330ml bottle. Clear golden amber colour, yellow white foam head and aroma of citrus rind, lemon meringue, candy, funk. Taste is sour, grainy, fruity, with citrusy lemon rind, funk, woody oak and some earthy bitterness. Slick mouthfeel, medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry tart & tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

33cl bottle bought in Brugge, this is a beer I have somehow missed when buying in Belgium over the years. Broached at home on 27th Dec 2015 and poured slowly into a Westmalle chalice, no sediment left the bottle, so I got a clear light golden coloured beer with a thin white head that sadly fell away to a wisp and collar far too quickly. Sour, turned, sort of aroma and taste, certainly different to any other ’Petrus’ beers I have had, even if this is supposed to be the ’Mother Beer’. Glad I found and tried this, but I will not be seeking it out again. Just not my scene at all, I am sure this is going to give me belly ache: scored objectively.

Helder geel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is erg zuur en droog, fruitig met iets van citrus. Veel te zuur om van te genieten.

Bottle at home. One year old bottle. Pours a clear golden amber color with an off-white head. Sour aroma of oak, forest floor, brown sugar, rowanberries, vinegar and apples. The flavor is more sour with lemon juice, crowberries, cigarette, vinegar, and dry oak. Has a slick and sparkly mouth feel, and a medium berry bitterness. A bitter berry sour ale. Feels a bit unbalanced but interesting though.

On tap at Prohibition Pig, Waterbury, VT.
This was poured into a half pint glass of theirs.
The appearance was a soft hazy burnt yellow color with a cap of a white little head.
The smell started off with a big burst of sour lemon rind and softened to a vague overall citrus rind. A light woodiness did open in it as it warmed.
The taste was moderately sour with a light woody sweetness underneath. Its sour lemon in the aftertaste but had a dry citrusy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body with a nice sessionable feel about it. Carbonation runs good and somewhat light.
Overall, as a sour/wild ale, it definitely works, I’d have this one again.
