Tap at Baghaven, koszi Csupi! Semi opaque golden pour with a white head. Nose is grains upfront, it’s spicy and bready, malty with an obvious funky touch and a surprisingly intense citrus character. Taste is quite similar, it’s spicy-grainy, the rye is kinda obvious but there’s other stuff as well I can’t put my hands on. The citrus character comes through here as well, so does the funk. It’s nicely layered and wuite complex, surprisingly fruity too. One of the most interesting no-adjunct sours I’ve had lately.
