Bottle at GABF. Pours a hazy yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is strong lemon zest, funk, oak, orange peel. Thin body, tart lemon, oak, light funk, really enjoyed this.

Yeah, this is good stuff. Shared by Andrew. Aging well with lemon centric and funky lightly bretty aspects not heavily carb tart finish no acetic acid just nice beer with lemon tea Citrus aspects. I could drink this afaun, not much to complain about.

375 mL bottle poured. Huge thanks to Tim for the bottle. Completing my quest to try this elusive series of beers from my favorite brewery. Clear golden pour with an active carb, and thick foam head. Big herbal nose to it. Definitely shows the Buddha hand. Flavor is lemon front, herbal, cool, almost minty. Orange and lemon constant. Herbal element makes this great. Good sour consistency throughout. 7/10 in sourness. Never had a beer like this. Herbal sour. Delicious to say the least.

375mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Nose is dominated by loads of citrus fruits, lemons especially and a touch of orange, with oak and maybe a subtle hint of white wine. Very complex, hugely citric but in a good way and only too drinkable. Excellent stuff.

Small, white head over clear orange beer; end of bottle deposit loosening. Vinous, oranges & lactic acid, preserved citrus. Citrus, lemons, faint sweetness (as dates?). Lipsmacking sourness, but not really much depth. Dry, dry-out effect, finish is slighlty empty. Quite nice, but the nose promised much more complexity than it really offers. Many thanks to M & L V!

Decent clarity. Brown orange color. The nose is very clean. Nice orange and clove with a touch of lemon. This is really good. It’s like drinking beer lemonade with some sort of lime and OJ finish. Mineral taste present. Really nice body.

Pretty sure this is the one I had. Hazy light tan. Fresh, lemony, vinous...really interesting nose. Tastes lemony, a bit footy yeast, and a hint of lemon. The taste isn’t as clean as the nose, but there’s a nice tartness late that aims ambitious.

Sampled at GABF 2013. Pours a clear gold with some filmy, white head. Nose has some spice, some funk, pith, pepper, some vitamin C tablet. Flavor is the same, peppery, lemon, malt, pithy, spice. Balanced finish.

Bottle. From notes. Citrusy and yeasty with a good dose of funk. Enjoyable. Would love to try it again.
