Bottle at Churchkey, split between my Girlfriend and me. Poured a very hazy dark golden color with a small white head. Aroma was lots of apples, plenty of smoke notes, light salty tartness. Flavor had a lot of herbal notes, apple, smoked malts were very nice in this. Worked out a lot more than I expected.

Bottle at Marikka’s. Cloudy orange with small white head. Aroma is light tart, medium body, medium light soft carbonation, and pretty good lacing. Taste is smoked (pepperoni primarily). Probably not worth what I paid, but not bad.

Bottle: Cloudy orange-brown with a small white head. Aroma is green apple,smoked ham. Taste is tart green apple, smoke.... More tart than the pear version, and not quite as smooth.....sharp vs. sweet in comparison. Very good as well, but preferred the pear just a bit more.

at a tasting, thanks, small stable lasting, a little hazy lightish orange color, bubbly head, sour fruity funky aroma with a hint of smoke, flavor of apples, light at first but getting stronger, some woodiness and light maltiness, light to medium fruity sourness.Interesting nicely balanced and quite tasty.

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey during the Freigeist Bierkultur Tap Takeover. Hazy yellow with off-white head. Aromas of apple cider, light herbs. Tastes of apples, light herbs, light tart notes. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Interesting, slightly cidery.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place in Jaffa. Thanks Tom C. Hazy yellow-golden with a white head. Aroma of wheat, some lacto, fruity esters, smokes sausages, apple. Tart flavor, lactic, with fruitiness, some apples, banana notes, and smoked meat. Medium-bodied. Very nice stuff. Interesting.

0.5 l bottle from Vormann Brauerei, bottled in 2015. Hazy, golden orange with a thin, frothy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sourish-smoky aroma of charcoal, apple and pear. Sourish, fruity-smoky taste of charcoal, apple, rhubarb and pear, followed by a short, fruity and tart finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent and astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not too deep but highly drinkable and quite refreshing. The combination of acidity, smoke and fruit is still quite strange but I like this one slightly better than the pear version. Good!
