50cl bottle pours a muddy gold with some sticky, white head. Nose is quite inviting, passionfruit, mango, pineapple, some apricot, some cheesy funk notes. Flavor has some nice tartness, passionfruit, raw orange, pineapple, a little band aid here. Finishes tart, lightly slick. Well done.

Bottle thanks to Dan, shared at Leighton’s 20K. It pours cloudy pale bright orange with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, sugary fruits, tangy, sour, candied orange, tropical fruit juice, orange sherbet and wood. The taste is tart, earthy, wood ,good mouth - pucker, sour lemon, orange peel, mango, passion fruit, some bright acidity and funk. Medium body and fine carbonation. A pretty tasty fruity sour.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of brettanomyces, hops, exotic fruits, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of peaches, exotic fruits, hops, malt, and straw, leading to a dry finish.

Leighton’s 20K at his posh new gaff! Thanks to Dan. Very hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Very sour lemon, some lemon acid. Light floral touch. Modest fruits underneath the acid. Airy finish. Too sharp for me.

(500ml bottle from boxbeers.dk, bottled Sept 15/16) Pours hazy orange-gold with a small, rapidly dissipating whitish head leaving a ring. Nose is very fruity, passion fruit, guava (which wasn’t added!), ample grapefruit flesh, some grapefruit peel, more subtle layers of mango and pineapple, a little sour lemon, pine, musty funk. Flavour is also quite fruity, perhaps not to the degree of the nose. Passion fruit, pretty sour grapefruit, lemon-lime, unripe pineapple, leafy/piney quality, feels a bit lactic (illusion?), floral notes on the finish, which is otherwise fairly clean with a little funk to it, very soft bitterness. Medium bodied, low but fairly effervescent carb. Solid stuff, fruity and easy to drink.

Bottle shared during the 20l tasting. Cheers! Pours unclear gold with a thin, creamy white head. Zesty citrus in the nose, graoefruit, pithy lemon, pine needles. Light sweet flavour with juicy tropical fruit character, mango and melon, tangerine, mellow piney bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Good balance in the finish, with more tangy citrus fruits, moderate acidity, pale wood. Great stuff. Hugely drinkable.
