Bottle shared at "Tokyo Ratebeer Dark Tickers of The World Unite or AJB tasting volume 1" event. Thanks Jay! Huge lacto nose with white grapefruit and lemon notes. Extremely tart and sour on the palate with loads of citric acid and lacto. Almost like a white grapefruit juice with the mouthfeel. Intensely dry, tart finish that lingers. Some brett noticeable on the finish. Lots of citric acid throughout though.

Thanks to Kraddel. 750 ml. bottle. Full glass was enough for me. Batch 2. Bottled on 11/12/2012. Bottle nr. 530. Hazy, lightly murky apricot with zero head. Nose is big, lactic, yoghurt, touch spoiled yoghurt, mineral, gastric acid, light vomit. Taste is mineral, lactic, spoiled yoghurt, rotting apricot (fruit is barely there at first, you get some light notes at the bottom of the bottle), mineral, lactic, sparkling, gastric acid taste, very sour lemon finish. Tad sparkling & mineral body. I have had “AC Golden Hidden Barrel Blackberry” & it was delicious but I have no idea what this is or what they were going for. This isn’t how a sour beer is supposed to be. I would think that MillerCoors has enough money, brewers, equipment etc. to come up with something better than this. I do think that a lot of USA concumers will drink anything as long as it is sour. This is a million miles away from Fou’ Foune.

Pours unclear yellow, no real head. Smell is sharp sourness ( bleach, even) and of course fruits. Taste is sweet, fruity ( slightly soapy) some dry wood aspect. An arteficialcharacter to it. Bit harsh. Ok, but nothing more than that

Sample at the 2014 Infected Chimipalooza on 11/01/2014. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a thin white head that dissipates to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of apricots, brett and oak. Light-bodied with flavors of funky apricots, brett yeast and oak. The finish is moderately tart with an apricot aftertaste. Pretty good beer overall, and proof that the big breweries can make a decent beer if they want.

Batch 1 bottle thanks to Tom. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with small off white head. The aroma is strong apricot, oak, brett, yeast. Sour as hell, like an apricot warhead. Yes

75cl bottle, splt with Tomaz, courtesy of Pierre. Bottled 04/12/2012, batch#2. Wow, Coors ... seriously? Couleur orangée-dorée présentant un léger voile brumeux, le col est blanc qui disparait assez vite. Arôme restitue parfaitement les abricots avec un bouquet laissant pointer des notes boisées, fine aigreur de brett et ce côté fruité fermenté. Le grain est juste présent en rétro-nasal ajoutant ce côté rustique que l’on retrouve dans certaines gueuzes. Palais est très léger, subtile mélangeant allègrement les notes fruitées des abricots avec une pointe épicée de boisé-chêne. La fin de bouche est aigre finement acidulé venant du brett mais également des abricots qui ont donnent ce côté aigret. Note citrique aigre-douce qui jongle en bouche pour un pétillant assez perspicace. Le tout couvre le gorge et descend jusque dans l’estomac. Bière dont l’aigreur n’est pas pour tut le monde, et pourra en rebuter certains.

My first Coors beer in 30 years. Bottle courtesy of forgetfu, thanks! Murky golden color, small white head. Aroma of sour summer fruit. Taste is softly sour fruit juice. Nice.
