Medium amber color. Frothy white head. Funky yeasty nose with peaches, oak and freshly baked bread. Medium body, very tart doesn’t come across as a Vienna lager. Very low bitterness. Semi dry. Still the yeast really dominates. Interesting

Bottle from BD Tower Hill. Herby vinous aroma. Cloudy amber. Thick creamy off-white head. Vinous. Underlying sweetness. Light. Thin. Low key fizzy carbonation. Astringent finish. More sour than Bier de garde but good stuff.

Bottle at BDTH - London. Pours clear red-gold with a frothy, white head. Aged berries in the nose, old wood, funk. Light sweet flavour with balanced acidity, more old drying woody character, leather, nips of earth, tart lemon. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Graceful finish, more citrus fruit acidity, woody dryness, low bitterness. Gorgeous stuff.

Draught at Three Penny, 5/25/17.
Drab auburn with darker chestnut hues a light haze and a small, beige head atop showing moderate retention.
Some toffee and red fruit in the nose showcase the specialty malt as hints of mild, fruity Brett rise up, as well. Good tartness forming but it mixes with the malts to form a very round, dry, almost woody character. A touch of vanilla through the middle, with more cherry, strawberry and apple-like esters ending on just a touch of toasted character that further dries things out. No alcohol or flaw.
Fairly soft in the mouth, given the specialty malt, but as a good BdG should be. Not richly-malted, but soft enough with low but tight carbonation and lots of dryness on the finish. Toffee, apple, strawberry and vanilla lighten the mood as light wood tannin and hints of earth and funky Brett are felt just below the surface. Quite a bit going on here and it definitely isn’t a classic BdG, despite traditional ingredients. Maybe just a bit more malt richness would help here, though it’s a very difficult line to tread, not wanting the beer to be too malt forward/rich, as I can understand. Anyways, nice stuff, love the complexity derived from the various yeast, hops and malts.
