Bottle, many many thanks Anstei, aged since before COVID, big fizzy head, crystal clear and quite dark gold colour, aroma of late harvest grapes, acetone, wood and pencil sharpnings, hint of jam, fruity flavor, some acetone, noticable funkiness, a bit of honey, almost piercing but amazingly mellow fruity sourness. Wonderfull, glad I didn't have to share it with anybody.

Gracias a anstei por el Euro Swap 1/2019. Color dorado con espuma blanca, duración media. Aroma con notas a uva blanca, levadura y algo cítrico. Sabor muy ácido, con predominio de la uva blanca no madura y leves notas a madera. Final ácido, frutal con alta carbonatación.

Bottle from Peabody's. Clearish golden color large white head that settles quickly. Nice aroma of dusty must and damp basements. Taste is tart grape, dust, moderate funk. Hi carbonation interferes somewhat with mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Light golden color. Fairly tart, with excellent oak, sweet mango, grapefruit and horse blanket. Medium-low carbonation with really nice fruitiness, love the oak that just lingers and the aggressive fruitiness.

Small flip top bottle. Mild gusher at opening. Pours with that gushing head that eventually leads to nothingness. More on appears. Original a pale color but about halfway through it gets yeast chunky. Last pour, even leaving some behind leads to grapefruit pulp looking beer. Speaking of grapefruit, that's the primary acid flavor I get with acetic touches. Grape maybe. The sourness dominates with s long moderate sourness sticking around. Not bad but probably my last BFM. Just needed one more fling.

Hazy golden with large white head. Aroma is funky yeast, some grapes, champagne, some spiky wood sugars and cookie dough. Taste is intense sourness. Vinegar maybe. Extreme! Finish is also very sour. Very unsure whether I like it. Phew.

Bottle, slow gusher, many thanks King_Alex_II. Hazy-milky yellow-orange color with white head. Aroma is funky grapes, buttermilk, very vineous, acetone. Taste is vineous, surprisingly acidic. Silky mouthfeel with high but soft carbonation. Very nice, the grape character is extremely well incorporated - but it's also a bit dirty and rough in its acidity.

At Brassin Public. Pours cloudy yellow. Aroma is strong grapes, white wine. Body is medium, sour and lightly tart, very smooth. Vineous flavours, grapes, light saison funk. Lingering vinegar palate. Very balanced with good flavours.
