This slightly sour blonde is the result of a unique experimental combination of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Pediococus Cerivisae from Wyeast Laboratories.

Cloudy golden with a disappearing head. Aroma is dominated by the Brett, grapefruit, leather and wood with some sweeter fruit notes too. Flavour is very sour, lemon juice and some wooden notes, like fresh beechwood. It’s a nice flavour, very drinkable, but not a lot of complexity though.

Cloudy amber color, dull; medium sized head, creamy and persistent. Interesting aroma, a bit malty, sweet, flowery, with the Bretts. The flavor is an interesting crossover between a fresh Belgian Ale and a Lambic; the mouthfeel is smoother in the front and drier later, malinly when a citrusy flavor comes in (lemon), and the lemon dominates the final. Very good.

Thanks to mcbackus for this - cloudy blonde beer, with a small ring of lace - well-developed brett funk in the aroma, with a lot of musky character, slightly apple-ish acidic smells, a faint hint of sweetness underneath - very lively carbonation in the mouth - this, coupled with the dryness and moderate acidity gives it a very champaign-like feel - medium gueuze-ish funk - white wine grape fruitiness - what sweetness there may once have been has completely dried out - light, refreshing, and well-balanced - why is this not listed as a sour ale?

Orange color, a bit hazy, no head. Sourish, Brettanomyces and grapefruit aroma. Sourish, fruity, grapefruity brew with brett and raw gooseberry notes. Almost light session lambic. Very tasty.

11.2oz bottle purchased at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore. Very cloudy, yellow, orange body with a cloudy white head. Smells sour, funky, with hay, perfume, lemons and plenty of yeast. You can really sense the Brett in both aroma and flavor. Flavor has tons of fruit though, lemons, grapefruit, grapes, pears, granny smith apples with some barnyard funk along with it. Some lasting citrus with extra carbonation. Smooth and drinkable and a funky twist produces a non-traditional Belgian beer.

(Bottle at Pikkulintu on 2008-05-15) Golden colour. Hazy. Hardly any head. Sour nose. Acidic palate but no fizziness. Fruity taste. Sour but not as sour as some lambics. Nice.

Bottled. This beer is really weird to me, when I know what I drink, I really like it and buy many bottles in Ølbutikken, but then Papsø served it for me blind and I gave it a 2.4 (5/3/4/3/9), since I thougt it was an infected beer, not supposed to taste like this.
A hazy dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is acidic with notes of brettanomyces, citrus and other fruits on a weak malty back ground. The flavor is lovely acidic (when I know what I’m drinking) leaving a tart note on the palate and tongue, combined with notes of brettanomyces, citrus, barnyard, lactic acid, and straw.
