This spontaneous fermented beer has been aged in Hungarian oak barrels and appears with a light amber color with almost no head.
The aroma is huge and very vinous. A clear impression of oxidized apples is the first thing that hits you, which made us think of heavy old fashioned British apple ciders. The aroma also reveals the wooden notes from the barrels along with some burned toffee and spices like Star anise.
It has a very heavy acidic profile at first, one that quickly slides into a smooth kind of sweetness. We taste green apples, carambola and very young green grapes. It has a certain lactic acidic touch and a creamy dry finish that lasts forever and bares the green impressions through.
Some mild creamy blue cheese on roasted rye bread would work great due to both the lactic and acidity impressions in this beer.

Bottle 375ml @ Geokkjer
Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma is sour with notes of horseblanket, barnyard, brett, wood and some fruitiness. Taste is light sweet and medium sour with a long sour, dry, woody and fruity finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Pours amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows lemon peel, elderflower, coconut oak notes, apricot and lots of funk.Flavours include more oak-driven coconut, lemon peel and gooseberries followed by a strong refreshing acidity.Watery body but it works well with these flavours.

Pours deep gold into a tulip. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Tart fruit and funk aromas. Medium bodied with sourdough, biscuit, and tart summer fruit front to back. Lasting marshmallow funk finish. I’m glad they didn’t mix with fruit...
