Very nice off-cloudy golden yellow. fizzy head fades fast slight fecal aroma, some golden crispy apple and head cheese golden apples and pears, porta john grape skins. Very tart, almost too sour but it’s quite nice. acetic notes hit at the back end. this reminds me more of a saison that got a nice lacto injection later in its life. I like it and wish I could craft one myself

Bottle from international trade; hazy orange pour with white head, funky aroma, sour taste with lively citrus, a bit of coconut not in your face sour but really glorious farmhouse funk.

Vintage 06-11 bottle, shared by badnewsbeers. Hazy, straw-yellow body, thin ring of off-white carbonation. Sour, dusty nose with a peach/apricot sweetness and hints of spice. Sour body, a tad funky and cobwebby, with peach, peach pit, lemon, and grass. Pretty good.

Bottle shared at CBC - Clerkenwell, London. Many thanks to Sledutah for sharing this special beer! Pours cloudy yellow with a fine, white foam head. Tangy lemon aroma, citric and lactic. Medium sweet flavor with faint grass, citric bite, mild funk. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Good sour tang to finish with light grass and lemon citrus. Incredibly well balanced and delicious. I’m not sure my rate conveys just how awesome this beer was, so I’ll just say it: this beer was awesome.
