven’t been paying enough attention. Label now features words like _farmhouse_ and _souring_. Amber with a puffy white head that lasts. Smells like lambic - lemon, dough, apricot stones, puke, flowers. Just slightly kefir-slippery, moderate carbonation. Slight sweetness is grainy with some apricot, heavy funk, moderate mouldering lemon sourness. Well, well.

Out of a 330ml bottle on 31/12/2009. Golden brew with a decent head, quite cloudy, with quite a bit of yeast sediment. No strong aroma, just a hint of grass and citrus. Taste wise, it’s very lemony - almost more sour than bitter. It feels a little thin in the mouth. A slightly puzzling, unusual beer, which doesn’t quite hit the mark.
