From 500ml bottle, 8 Wired library tasting. Pours bright gold. Feijoa, kiwi, soap, lemon, touch of vinegar, touch of barnyard. Quite flat. Less funky and less sour than more recent vintages.

Bottle from Cap Tap. Pours brassy gold with a slight white head. Aroma of mildly tart pale fruits. Near med body. It's sort of slick. Flavor quickly provides a BFM sort of taste - tho nowhere near that sour. This is fruity, musty wood, tart and rather dry. Feijoa is pineapple guava - which our neighbor grows. Will have to try one. All in all it's a quite drinkable moderately sour ale.

Draught@CBC2015. Hazy orange colour, small fluffy white head. Aroma is tart fruits, some wood, resin, berries, grains and mild lactic notes. Flavour is fruity, mildly lactic notes along with some cherry stones, dry wood as well as some slight funky sourness. Easygoing, yet quite complex.

37.5cl bottle courtesy of Oli and Anna @ Struise Schooltje, thanks for bringing this one all the way from NZ. De couleur dorée, col est fin blanc. Arôme offre une touche de funk allant directement vers le brett, retrouve un nez tropical alternant sur l’ananas et goyave. Palais est léger, funk, pointe fruité assez fraiche, impression de kiwi et goyave, fruit vert, sec et bien pétillant. Correcte, sans que le fruité soit omniprésent. Juste un peu trop orienté brett pour moi.
