Gediegen hopfiger Geruch mit seichter Säuerlichkeit. Im Antrunk bitter, der hier nur spärlich vorhandenen Hopfen weißt noch deutlichere Altersspuren als im Geruch aus und ist weitestgehend erschlafft. So regiert die säuerlich angehauchte Bitterkeit, die dann im Mittelteil doch noch hopfige Spuren aufbringt. Trocken, in sehr milden Grundzügen Geuze-artig. Langer herber Ausklang mit der selben milden Würzigkeit, die schon im Antrunk in gleicher Intensität vorhanden war. Vielen Dank an den Doppelbock für den gemeinsamen Test! 8/10/9/10/11/10

A careful pour produces a clear golden amber colored elixir with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly but leaves a cap on top and some lacing on the sides. Smells of citrus and phenolics, plums, spicy yeast and funk. Taste is tart and fruity with a barnyard edge. Finishes sweet with a bit of astringency and leaves a lingering tart bitterness on the tongue. Crisp carbonation, sticky mouthfeel, medium to thick body. Nice little saison, bier de garde. Tart and fruity I enjoyed this one. If only it wasn’t so pricey.

2006 vintage, 750ml bottle. Pours a hazy, burnt orange with a creamy, white head. Nose is cheesy, spicy, brett, toast, herbs. Flavor is tart, cherries, lemon, herbs. Medium bodied, tart finish. Starting to mellow just a touch.

Au fût @ RedLight RedLight, Orlando, cuvée 2006. Quelle chance d’avoir pu déguster cette merveille à la pression et avec qcq années. Bizarre que elle soit référencée comme IPA, mais elle fut néanmoins un régal pour les papilles. Couleur est orange claire avec une palette de couleur allant vers l’orange sanguin / chair de pamplemousse. Mousse est épaisse et blanche. Arôme est aigre, note de vinaigre, fruité avec pas mal d’aromate sans pour cela trop noter le houblon. Palais garde cet aspect de vinaigre (moyen), pamplemousse, sec en bouche avec un fini mi-tropical qui est complémenter par cette aigreur. Possibilité d’y noter des traces de bois, peut être âgée en tonneaux de chêne? A déguster.

Oh wow, really this old? Well, picked up a bottle - unaware of what it was. Poured a copper color, slightly cloudy, thick head. Yeast, spices, etc. Flavor was alright - though a bit spicy for my likes.

Courtesy of the one and only Gillard. It pours hazy copper with orange hues and loose thin off white head. The aroma is a bit musty with malts, spicy hops, dark berry fruitiness and smooth sweet sweetness. The taste is a bit bright with a mix of berry sweetness and tartness as well as caramel candy. The finish fades away with the aid of modest berry tartness.

5th July 2008. Cloudy brown beer. Strong orange and grapefruit with a little spice. Dry zesty finish. Just a shade too sour to be great.

33 cL swingtop from Once Upon a Vine South, Richmond, VA. Pours a fairly murky yellow-brown color with white floaties, some of them fairly large. Medium head with decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is citrus, light funk and light hop notes. Taste is quite funky with huge citrus notes, caramel and a slightly bitter, minty, leafy hop note in the finish. Some pineapple, berry and other fruits. Medium bodied. Just like most of their brews this one is odd, interesting and quite good.
