RB backlog, Bevog Festival 2018. Play between apples, gooseberry, cereal malt, leaves, intense brett. Soft sweetness, a hint of bitterness, tart, pretty salty. Soft carbonation on a medium body. Great aroma, very complex, but salty in taste.

Very much alive bottle, gushing immensely. Musty, with vanilla and grape, some spices, earthy. Lightly sweet, juicy, very dialed back sourness. Very balanced brew. Smooth.

330 ml bottle from Biergreissler, bb end 2022.
Dark copper body, with a medium, frothy, beige head.
Aroma of toast, leather, candy sugar, some overripe fruits.
Tastes quite similar, with subtle vinegar.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes quite dry, wooden, toasty, with sourish dark fruits, some leather.

I'm not sure what I have here!? Oxidized, or wrong label on the bottle? This is completely different than the description and the other ratings. Quite like an Oud Bruin, but also toasty. Not bad, but I was hoping for something else.

Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 14

Tastes quite similar, while sweeter, with lemon candy.
Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.

Very nice. Lovely, funky nose, mixed with the sweet grapes. Taste is pretty sweet, without much funk. Enjoyed the Mikrozirkus 20 more, while this is also interesting.

Tastes quite similar, with more sourish white wine notes.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a carbonation.

Tasty! Very lovely combination of deep funk, grapes and vinous notes. Well dosed sourness, leading to a fresh impression. A highlight from the series for me.

Draught at CBF Wien 19. Orange, hazy body, with a medium, fluffy, yellowish head. Aroma of juniper and other spices, herbs, grains, flowers. Tastes quite similar, with more cereals, honey. Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes spicy, cerealic, medium sweet, floral, a bit herbal, a bit yeasty. Nice one. The nose is a bit weird, while the taste is better, with a nice sweet body. Maybe not my style, but interesting nonetheless. Score: 6 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 14
