Pours clear, amberblonde. Small white head. Scent is funky, heavy on wood, overripe apple, brett, vineous. Taste is dry, tart, strong woodyness, very fruity, apples, pear, hints of red fruits almost. Very tasty, complex (red wine barrels??? ) brett. Way above expectations , and very different too.

Bouteille 75cl partagée avec Thomas, dégustée à Gualta.
Dorée léger pâle, col fin blanc-cassé peu tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet plaisant, funk délicat, garde un nez rappelant un vieux lambic, assez complexe, pointe de malté/grains en rétro-nasal.
Palais présente un léger funk, malté sur les céréales, cuire, cave, touche de cara, léger fleuri tirant presque sur le sureau.
Plaisant ce côté old stock ale mais ayant un caractère belge de lambic.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is tart berries, acidity, some mild sweet malts, with some honey. Flavour is tart berries, mild funk, some mild acidity with some wooden tones. Very smooth, but still delicate. Nice Euro-hoppy elements too.
