Pours yellow with a fading head.Nose shows funky wild yeast and soft custard and vanilla notes along with elderflower and lemon.Flavours are similar. Gentle acidity, funk and woody notes.Carbonation is too high.

Bottle. Pale straw gold with a white head that’s soon gone. Damp wheaty aroma with old lemons, lime, apricot stones. Husky and grainy sweetness, some nectarines, lime, mouldering lemons, mellow apples, hint of hard spice. Moderate sourness, damp laundry funk. No bitterness. The minerally feel that works well in some other Moa beers doesn’t work so well here and maybe there’s a little too much sweetness, but this is pretty good and not entirely unlike a gueuze.

Bottle courtesy of nate2g, thanks! Cloudy pale yellow color, white head. Aroma of funky herbs, light medicine. Taste is tart lemon, vanilla, odd combo. Interesting.
