At Eurhop festival in Rome-ITALY. Pours amber and vivid, cloudy with a minimal tan foam. Nose: sour notes (?), farmhouse feel. Mouth has pungent tartness and bit of Amber malts but watery although refreshing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. A brown beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of butter, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of lemons, butterscotch, and brettanomyces, leading to a tart finish. Weird, wonder if this is how it is meant to be.
