2021 bottle. Enormous thanks Nino and Casey for sharing these with us! Murky orange-amber body, white head. Quite funky aroma, phenolic, my notes are unclear about the other notes, light vinegar perhaps? The taste is, then, much more interesting. Dry orange notes, pine, bitter, light woodiness, good tartness. Quite enjoyable!

Dark blond colour with no head and light carbonation. Aroma and flavour are super woody and dry. Very sharp and slightly vinegary but with a really dry finish.

12 month aged in old wooden Barrel. i prawdopodobnie wiecej niz rok, jak podaje producent na etykiecie, totalny odjazd kwasno-lambikowy, te dzikie drozdze zabily cukry podczas fermentacji, na maxa, rozprawily sie totalnie z nimi niczym samoloty amerykanskiej marynarki wojennej w bitwie o Midway. zero slodyczy, zero piany, mnostwo kwasu, dzikosci i wytrawnosci, ta wytrawnosc przechodzi w dzika cierpkosc, nie dla amatorow tylko dla koneserow lambikow i innych kwasnych produktow. Na koniec barwa, moze nie jest barwy medalu naszych sztafistow, raczej jak kolor bursztynu, czy medalowego brazu, ale pod koniec jest blotniste i metne. Ekstremalne piwo, Pychota jak dla mnie.

750ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, amber colour with late awakening, small, thick, creamy, fading, minimally lacing, off-white head. Mild, mellow, unspecific fruity and slightly woody aroma, hints of grapes, berries, herbal and spicy overtones with a touch of mustard seed, tarragon, nutmeg, funky overtones. Taste is mildly tart, tangy, unspecific fruity, minimally woody, hints of grapes, a touch of mustard, terragon, nutmeg, vinegar (without sourness), diluted hints of cherry, funky overtones. Smooth, super-soft and silky palate, soft carbonation. Superbly crafted, sophisticated, very mild and harmonious, unostentatious; simple in a way but somehow nifty and full of subtleties as well.

Lambic type flatness, and sourness. Nice stuff. Gooseberry, bit of leather.
