Bottle from ? Pours translucent gold with a white smear. Light sour aroma. Near med body. Flavor is rather meh. It’s only a little sour. Lightly fruity. Lightly oaky. Maybe some grape. Not getting anything like "buttercup". Or would I know buttercup? Hm. Not really exciting.

Bottle. Pours with a mostly clear pale yellow hued body with a large foamy white head. Great lace. Aromas are of lactic acid and funk, some wine barrel tannins, a bit vinous, light vanillin, grainy malt, light grapes and a hint of tropical fruit. Flavors are really watery with a ton of oak lactone and tannin. Sourness is pretty minimal. Grainy, mild funk and damp wood. A bit soapy. Really, shockingly mild in its tartness (compared to the nose). Funk is medium, level and somewhat generic. Lots of wood. Fizzy and a touch off-dry. More complexity than the flemish red, but a very bland and flabby flavor.
