This bottle is about 2 years old - I have been sitting on for reasons unknown - I have tried to trade it at least twice, and ever time the trade falls through - I have planned to share it with people on several occasions, but every time I considered it, the very people I was intending to share it with somehow magically sample a bottle of it somewhere else - the message is clear: "just drink the fucking beer, asshole" - and so, here we go - pour is effervescent, clear gold - pours with a loud gush, kicking up a huge head, but this completely dissipates in less than a minute - smells like lemon, lacto, horse blanket, leather, band-aid - underneath this, however, is some very subtle sweetness and notes of lavender - the taste is disappointingly mild compared to the aroma - tastes like a weak, lightly bretty Berliner Weisse, or a watered down Brett saison - mild acidity - a touch of honey and lavender - subtle touches of Brett funkiness, citrus - a light bit of leather - there is quite a bit here, but it is all too understated, bordering on downright bland - I don’t dislike it, it’s just watery and weak - I am fine with subtle, but not when it is so subtle that it makes the experience uninteresting and forgettable.

Sample from a bottle from an unknown source at One Funky Afternoon at Jackie O’s on 04/02/2011: The beer is a hazy yellow color with a medium eggshell white head that diminishes steadily. Thin rings of lacing. Aroma of citrus, brett and sweet malt. Medium body with a moderately sour brett character and notes of citrus, malt and grass. The finish is mildly sour with a tart fruit aftertaste. Above average overall.

750 ml bottle from Doodler. Nose of yeast, a hint of funky horseblanket, light cloves, and lightly caramelized sugar. Murky lemon yellow with a medium pale yellow head. Flavor is lightly spicy cloves and corriander, light sweetness, a hint of white peppery tartness, and yeasty funkiness. Finish is slightly sweet.

750ml bottle pours a hazy, yellow gold with a thin, bright white head. Nice nose, bright citrus, horsey but not oppressive, floral, herbal. Flavor is sweet, hay, grass, yeast, lemon lime soda, a little farmyard. Medium bodied, bright, refreshing finish.

750 ml bottle courtesy of BeerandBlues2, thank you sir! Very light yellow color, solid white head. Aroma of dusty lemon. Taste is sour and bitter, like a lidocaine troche.

750mL bottle shared by Tim, courtesy of alagnak. This is an acetic beer, but its doable for me. it is a thick pale golden color that one cannot see through yet it still radiates. Aroma is strong brett and even stronger acetone. I can smell cheese. Flavor is watery-thick-lemon. Its not watery but watery lemon, not watery beer. Oh and there is acetone and brett, so it works well enough,

bottle shared by beerlando...thanks! Pours hazy gold with a thin white ring of head. Aroma is sour peach, vinegar, and light ammonia. This tasted very watered down, or maybe just a mellow sour? Smarties candies and again peach and apple skin with light funk.
