Can anyone tell me by the picture which version of no rinse this bottle is?
 
I would say that's the original version; V.2 bottle was like that but it had the additional gold sticker on it that said "new formula". The v.3 bottles are clear rather than translucent.

Plus that looks old, it doesn't usually fade in the undiluted state, of course, I keep mine in the basement so it's pretty dark.
 
It is probably almost 9 or so years old. Im honestly not even sure what color it was when i got it. Should it still be ok to use?
 
It was blue to begin with, I thought the mixed fade was blamed on the chlorine in the water. It should be fine as long as it smells ok.

9 years ago, sounds like around when it first came out.
 
It doesnt exactly smell the greatest. Kind of has a musty type of smell. What is it supposed to smell like originally?
 
I think you can tell by smelling it ??? I don't think ONR got it's signature scent until v 2.0 ???

That may not be correct - I'm going from memory. Maybe someone can confirm it.
 
I think that's the way v.1 smelled. I remember people complaining that it didn't smell good and Dr. G replied (through some forum intermediary) that he didn't like putting anything in the product that wasn't functional (so maybe he put no color in v.1 either).

I guess enough people complained that he added the mulberry scent starting with v.2. I never had v.1 because I had QEW to use up then.

If it doesn't smell rancid I think you're good to go.
 
I remember the original versions smell to be quite unattractive ... but it worked well and helped to build a whole line of products.
 
I have all 3 Vers. That's V1 according to your pic and my bottle. The smell of all 3 and the color are all slightly different. V1 was medium blue in color, V2 slightly darker, V3 is a paler blue but says New Formula on the bottle.
