Bottle @ Armin’s house. Somewhat cloudy, reddish orange appearance with an off white head. Honey, rich orange citrusy, bretty, tart lemon aroma. A bit cloying, thick lemon citrusy, bretty, fairly tart, pineapple, tangy, sweet, belgian yeasty flavor. Fun brew but not worth the $17.99 price tag.

2008 Bottle #954 courtesy of a traveling coworker. Cloudy orange-gold pour with a medium thin bone white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Citrus, oak and sweet honey in the nose. Full-bodied with a slightly sour citrus character and flavors of sweet malt, oak and honey. The finish is tart and fruity. Good brew all around.

Alkoholisch kirschiger Antrunk, dunkel. Das dunkle Kirscharoma setzt sich fort, es folgt eine leichte Herbe. Abgesehen vom Alkohol spritzig, leicht malzig, vollmundig. Wenig holzig, zum Ende schwerer und deutlich weniger süffig. Vielen Dank an DerDoppelbock für das Bier! 7/9/9/10//9

sampled during the 2011 RBWG weekend pours hazy and murky golden brown with a medium off white head. Aroma is sour grape and vinous with champagne yeast aromas. Flavor is sour apple, loads of wood, oak, maple. Ends mellow with only a slightly tart apple skin note.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks. Poured a cloudy deep gold with a white head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma was full of sour fruit with some honey and a hint of oak. Flavor was similar with a sour base with some notes of oak, honey and a bit of bread.

Courtesy of jdubFL. Pours murky deep gold with off white head. The aroma has tart to crushed aspirin like notes with poopie moldy dark fruitiness too. The flavor is pretty smooth to start giving up rolling pulses of berry fruit and dark fruitiness. It then slides into growing levels of tartness. It finishes dry. Nice balanced brew.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a small off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt, brett, and a bit of bourbon. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, wood, brett, and bourbon. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
