From bottle at MBCC 2018, red session.
Orange, hazy body, with a medium, fluffy, yellowish head.
Aroma of barnyard, elderflowers, citrus, apples, some pears.
Tastes quite similar, while with more wood.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a carbonation.
Finishes dry, wooden, moderate sour, medium sweet, a bit citric, with elderflowers, moderate funk.
Very nice. Lots of elderflowers, combined with lovely funk notes and barrel, especially in the taste. Not as complex as other Bokkereyders I've had. Fresh and balanced to drink though.

From my back log. One of the best blended lambics I've ever had. From a gent and a scholar and a great blender.
