Bottle with a big Sigma on the front, surprise surprise. Dark brown, nice fine-bubbled but small head. High carbonation as it was a bit of a fountain. Butterscotch caramel aroma, smells complex. Sweet-and-sour on the tongue, a bit of light roast plus some umami notes. Very complex with a whole plotline of flavors one after the other. With dried hop flowers, very inventive ingredient use! ;-)

A smooth clean tart sourness while remaining true to balance, the color gives just a mild roasty ale character to add to the uniqueness. Online Etre bier

Bottle. Weirder. Smells smoky, sweet and sour, minerals. Treacle and caramel. Sour and smoky. My first experience of that. Bit of chocolate with the yeast. All over the place but charming for it.

Bottle. Dark brown color. no head. Caramel and lemon in the aroma. Sourish flavor with lemon and caramel. Hint of leather. Good mix of sweet and sour, but surprisingly lacking in depth.

hazy dark brown colour, no head at all (only some minimal lacing, which disappears fully within a minute); aroma of acetic acid, lemon,some acetone and hints of fruitiness; taste is completely dominated by acetic acid - it is disturbingly intensive...if it was a bit less intensive, those sour cherry and woody-tannin notes which are currently almost fully covered by sourness could be enjoyed, too...unfortunately it is not the case and besides the acetic acid, only some citric acid and acetone can be felt...too much for me, definitely
