Cloudy golden with a small white head. Muddy aroma of grapefruit and grass. Dry grapefruit flavour possibly with some brett. Hoppy finish

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours slightly hazy golden with a small white head. Distinct Brett aroma. Medium body, citrusy tart and stringent. Dry and bitter finish. Quite nice, but again I doubt that the Brett is intentional. 230808

Bottle, shared by fonefan. A clear golden beer with a minimal off-white ead. Slightly sour on the nose, but mostly citrusy and fruity. The sourness is present in the mouth too, but in a nice brett-ish way. Surely not intended. Fruity too, but not much maltyness going on. Dry, slightly astringent mouthfeel and a sourish finish. Nice in a way, but sure gone bad. (080823)

50cl bottle: Pours clear gold with a small white head. Nose is weird. Fruit, leather & rubber. Not very pleasant. Ends very dry!
