From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Bretty and funky aroma with plenty of fruits, tropical notes, citrus, notes of grape. Tart and medium sour, hoppy touch. Dry fruity finish. Very nice.

Notes from 11/16/18 Bottle from their sour tap room in Asheville. Still have the really comfortable zip up I bought there. Bottled 9/16/16. Duvel glass at home. A lacquered amber orange brew. Slight fizz. Smells of sour apricots, with hints of peach & some macerated apple. Creamy yeast. Everything is like apples lately... Tart & zesty upfront, turning to bitter & sour apricots. Dry grain, faint apple sweetness, then a lingering citric throat burn that falls off with some yeasty thoughts. Thin, a little boozy, sharply carbonated. Not dense in fruit like their more expensive variants, but the essence is certainly there. Need my toothbrush.

4/4/2021. Bottle shared at the first post-lockdown Ipswich beer share. From LowCostBeer.com. Poured slightly hazy pale gold with a small white head. Aroma is bretty, grapefruit, passion fruit, gooseberry, lemon sherbet, white grape, sour pineapple and peaches. Moderate sweetness, quite heavy sour. Medium body, average carbonation. Very nice.

Pretty good, but I think maybe the sweet fruit element was a little too much for my taste. Big pineapple and mango, though I also thought it tasted like peaches. Def funky, mildly tart.

Draft at The Beer Store, cloudy orange yellow with no head. Medium body. Tropical fruit with funk aroma. Tastes of sour passion fruit and other fruit flavors thrown in, finishes tart grapefruit. Would drink this again.
