Barwa jasnomiedziana, zamglone, piana lekko zabarwiona na beżowo, dość obfita, trwała. W aromacie belgijskie estry, nieco winne, może też dzikie, pszeniczna słodowość. W smaku półwytrawne, lekko kwaśne, zaznaczona podbudowa słodu pszenicznego, nuty winne, dzikie, nadgniłe owoce, głównie w type porzeczka/jagoda/wiśnia. Przyprawowy finisz, nieco tanin, wysycenie średnie, ciało konkretne, nie wyczuwalny alkohol, świetnie pijalne. Bardzo dużo się dzieje, niesamowicie zbalansowane, gratulacje za pomysł i wykonanie, chce się więcej.

Pretty well put together. Barelling is done properly, aka minimully. Still enough florals and coriander. A little bit of wine here brings an interesting vibe. Orange pour with good head and lacing. Sweet and tangy finish, with some leftover florals. Tap at House of Beer in Krakow.

On tap at Piw Paw, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out medium roast, with some alcohol and a hint of coffee. Flavour is quite fruity, with dark fruits, caramel, and medium roast. The fruitiness is a touch tart and the roasted malt feels a bit neutered, but this isn't half bad. Decent.

On tap at Piw Paw, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney and resinous hops upfront, with chewy caramel malt. Flavour is overly malted, with caramel malts, resinous hops, and a slight medicinal character. A bit sweet and under-hopped but not too bad.
