0.375l cork top bottle. Aroma of wine, berries, flowers, barnyard and wood. Pours clear amber color with quickly diminishing off-white head, yeast residue and sparkling appearance. Taste starts tart vinous, citrusy and woody,
follows by raspberries and flowers with relatively smooth mouthfeel. Light body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Flower sour power…

Bottled 2/15/19. Clear yellow, unstable white head. Smell is fruity, tart, woody. Light body, but not thin, soft carbonation, slight pucker. Taste is tart, dry, but with a memory of sweetness. Lots of oak, subtle raspberry, some floral notes. Quite nice!

Bottle, 375ml corked. An unclear orange colored beer topped by a minimal sized white head. Fruity aroma with orange, apricot and some grass, along with a pleasant funky touch. It's full-bodied and lightly tart on the palate, with a flavor profile matching the aroma pretty well. Lightly funky, mostly fruity, and quite flowery. Less flowers in the aroma I think. Long finish. A very pleasant one, tasteful, balanced. 201230
Fruity and floral on the front end, balanced tartness on the back end. Very nice and refreshing.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours translucent orange tinged gold with a slight white head. Aroma is definitely violets - with an undertone of tart pale fruits. Med body or so. Rather sweet/tart. Yet dry. Lightly, lightly bitter. Violets get lost in the liquid phase, but the after quaff is definitely violets. Certainly very approachable. The flavor suggests bugs from the air did the fermentation. Gets drier with time. I like it a lot. Note: Finally it brought Soir de Paris fragrance back to my mind!
