Sampled draft @ O.B.E.R. Kestbierfestival 2014. (Thx!) Hazy red brown, little head. Nose is odd spice, allspice, fizzy lemon, tad murky yeast. Taste is oily bitter leaves, vegetables, yeast,… Oily & fizzy body. Run of the mill, drinkable. This booklet & some other material about Delvaux I have seen keep talking about their rich history & mad skillz of the brewer but I just do not pick up on it. I am not much of a taster, so there is that.
