30.09.2024, 0,5l bottle @ home:
Nice fizzy-creamy shortlasting head, cloudy dark orangy color. Aroma is slightly dry sour-ish floral, old rope, fruit stones, oak, sour dusty plums, hay, grain, paper, minerals, bark, yeast. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish fruity, mild vinegar, old rope, hay, oak, sour dusty plums, grain, minerals, sorrel, yeast. Medium bitterness, slightly dry sour-ish floral mouthfeel. Fair enough.

At a tasting small bubbly fizzy head, extremely pale murky red color, funky almond aroma with a feral hint, dominant vanilla flavor with some fruitiness behind, light sourness, flavor bot too appealing and feels a bit artificial. Nothing to write home about.

Keg at BD Mighty Boosh, 17/01/19. Murky pinkish orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is tarte fruits, pear, stoned fruits, funk, acidic nostril tickle. Taste comprises tangy fruit rinds, bitter sweet notes, apple skins, pear, lick of vanilla, damp hay. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a sweet and sour climax. Decent enough sour.
