Dark amber brown colour, slightly hazy, no head. Aroma of candy sugar, light tart and light silage. Flavour quite sweet, very slight tart notes, light lactic acid / yoghurt. Finish candy sugar. Interesting.

Slightly hazy golden colour, no head. aroma of egg, sulphur, some butter. Light brett and hay, but the sulphur is overpowering other aromas. Very fruity flavour, light tart, wood, sherry vinegar. Light egg. Slightly sweet finish, quite herbal. Very nice, aside from the aroma, which is quite off-putting, honestly.

Cask @ ZBF’12. Dorée/paille brumeuse, col blanc léger. Quelle différence au palais pour cette version, qui pour moi se démarque en positif. Arôme est bien houblonné, sec suggérant un dry-hopping, le tout gardant une belle note fruitée avec un complément de grains/froment. En bouche, un profile herbacé voire citronné par le houblon qui se rapproche du fourrage (dans un bon sens) avec cet aspect vieux grains, le tout restant sec en bouche. Une bière à déguster, et que je demande à revisiter peut être ailleurs que dans le bruit d’un festival brassicole.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Cloudy golden, small head. Aroma of cobwebs and lemon. Intensely sour with fairly soft mouthfeel and medium body. Salty, citric and sour. Barnyard, hay and cobwebs. Intense, yet superbly drinkable.

Sample from 375 ml corked green bottle, at Cardinal’s stand at Øl- og Akevittmessen in Stavanger. Hazy golden colour, fizzy white head. Complex and funky aroma and flavour, fairly acidic, notes of farmhouse and lemons. Proved quite popular at the festival.
