Bottle. Amber color. Malt, caramel, floral notes and grapes in the aroma and flavor. Soft sourish notes. Hint of cola. Very low on carbon. Certainly drinkable.

Aus der Flasche 2015-08 in der Monterey Bar getrunken. Spannende Mischung zwischen Altbier und Sour Ale. Schön süffig!

Birthday bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker; thanks to Anke & family!
Pours clear red/orange with a thinning, off-white head. The aroma contains raspberry, some strawberry, bit of iron, lactic acid, 'yoghurt' or 'sour milk' and yeast. It tastes medium sour and light hoppy/herbal bitter. Shortish, tart finish. Light body, watery texture, flat carbonation. Nice to drink, but nothing more.

15-08-16 / 500ml bottle. Pours a dark orange colour. Thin foamy head which disappears very fast. Medium sweet with a light acidic sour aroma. somehow watery. Potential for a good Altbier, but it lacks some body.

Tower 42 Tasting. Thanks to Paul. Hazy dark gold beer, no real head. Palate is light and has a mild fine crispness. Mild malts and modest sourness. Tangy dried fruits. Light finish. A curiosity but not in a good way, pretty meh!

Bottle shared on Level 42 9/3/16. Many thanks to Paul, A dull brown orange coloured pour with a small halo of white head. Aroma is tangy orange musty, airy, dusty, grainy. Flavour is composed of green apple, grainy husks, musty sourness. Palate is tangy, grainy, moderate carbonation . Tangy apple lingers. Not a huge fan of this.

Bottle shared on the 42nd floor - many thanks to Paul. Pours hazy golden brown with a slight, filmy head. The aroma has some lightly toasted malts, hints of lemon. Light sweet flavor with mild acidity, more lemons, bread, tangerine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean on the finish with some toasty cereal, wheat, lemony tartness. Tasty beer.

Bottle split at the level 42 tasting, thanks to Bropey, 09/03/16. Murky orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pissy lemon, straw, grain, toasted bread. Taste comprises tangy citric peel, light acidic bite, damp straw, earthy, damp cloth, vegetal notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering effect. So so sour, a touch bereft of character.

Bottle at level 42. It pours murky light brown pond water with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is earthy, woody, old leather sofa, light spice and dull toffee. The taste is slightly watery, tangy, dull sourness, dried fruits, bit of sherbet, wood and leather with short, dry woody finish. Light body and low carbonation. A bit bland and watery. Interesting idea, but pretty so-so.
