A bretted pilsner, barrel aged in French Sauvignon blanc oak barrels for 8 months. This gives it the sweetness of passionfruit with a hint of elderflower and dried lemons with a nicely crisp finish. Of course we have had to add an alpha delta twist with 2 blends of Brettanomyces which has slapped some funk into the mix! Once you have this, you'll never be able to drink a normal pilsner again! Sorry not sorry….

Can shared by me. Meggyőződésem, hogy ez félre van kategrizálva, de annyi baj legyen. Illatában elsőre kissé zavaros, buggyant, de ahogy tisztul, úgy bújnak elő a boros, szőlős és a funky jegyek is, amiket kis füves jelleg kísér. Ízében erősen funky, kicsit füves, szőlős, meglehetősen száraz, ami egy idő után a kesernyével kombinálva túl sok is lesz.

Can from HoTM. It pours lightly hazy bright yellow - gold with a frothy white cap. The aroma is bright, zingy, vibrant white wine character, gooseberry, twist of lemon - lime, white grape, vanilla oak, musty, funky, sherbet and door plooms. The taste is crispy and crunchy, deep funk, barnyard, brett, damp hay, dry oak, grassy, leafy, touch of spice, waxy butter citrus rind, wine character more subtle and integrated that on the taste, touch of gooseberry, white grape, melon, biscuity malt and a kick of boozey heat with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Lovely stuff. The aroma is spectacular! Stills actually tastes like a lager as well. Brilliant stuff.

24th April 2022 Happy 97th Birthday Mum, hope you are resting in peace. Can. Almost clear to gold beer, tiny white head. Lovely enticing white wine nose. Palate is light and semi dry, with a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, thin, provide a modicum of sweetness, it barely matters to be frank. Soft pine. The white wine, is bloody marvellous, rich and obvious and bright and clean. A touch of wood from the barrel nicely offset by similarly induced vanilla. Moving into the latter half there is honeyish rich sweet wine vibe, with touches of ripe tropical fruits, like it was also aged in a Dessert wine barrel. The Brett is light and mildly savory but keeps the sweetness in check. Finishes light and crisp. Fabulously winey beer. Great stuff.

Can from the House of Trembling Madness. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of white grape, green grass, green mango, faint wood. Taste is funkier, but not sour, stronger wood and wine. Pils notes lurking at the back. Interesting stuff.

150ml draught at Agenturet Øl og Vinbar. A covering white head blanketing the upper part of the glass, misty golden body. Rather restrained smell of mid-sweet pale malts and herbal hops. Stronger on flavour with cereal malts, wood, and ripe orange. Ends malt-fruity with warming alcohol. Quite alright with my pumpkin soup. (Tromsø 25.02.2022).
