Notes from April 2010 Batch 3 Ommegang flute hybrid glass. Had it in place of white wine with my flounder. Sparkling, clear pale gold color with just a spritz of head. Can't help but yeast it up a little with my second pour though, turning it a towards a murky mellow gold, a bit like watered down grapefruit juice. Smell is full with apricots, unripened peaches, melon, & soured cider. It has a bit of that Cantillon bite in the nose. A bit musty like ice wine, but more familiar & less appealing, with traces of spoiled milk & rubbing alcohol. Taste is dominated by tangy & sharp fruit. Unripened pineapple, more peaches, & hard green grapes. Middle in it turns slightly bitter with lettuce, then slightly buttery. Finish has lots of similarities to spontaneously fermented scrumpy cider. Last call on the finish is a drag of gooey dough & yeast. Carbonation is pretty nice, & the alcohol is decently hidden by the sharp fruit notes. It's gets your palate salivating for more appetizers when drank in tight sips. Overall, a bit more mellow & less sour then previous batches I feel. Maybe less complex, but certainly easier to drink, which is a shame because of the price & bottle limit. I can't exactly remember how this tasted fresh, aside from a little less oxidation, & more snap in my tongue. I do remember licking my lips a bit more back at the release. Aging this bottle hasn't really made me say wow. I wouldn't hold on to these expecting anything better in the long term.

Flaska. Doftar väldigt vinöst, torkad frukt, även mycket trä. Ganska tung och alkoholstinn på ett positivt lägerelds sätt. Påminner otippat nog om en barley wine. Komplext och gott.

(Bottle, vintage 2017) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with brief foamy white head. Fruity, sourish nose with lemon, grapefruit, grapes, oak wood, funk, white wine, flowers and a touch of vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with citrus, grapefruit, white wine, grapes, spices, oak wood, barnyard and a dry and tart finish with low bitterness. Almost full body, dry. Fresh and lively, with a generous, but elegant, acidity. Excellent beer!

Golden, cloudy with a medium white head. Aroma of fruits and some wood sense. Sour with a fruit end. A bit too sour for me. Wedding❤
