Bottle. Pours a clear deep orange with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a musty sour fruit note with some earthy grains and a bit of bread. Flavor is similar with a musty sour and earthy grains as well as a light leafiness.

Bottled (thanks mctapps!). Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is lactic, herbal and mild salty wooden notes. Flavour is floral, salty and some lactic and wooden notes. Balanced, ok, not too offensive.

Bottle 500ml (Peta). Orange murky color, small off-white head. Sourish, lactic aroma. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Lactic, salty flavor. Watery and thin finish. Idea is better than final product.

Euro2-Flasche: Deep golden, cloudy, bigger and stable off-white head with a good lacework; mild sourish-fruity nose, backed by a delicate bready touch; a bit fizzy, sourish-bitter flavour, a mild sweetness is still detectable; mild fruity-sourish finish with - as expected - yeasty traces. Klobouk dolu! A well drinkable thirst-quencher…

Small, just off-white head over very well-carbonated amber beer with a mossy sheen. Sourish-herbal nose, some lightly coloured malts, rainwater, wet dog, buttermilk. Sesame oil/seeds, wet dog, other grains, bread flavours. Rather watery MF, light body. Acidity enhanced by the CO². Far from bad, nothing ’searched’. But allow me to remark that the ’traditional’ way would not need the addition of lactic acid. It would be there spontaneously...

(Bottle, 0.5 l, at Pikkulintu, 20150706) The beer poured brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had tartness, malts and grass. Palate was medium bodied and dryish with medium carbonation. Flavours were sourness, malts, tartness, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, tart and bitter. A rather weird brew but still nice.

500 ml bottle BB july 2014, shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Deep amber, clear body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of overripe fruits, orange, some dried fruits, leather, some barnyard.
Taste lemongrass, zesty hops, leather, overripe fruits, barnyard, some dried fruits.
Light, slick mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes smooth, medium sour, quite dry hoppy, a bit leathery.

Quite interesting. Overall nothing special, but still good after one year past the BB date. Nice mix of sour and fruity notes.
