0.5 l bottle from 'Craftbeershop.com' as 'Buddelship Lost Horizon Farm Foeder Helles' at 5.9% abv, bottled in March 2023. Minimally hazy, golden amber with a thin, slightly fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sourish, slightly sweetish, quite funky and gently vinous-fruity aroma of gooseberry, red wine, overripe lemon and traces of vinegar. Slightly sweet, gently tart, quite funky and rather vinous-fruity taste of grains, overripe lemon, gooseberry, red wine, some oak and light vinegar, followed by a short, gently tart, moderately dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Interesting beer, hardly recognizable as a Helles after three years in that brett infected wine barrel. Quite refreshing.

On tap at Bar Oorlam, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma is very funky, with lots of wild bugs, some oak, and some gentle herbaceous notes. Flavour is gently tart and quite buggy; the helles character is buried beneath, so this is mostly a function of the funk and oak. Unusual but quite solid.

Light, a bit sour, woody. Nice and complex.

Draught @ Bar Oorlam, Hamburg. Pours nearly clear golden with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast, with acidic and mildly malty touches. Estery flavour with acidic and malty botes and papery touches. Acidic and papery aftertaste. Nearly no carbonation. Drinkable but rather acidic for the style.
