Tap @ In de Wildeman. Opaque pitch black color, small beige head. I only get sourness and dark malts in the aroma. Taste malts, sourness, caramel, fruitpeel. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Not bad.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours cloudy, rich gold with a thick, tight off-white head. The aroma holds tangy tangerine, lemon, pale wood, faint brett maybe, a bit of grass. Light-medium sweet flavor with a bit of peach, mild twangy citrus fruits, melon, some bitter wood, dry grass, hay, slight grain husks. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes relatively clean with low bitterness, some sandy grass, more woody aspects, orange rind, light minerality, balancing sweetness, some slight lemon notes. Interesting stuff and pretty drinkable, but the galaxy hops seem fairly neutered. Still, it’s fair.
