Pours clear blonde. Medium small , fast fading white head. Scent is full, beautifully complex tartness, vineous, ofcourse. Very, very fine and elegant. Taste is full, tart, beautifull light yet present fruityness. Actually, it's not light in intensity, just in loudness. This is a smooth one. Just about as sour as an elegant beer can be, without going towards the side where sourness takes over the elegance. Medium carbonation. Mouthfeel is medium thin , but works very well with the totallity of the beer. The grapes are fairly herbal, raw and even a bit unripe, definately showcasing what in wine would be pounting towards colder climate. This is a very fun one, well surpassing expectations. Culinairy beer for sure.
gave a cheers!

Bottle shared at Moor Beer Vaults - Bermondsey. Pours lightly unclear gold with a small, foamy white head. Lightly sweet with clean acidity, mild lemony notes. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Subtle acidity in the finish, a little pale wood dryness, nips of grass. Highly drinkable. Solid.

Flaska från Antidoot. Flaskad 2020-06. Klar gulguldig med vit krona som lägger sig. Stor i doften. Vita druvor, vin, fat, blommigt, lätt smörig, mycket sötma och fyllighet från druvorna. Växer också i glaset, får fram mer sötma från gula russin och torkad aprikos, samtidigt som syran blir lite mer framträdande med laktotoner. Mjuk, fyllig och bra djup.
