Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a thin light yellow head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood and grapefruit, while the flavor is acidic with notes of wood. The acidity burns slightly in the throat.

Hmm, well this is different. First off, I fell in love with the nose, with a nice farmhouse funk rounded out by a very well defined sweet honey aroma that tended floral. The flavor took a u-turn however, with a milder presence of funk and an unusual pickled olive flavor to go with it. Slightly cheesy, like a good blue cheese. Very dry, with a moderately hard acidity: sour but it won’t hurt. Golden orange color with quite a bit of effervescence foaming up in the glass before settling down again quickly. Surprisingly, the palate was not very carbonated, and it sat a bit thick and still on the tongue. Moderately refreshing, too bad it wasn’t hotter today.

Pours deep gold into a Tumbler. No head. Strawberry and mild funk aromas. Slight tingly sweet strawberries upfront which quickly turns to cheesy lambic and then back to a tart strawberry.

Bottle (0.375l): Deep golden, small and stable lacing head; cellary, musty nose with a touch of "Brett"; solid sour flavour with some sweet illusions, light bodied; a taste of srawberries detectable in the heartburning-sourish finish. This is the real thing for purists......

bottle - The cork on my bottle looked much as GarrettB described, so it wasn’t just his. Odd. It poured yellow with no head, few carbonation bubbles visible, and a funky aroma. The flavor has the expected lambic funk with a mildly sweet undercurrent. The lambic aspects clearly dominate this beer. I too would classify it as a gueuze rather than a mead. It seems a touch watery even as it warms, but nevertheless the mead is blended well and the result is enjoyable.

Bottle at Rich O’s Publick House during RBSG Road Trip 2007. Cloudy orange body with a rapidly diminishing frothy white head. Very sweet honey aroma with a sour background. Sweet puckering sour fruit flavor with a light honey background. Fairly high carbonation with a fizzy mouthfeel. Kinda a gimmick brew, but certainly makes a tasty combination.
