A tart and refreshing barrel-aged blonde ale spiced with orange peel and coriander. The combination of spices, oak aging, and bottle-conditioning creates a unique flavor experience that seems part beer, part wine, and part cider even though it is made with one hundred percent malted barley.

Dog Days of Summer Gathering, thanks Beerlando. Blue label 750ml as Divette. Light amber, white head. light oaky aroma and flavors, yeasty, some brett, light spices; coriander and malts. Medium carbonation. Mouthfeel is thin and blends perfectly with the barrel aging that is not overpowering.

Bottle. Poured a bit of a dark gold with an extremely thick head that lasts throughout the beer and had an awkward lacing. Aroma had nice sour note with a bit of orange and coriander. Flavor started a bit watered down but finished with an nice sour and coriander combo.

2006 Bottle from bu11zeye. Pours with a small off-white head that goes. Good Lacing and a hazy golden body. Aroma is a little bit sour with pepper, ginger, coriander, some grapee tannins and bread. Tastee is sour and a bit peppery with corriander. Fruity, sweet and sour twang. Lightly fizzy and dry. Very drinkable, would love to have more.

really glad I got to try this, shared by notalush, thanks Brandon. Its a weird beer and I understand why JoeMcPhee did not like it. I took the rest of his glass and as I kept drinking it the better it got. Cloudy orange color with almost no head. Aroma is sour tangerine, some paint thinner and orage slices. Taste is lightly sour with faint vinegar. Its like orange-vinegar with light acidity. Its not super sour or anything and got more sour as I got some of the end of the bottle. It came out a bit crappy but as it breathed the craziness into a nice fruit sour with acidity.
750mL 2006 bottle, Maredsous chalice.

2006 bottle - cloudy golden beer - semi-tart and acidic aroma, with mild funk, yogurt, some citrus fruit - very acidic up front, and through most of the flavor, actually - the acidity overpowers a lot of the other character - bone dry throughout - some citrus and pear are apparent, as well as a moderate funkiness that comes through mostly in the finish - once the palate adjusts, the acidity is more bearable, and the earthy, funky character is more easy to appreciate - a decent sour ale.

tap at the brewpub - Pours dark gold with a lingering, thin head. The aroma has lots of citrus, orange in particular, and a hint of coriander. The flavor is sweet malt, some yeast, and mild spices especially in the finish. The body is fairly light and the finish is sweet. It might have a little too much orange.

Sample at the brewpub: On the board as a "secret beer". Pours a clear dark golden color with a medium white head that has good staying power. Spotty lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops, spice and yeast. Light-bodied and effervescent with a good blend of hops, spice and earthy malt flavors. Some yeast is present in the flavor as well. The finish is mildly bitter and citrusy. Well-rounded and pretty easy to drink all in all.
