Säuerlicher Antrunk, vollmundig, süffig. Hell, rund fruchtig, dann wird die Säure eher trocken, etwas Orange. Es fehlt etwas Pepp, insgesamt aber gut. 11/10/11/9/7/10

Orangish color with a white head with very short duration, high carbonation. Notes of bretts, some cheese and vinegar notes. Flavor is the most acidic in comparison with other two Phy and Sigma. Notes of white dry wine with yeasty notes. acidic final with good duration. Very enjoyable.

Bottle, threatened to gush. Hazy gold with a huge white head that crackles away to a fat coat in a minute. Aroma of under ripe apricots, damp hay, lemons, flowers. Medium carbonation. Fruity with apricots and sharpish lemon, cider. Quite sour, not slippery. Some floral and stemmy notes at the end. Dry finish with a little bitterness. Not a lot of depth but liked the balance of flavours.

Bottle. Hazy dark golden with big head that disappears completely within a minute. Sour bread, very grainy with some sweet biscuits, lots of lemon, cider vinegar, grapes, apple and unripe apricots. Light sweet and above medium sour. Medium bodied with long lasting dry sourness. Pretty nice stuff, better than commercialized geuzes.

Hazy deep gold beer, small cream colour head. Palate is dry and crisp. Light sourness with a wet wood tone but it lacks the lemon acid and dried fruits of geueze. Mild citrus and some winey sourness. Light crisp finish with more mild sourness and a little citric peel bitterness. Not bad at all.

It pours a clear that turns hazy light yellow orange colour with 2 or more fingers of foam on my initial pour. Kudos to the BAs that mentioned it was a gusher...I put it and pulled it from the fridge.
Funk and lemon citrus is big on my nose initially but also continuously.
After getting over the niceness of the smell, I dove in to taste it. Funky notes, lots of lemon citrus and an overall sourness that leans more to the vinegar side than the fruity side, to my palate. It works for me and the 6% abv is more than comforting for me for the style.
Medium body, above medium carbonation, good mouthfeel.
We got a bunch of this in town and seeing as the price isn’t unreasonable, I forget how much but under $6 a bottle I believe, I will get more. I see that it isn’t all that widely distributed yet too. Give it a go.
