Golden pour; small white head. Looks authentic.

Quite a bit of dirty Hanssens-like funk. Almost straight barnyard, horse shit included. Other scents of pineapple, cantaloupe, and honey dew melon.

A leafy/green funk flavor. Definitely dirty/earthy. Lemon acidity and apple tartness. Wonderful american representation of a traditional beer. It isn't quite the same. This bottled release was earthier than what I've had before.

This is a great light sour beer, VERY reminiscent of cantillon. Excellent, the cool ship process obviously makes a huge difference in a sour beer it is just way more composed and delicious.

The look is awesome, nice ring of white fizzy head with a very hazy look to the body.

The smell is great. Earthy, funky, slight stone fruit touches. Great yeasty, semi tart barnyard aroma that translates really well to the taste. Super clean palate with all the funk and fruit of the smell and adds some pepper and citrus rind. Some tropical notes. Very nice touch of sweet to make the funk composed and tight. Nice feel, very nice over the palate with just enough carbo. Awesome stuff!

Well done allagash, keep them coming. It's great how the white pays for such great beers as this.

Batch 3: Thank you Justin for bringing this one out

Wow, this was delicious!!!Extremely cheesy, as if it has been aged for 10 yrs. ...Incredible balance between sour and funk. Probably the best American Geuze i have ever had... Very similar to belgian geuze...

375ml into a 3F taster. Thanks valdieu2!

A: Pours a clear light straw-gold with a decent white head.

S: Pleasantly heavy brett kicks things off in the nose. Horsey, game, light cherry-like acetic note, a bit of mineral and sweet wheat.

T: The taste brings more brett, but it's not as dominant as in the nose. Pineapple, lemon and earthy mineral, light lacto acidity, apricot skin, dry oak, vanilla. It's got a bit of a hard water taste to it.

M: Light-bodied feel. The carbonation is more than slight but fades quickly.

O: This is really nice. Certainly my favorite American spontaneous blend so far, much far ahead of Beatification and Sour Reserve.
