Bottle shared by Dany at the post EBF tasting, thanks! Poured a clear gold with a slight ruby hue and a lasting white head that laced slightly. Aroma was tart with some light berries with a bit of acid and funk coming out. Flavor was nicely balanced with acid and funk with a really nice tart berry note that really balances the beer nicely.

Sampled on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus, earthy notes and an almost nutty note. The taste is tart citrus, bready notes, hay, pear. Pretty much like sucking on a lemon. Medium bodied. Weird one.

Aroma is light gueuze notes mixed with malt. Has a nice foggy brown body with little head. Flavour is gueuze-like with a dry malt finish. The palate is dry; the body could be more solid, but I’m nitpicking as this is good stuff.
