Bottle. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is slightly funky, peaches, apricots. Taste is funky peach, apricots, spices. High carbonation. Very nice in my opinion, I don’t know why people don’t like it.

This one’s looking at you, Travlr, Bottle in a snifter showing tea brown with two fingers of clean white foam. The nose shows dish detergent (think palmolive). The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. A mess of flavors including the dish detergent flavors, a dairy-like yogurt-like strong tartness, and a very strong bitterness that comes and goes. Not much to like about this beer, but it’s seriously not as bad as I thought.

Bottle at The Sovereign, ordered with much trepidation and people snickering at me. Hazy to cloudy golden color with a greenish hue, big fluffy white head. Aroma of woodruff and absinthe. Taste is dirty wormwood. Awful.

Beer Table To Go, NYC bottle: pours murky grey orange with a big fluffy head. Aroma is weird funk, really weird, flowers, vinegar, yeast, and all sorts of other weird things. Taste is strange and not quite good. That said, I do not think this is nearly as bad as the others have said. Really, there are more undrinkable IPAs out there with rather high ratings. Still, this is weird and I can easily see this being drainpour for some.

Bottle. Pours golden amber with a white head. Aroma of herbs, strawberries and lemon. Odd bitter and sour, very light for the abv.

Bottle. Strange blonde with a distinct amoniac sourness, a cellar like dullness, some spices and heavy citrus notes.

Bottled 12/2015, drunk 6/4/16 at OEC.
Usual De Dolle bottled pour; big, foamy, white head shows moderately-strong to strong retention atop a bright, blonde body that shows good clarity.
So this is a blend of lemon oil and arabier that has an acetobacter infection. Well, it doesn’t smell repulsive (wait til the flavor) but it certainly smells astringently spiced and very artificial. Like a big shot of lavender oil, lavender soap and mild lemon detergent.
Oh good god.....that is vile. Putrid bile flavors combine with artificial lavender-like notes. Ever had infected homebrew?? This is an infected batch of beer just like that and that’s exactly how it tastes. Kudos to Kris for making a buck on this garbage and pawning it off to B. United, but really, this should have gone down the drain. No amount of anything can make this taste good. If youre rating this above a 3, you should quit rating beers because you have no taste.

Small white head over hazy orange beer, well-carbonated. Spicy, pharmaceutical nose, dry exotic herbs, lavender. Bitterish, spicy-pharmaceutical, dried herbs. Soapy, lavender, aloe, etc. Well-carbonated, but the toilet soap-impression gets too heavy to tolerate in the aftertaste. Definitely something wrong. The faint impression in the nose is OK, but the following... Txs to Kris
