JoeMcPhee traded me half his glass for half of my Dieu du Ciel Aphrodisiaque... sucker. Color of the beer is golden, cannot see through it yet its glowing and shiny like mother nature smiling down on her children. Aroma is lightly tart, don’t care if this is purposeful but I love it (Joe just did not get it). Then its followed by sweet candi sugar and yeasty dough. Taste is similar but less sweet and less tart. Has more earthy Belgian yeast character. A nice soft mouthfeel with reduced carbonation.
Wine glass pour off tap at Spuyten Duyvil. 8/4/7/3/16.
750mL bottle, newest batch. This is different, not a sour brew but an actual tripel. BIGGEST GUSHER EVER! Be careful, of course this makes for a serious head and lacing. Beautiful glowing golden body. Flows like a very authentic tripel, sweet, earthy, dough. Very nice stuff outside of the exploding beer. Good thicker, smooth mouthfeel. 8/4/8/4/16

This beer is freaking awesome. Pours a thick golden color, full of light but cannot see through it at all. Aroma is sour with white grape skins fruit-peach vinegar. Very wild and lambic-esque. Taste is tart with lemon and light doughy yeastiness. Think mineral tart yeastiness. Has a freshly opened seltzer feel, all spiky. It’s a medium-light body offset by a strong carbonation. A very awesome beer.
Tap at Spuyten Duyvil, wine house glass.

Cask and Spuyten Duyvil - a rather subdued and one-dimensional flemish red - not particularly sour, just a bit of tart cherry skins and pits - light grain flavor, and some earthy notes - not a whole lot going on, but light and refreshing - probably good "gateway" flemish red.

Tap at Blind Tiger (and then later in the day at The Diamond - yea, I liked this beer) - hazy glowing orange beer - zero head - a ind of oily film floating on top - funky, semi-sour, barnyardy, wild, flemish sour sort of aroma, with notes of peach - soft and earthy - very tangy, with medium tartness - apple skins and slight white wine grapes - light funkiness - some grainy notes near the end - the finish has some phenolics and apple skin/cider flavors - unique and tasty.

First beer of a long day of drinking. Shared by Jimmack @ his Invitational’07. Love the cork and wire 750ml with no label, really adds a level of intrigue. Poured with a clear golden color with visible carbonation. Aroma is strong herbal-yeasty, earthy and a root-vegetable sweetness. Taste is similar with light esters and citrus. A stingy/spiky mouthfeel with a grassy aftertaste.

Cask at Bobbique - a rather odd way to serve a maibock, but I’ll allow it - fairly dark copper for the style, with a rather small head, especially for a cask beer - fruity and floral aroma, with some grassy, earthy hints around the edges - pretty sweet, even for the style, with flavors of caramel, raisins, cherries - lingering raw cane sugar sweetness through the finish - a decent attempt, but a tad too sweet.
