Sampled at a blended product, 6 and 18 months old - served from a pitcher, obviously not refermented or anything. Fresh from the barrels. Pours very unclear, yellowblonde. Scent is sweaty, minthy somehow. Smells a bit off. Rotten vegetables. DMS ? Taste is tart, rotten vegetables. Sweaty, mild acidity, just poorly made to me. Honestly, the good part is the aftertaste, but the first taste (and aroma) is rather repulsive. Very malty, even a tad 'fresh' (minthy, somehow) Lacks acidity, balance, and a bareable scent. Fun to tick this one , but less fun to actually consume a glas of this.

Tap at WOSF’10. Sour vinegar malt aroma. Hazy yellow color. Light sour vinegar and smooth light malt flavor. Nicely blended - not overly sour.

(4 years and 4 months old - aged IN the breweries' pipes). Hazy, orangey colour. Slight white head. Superb maderisation. Nose of vintage Burgundy, 'horseblanket', citrussy, peppery, woody. Lemon-like acidity. Something sticky (I think it's my tooth plaque coming loose from me teeth). Extreme dry-effect. Lipsmacking left-over citrussy acidity in the aftertaste. Mind-blowing age( brewery-conditioning!) for this beer. Result is fabulous.
