Bottle. Batch 3 (Galaxy). Clear light amber liquid with medium to big, firm off-white head. Aroma of mango, fruity funk, barnyard, bread, pine, citrus, grapefruit, tangerine and lemon peel. Smells really nice. Taste is dry and medium bitter with notes of tangerine, mango, bread and barnyard. Light oak. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Really nice. Great hoppiness and funkyness.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with a dense and lacing off-white head. Bretty aroma with quite some citrusy hops up front. Medium body, sweet fruitiness, rather yeasty but also a less than pleasant medicinal touch. A distinct hoppiness. 271213

Sweet trade bonus beer courtesy of adnielsen. The bottle pours with a clear deep gold body that supports a bright white head. The aroma offers up apricot, peach and mango like fruitiness as well as some lime citrus tartness, acidity and yeastiness. The taste begins with a mix of sweet mango and peach and then it quickly gets into citrus tartness and acidic lime like notes. I like how the acidity doesn’t dominate here but the malts and hops are more forward.

Bouteille 375ml de Geers #462, batch ou bouteille? Dorée-orangée, col blanc crémeux généreux. Arôme offre un bouquet mettant bien en avant ce profil distinct de brett, le tout sur de belles notes fruitées surtout le citra qui ici, brille par sa complexité. Je retoruve pas mal d’effluves houblonnées entre un fruité sympa et amérisant. Boisé reste en retrait mais je semble détecter un petit côté adouci oscillant sur la vanille, Palais est léger, houblonné prenant le dessus, sec du houblonnage à ru. Fruité surtout le citra ajoutant de belles notes tropicales entre mangue et ananas. Le tout se termine par un léger côté sec, houblonné noble-sec où se bousculent brett et houblons. Le côté boisé du chêne est discret et reste plus en toute fin de bouche ajoutant probablement ce palais sec. Le côté funk semble plus rond en fin de bouche probablement par le fruité du citra, de ce fait le côté aigre-brett reste modéré.

Bottle at the Tuesday Horal Chugging Tasting - London. Many thanks to Bruce! Pours cloudy yellow-gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds moderate brett, ripe lemon, peach, mellow dough. Light to medium sweet flavor with light tang, further lemon, light acidity, some citrus rind bitterness. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Nice tangy lemon finish with mild funk. Beautiful beer. Well balanced and a pleasure to consume.

Bottle@yespr’s tasting - Fuzzy gold colour with a small white head. Sweet fruity citrus hops, but also with a dry/bitter sour balance as well. Some straw, farmyard like nuances. Pretty complex and interesting one this. Nice
