Bottle - Funky grape, acidity and some apricot notes. Hazy gold orange with a rich white head. Up front tartness, some cheesy fund and apricot. Nice, light, tart and little of the aromatics or herbal notes from the original.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a cloudy orange with large frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong citrus and funk. Medium mouth with nice citrus, funk, tart, really enjoyed this.

The beer pours a dull orange amber color. It’s quite cloudy. The head is smallish and creamy with fine bubbles. Dissipates quickly. The aroma is floral with lacto sourness and a mild oak note. Orange peel, yogurt and flowers. Taste is gently tart with underlying floral sweetness. Tasty stuff. Lots of citrus flavor, oranges and lemons. Medium oak. Earthy saison character in the background. Finishes fairly dry. Gentle, creamy mouthfeel that really adds to the beer. Easy to drink. Lots of flavor. Delicious beer.

Had this at the 2014 RB Pittsburgh Summer Gathering at Horny Devil’s place. Actually it was after the equinox at the beginning of fall, but DILLIGAF. Big thanks to James & Michelle for hosting such a nice spread of quality beers and for this particular beer a GIANT thanks goes out to beerman6686. Slight tart aroma. Cloudy pale with a tad of brown in there. Good sizzle augmented by a slight tart bite. Yes, slight friendly tart nibble. Not a whole lot of bitterness but enough in there to keep you aware this is beer. Overall quite easy going and fun to be with.

Smells incredibly herbal with fruity passion fruit. Very light. Tart finis. Sulphite sort of mouthfeel. Lot of white grapes. it has some interesting rye spice herbal notes going on here.

Bottle courtesy of noodleuser, thank you! Cloidy golden yellow color, bright white head. Aroma of vanilla, peaches soaked in white wine, attic eaves, overripe pears. Taste is softly sour and funky grapefruit, pineapple, dust, white pepper. Deleicious.

750ml bottle pours a hazy, neon orange with some ringing, white head. Nose has plenty of apricot, mild funk, a little dry gin, a little lime zest, a little lemon-lime soda, a little bright saltwater/tonic. Flavor is so solid, tart, lemony, some dandelion, lime, a little briny oyster with lemon, a little mild mustard seed, mild taffy. Clean, bright finish. Not much barrel, but very bright and refreshing.
