[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/2/2007 1:35:40 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of Boboski: Poured a clear golden color ale with a big foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of barnyard and funk is dominating and enjoyable but maybe a bit strange. Taste is way too strong on the barnyard with what I can only describe as cat litter (not that I have ever tasted it but you get the idea). I usually am a big fan of sour, tart and funky beer but this goes to a level that I am either not ready for or maybe the brewer screw-up something. I finally had to drain pour this one."

[2] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (11/26/2006 4:54:23 PM)
"Pours a clear gold except for the last glass. Excellent, rocky white head. There’s a bit of the farmyard funk, but almost none of the sourness I expected. It’s got a significant hop bite in the back that I definitely wasn’t expecting and it’s quite dry. Interesting beer."

[4] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/7/2006 12:22:05 AM)
"Pig Nun - Poured a hazy golden color, much like a wheat type base. The aroma was of floral and candy cherries. The flavor was comparable, some tart and funkiness in there, with candy apples and cherries, and an odd floral aspect. A peppery finish emerged as it warmed. The mouthfeel was of basic carbonation and a funky sweetness in the finish.
Demon Fish? (Some creature with a dude wearing black lying on top with hands folded and praying) - Poured a hazy golden color, nice initial head, good lacing. The aroma was funky, light cherries, wheaty, horseblankets. The flavor had some fruity notes, cherries, grapes, some floral notes, was a little tart, a little bitter, finishing somewhat bready, hoppy, and dry."

"Brewtopia’04. This was from the brown labeled bottle - a bottle which had been open for a few hours. Apple pie and tropical fruit aromas mix with stinky sock and BO. Fruity, barnyard flavor is not dry."
