Thanks to a good guy, LtDan! I am VERY excited to try this again on tap this weekend (if the workers at the Bruery don’t drink it all...again!). Pours with a tan head that sticks for a while over a beautiful deep brown to red body. Aroma of red wine, light acetic acid, beautiful sourness and some perfumey floral notes. Taste is tart to sour with a light sweetness. I really do find my self preferring American style flemish reds over the meaty-vinegary real Belgian examples (see Duchess and Monks Cafe). Good tartness, with some nice wine barrel backing. Medium effervescence. I really can’t help thinking to my self that this is La Folie: Light version (I am speaking about a decently aged 750ml, not the new 22oz, which this blows away). This beer is still young, and I can see it reaching that level of amazingness in a year or so. In short, probably the second best American made Flemish Red ever made (behind the old La Folie’s...absolutely blows the new La Folie’s and Dissident, et al, out of the water). THIS STUFF HAS SERIOUS POTENTIAL!

Bottle. Dark organge color, creamy and long lasting white head. Fruity and spicy aroma. Notes of citrus, orange, brett yeast, clove and some hops. Full flavored! Orange, "spicy banana", vanilla, Bitter hop/brett thing going on in the aftertaste. Complex and refreshing beer.

Bottle from NickD717, thanks! Lemon, dust, apple and salt in the aroma. Lemon and apple in the tart flavor. Hints of melon and dust. Amazing drinkability. Thin, but lots of flavor. Very well made Berliner type weisse.

750ml bottle shared at the DC Local tasting. Pours a crystal clear, straw yellow with a nearly clear, slightly cloudy head. Tart aroma, lemons, a bit of a buttery aroma. Flavor is crisp and tart, lemons, grass. Dry finish. Nice and refreshing but a little simple.

750 mL bottle courtesy of Skyview. Thanks! Pours a hazy lemon yellow color with a moderate fizzy head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is bready and yeasty with a bit of grassy and a tart finish. Some nutty and husky notes as well. Taste is citrus, bread, grass. Tart throughout. A bit on the thin side. Smooth.

Courtesy of fogdog. Pours murky white rice water with white head. The aroma is a nice mix of grains, funk, some tartness and then a sense of sweet malts. The taste is crisp and fresh with some lemon acidity, a bit of yeast, some watery sweetness, a tad more tartness and then it seem to head into some grainy malts. Nice stuff.

750 ml. Cloudy, deep golden body. Huge, frothy white head, mostly lasting. The aroma is sweet and funky with notes of spice — mustiness, clove, toasted bread, wood, orange, alcohol. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, moderately bitter and lightly acidic. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Medium to full body, velvety texture and lively carbonation. Sweet, almost sugary, with a slight vinegary taste that sits behind the lasting bitterness. Peppery alcohol, too. The brett is there, but not a big part of the beer. Too sweet and too much alcohol for a saison. Still, it gets points because it is an interesting beer and enjoyable.

Bottle. Poured a hazy pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma was full of tart lemony notes. Flavor was sweet like lemonade with a slightly winey tartness that didn’t match the lemonade flavor that much. It was very light on the tongue.

An opaque yelllow beer with a tall whie head. Huge pieces of yeast and protein, some of the biggest I have ever seen in a beer, the size of dime. Lots of wheat. Some citrus, and grains of paradise.
