Bottle, 75cl. (RBNAG 07) It presented itself by acting volcano, and the beer that found its way into the glasses had a hazy, golden-orange body with a nice, big, dense, off-white head. A slightly sour aroma had a sweetish fruityness as well. There’s hints of cassis in the flavor, which was nice in a way, but too sour. Slightly astringent, medium full mouthfeel. A decent beer, but I find it too sour in a way not as pleasant as with true lambics. (071103)

750ml bottle @ RBNAG’07. Hazy orange body with a huge off-white head. Aroma is a bit acid, yeast and fruity. Flavor is sour, fresh, fruity (blackcurrants) and some kind of sweet soap! Rather light body with medium finish. Interesting.

Offwhite coarseish medium head. Hazy opaque orange body with carbonation. Papery light malty aroma with faint blackberry notes. Lightly acidic and sweetish taste with soapy blackberry notes. Mealy, chalky, and sharpish. Not bad, but very subtle, and not really good. (0.75l bottle from Isola della Birra, rated at RBNAG’07.)

Exaggerately huge head, collapsing. Amber coloured with some pink-yellow shine. Nose is fruity, blackcurrant, but also a smell from Belgian 'ossewit' - purified cattle-fat for deepfrying. Taste is full of fruity flavours - peach, unripe brambles, anything (as it's often the case) BUT cassis. Sheesh. Retronasal lactic acid. Medium-bodied, no acid-burn. Nice beer, fruity beer, decent, but has it anything to do with blackcurrant?

2008-10-31, tasting at Papsoe, 6-5-6-3-14=34Cloudy deep blond, huge head. Creamy aroma, milky, not fruity. Good mouthfeel, sweetish malt flavor, light sourness and fruitness, delicate, balanced, leading into a more balanced flavor; good but not surprising.
2002-07-24, bottle at the brewpub, 7-5-7-4-14=37
Served in a 75cl bottle, it comes with a tray of different sorts of cheese; poured by the waiter in 2 giant original glasses (look at the picture, each is about 1 litre).
Hazy amber colour, giant head (at least 15 cm), rocky, that sticks to the glass in a beautiful lace.
Nice aroma, not particularly strong: malt, fruits (cassis). Italian Doppio Malto as a base (that means Bock beer), corrected by the fruit and a hopping stronger than the average. The malt is quite good, leaving some sweetness, and participating in a good body structure; the fruit is discrete, the hop may be too strong and the bitterness hides the fruit.
As most of the beers from this brewery, it´s bottom fermented; the fruits come as a syrup, I heard that it´s produced by some farmer in Alto Adige region.
