Lekker dan, dit is echt over datum. Zuur bier, gadverdamme.

Strong farmhouse ale aged on wooden barrels, a creation by this acclaimed English craft brewery; thanks Meeki for sharing. Off-white, creamy, medium thick, opening and irregularly lacing head, hazy peach blonde robe with pale orangey tinge. Complex, fruity aroma of ripe white grapes, peach, lots of vanilla-scenting wet oak wood, ripe mandarin, rosé wine, cider, plum jam, candied orange peel, honey, strawberry, pineapple sherbet. Very fruity onset, a perfect blend of sweet and sour with estery impressions of whitecurrant, white grape and pineapple, medium carbonated with supple but sufficiently full body, even a tad vinous; white-bready and lightly biscuity malt structure, elegantly carrying all that fruitiness and soft, vinous tartness onwards to a satisfying finish of strawberry wine, wet oak wood (though relatively soft in tannins), acacia honey and cider impressions. Like a dessert wine of sorts, in beery form: utterly refined, rich and perfumey with lots of vibrant fruitiness – this is among the very best Siren beers I had to date.

Bottle shared with neighbours, from the brewery online shop. Pours light hazy golden orange with a thin white head. Nice oak nose, vanilla, spice. Taste is white pepper, vanilla, faint bready yeast, some orange. There's a lot going on.
