Bottle, once bought at Erzbierschof Liebefeld, bottled 03/11/14. Pours clear amber, but a huge gusher. Slightly oxidized, but aroma is otherwise little stables and funk, flowers. Body is medium, quite bitter, but with a decent sweetness. Super balanced, beautiful fruit. Medium fruity palate. Light, refreshing, yet complex and interesting. Very good.

Pours cloudy orange, some beige foam that is coming down slowly. Aroma is autumny, nice colored leaves, apple peels and yes, I am getting also tropical fruits, papaya and a bit of mango. Little horse blanket from the brett. Taste is a bit prickly bitter and sourness is also strong. Apple peel bitterness, if it makes any sense. Would be just perfect with lemon tart. Body has become a bit watery with time but still great.

Hazy light medium amber. Sour nose with bread and the spice rack has been dumped in with lots of grains of paradise, and fennel I think. Sour mouth, tons of spicy with aggressive bitter finish. Very interesting but a but all over the place. Lots of fennel finish. Interesting.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle with a 5/18/2011 date. Aroma is bright and fruity with citrus, tropical fruit and some stone fruit. A bit of a sweet, malt note with some caramel and cracker malt notes. A light musty note. Faint phenolic notes with down coriander and grains of paradise. Pours a somewhat bright, dark copper color with a medium large, thick white head that slowly recedes to a thin film that lingers in clumps in the center. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a bit of honey and some light cracker malt notes. Medium light acidity with some moderate citrus and tropical fruit. Faint stone fruit notes. Some medium light phenolics with coriander and grains of paradise. Light bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and super soft and silky with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, the age has added some maltiness, but it’s still a bright, fruity beer. Perhaps a but muted due to age. Mouthfeel is pretty amazing though; super soft and creamy.
