(Bottle) Hazy golden with big white head. Interesting aroma with a nice mix of fnk, lemon, candy and floral hints. Medium body with frothy mouth filling carbonation. The flavour is complex, intriguing and not easy to describe. It starts with a gentle lemon fruitiness over a light maltiness with some interesting funkiness / leather. This mellows out to lemon and spice which in turn gives way to a finish that has some bitterness but is mostly a mix of bread, bananas and spice. Overall a complex, intriguing, moreish, maybe a little challenging, very rewarding unusual beer.

Pours amber with a large lasting head.Nose shows funk, lemon juice, soft floral notes, apples and pears.Flavours are a surprise, focussing on malt rather than acidity or funk. Just a faint lemon note before some nondescript malt enters, finishing slightly sweet due to the absence of bitterness.Carbonation is a bit full on.

Bottle, 13C. Orval glass :) Hazy gold with a dense white head that lasts and coats the glass. Aroma is bretty with apples, nectarines, lemon rind, peppery spices. Lowish carbonation (would have liked a little more), creamy. Taste is fruity with apricots, nectarines, oranges, mild funk. Spices creep up to be quite tingly and a good few seconds after a sip it gets around to finish dry. Be interesting to see how it ages, but I only bought two and I’m going to have the other one right now. Absolutely astonishing.
