330ml bottle. Cloudy, brown colour with light redd-ish shimmer and small, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Caramel malty, resinous and slightly vinous aroma, yeasty spicy overtones, hints of grape juice, retsina. Taste is oaky, vinous fruity, slightly resinous and alcoholic, some bitter hop, yeasty spicy interludes with a weak touch of marmite, some grape juice induced sweetness; slightly warming, alcoholic finish. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation. Homogeneous, heavy, not overly complex - not exactly my cup of tea.

Bottle. Opaque black/brown with a nice beige head. Aroma of roasted malts and dark and milk chocolate with hints of oranges. Taste of milk and dark chocolate, roasted malts, espresso and just very small hints of oranges or perhaps tangerines. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Creamy mouthfeel. Very balanced. Lovely and delightful.

Can, 5.5%. Fruity and juicy aroma, tangerine and orange juice. Cloudy yellow colour. Unstable white head. The flavour starts off watery with a fairly high and woody bitterness. Later comes some fruit and yeast. Bitter finish

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow with a huge white head. Not wanting to mess up the kitchen it took me about five minutes to carefully transfer the beer from the bottle to my glass. Aroma of thyme, yeast and zest. Taste of thyme, lemons, yeast, grains, zest and grass. Spicy and funky with a dry finish. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Very refreshing. If this was really the 2019 edition it held up extremely well. Marvelous.

Bottle. Cloudy pale yellow featuring a decent white head. Aroma of canned peaches indeed, lemons and delicate hints of vanilla. Taste of canned peaches, lemons, vanilla, rhubarb and peach jam. Slightly sweet, tart and sour but not THAT sour. Medium carbonation. Very balanced. Sour beers aren’t exactly my thing but this is really well done and extremely enjoyable.
