06-12-20 // 330ml bottle from Hoptimism in 2018. cellar reorganization. This seems to turned a bit sour despite a BBD till 2027. Rich decadent body underneath a mild sourish vinegar note. Not too bad actually but don’t think this was intended. --- Beer merged from original tick of Tsar vs Czar on 07 Dec 2020 at 21:36 - Score: 7.
