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)

[i](75 cl bottle, thanks rickgordon!)[/i]Labeled 6.4% ABVShady dark orange color, white head. Acidic and manure scent, some milk. Sour acidic strange taste, apple cider also. Infected perhaps? Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

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.

Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV was 6.4%. Hazy golden colour, huge head. Pleasant aroma of blackcurrants and hops. Moderately fruity flavour (blackcurrants), light bodied for a 6.4% beer.

Tasted at Belgium Comes to Cooperstown, July 16, 2005. Deep hazy blonde with a thick foamy white head. Faint berry aroma of currant. In mout, sour berries domine the mouth, with orange peels, and currant in finale. Medium bodied.

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.

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.
