Pale purple. Slight haze. Aroma is a lot of berry. Similar near-bracing acidity as the regular but with berry juiciness. A touch of sweetness up front but gets quite tart. The berry masks some of the complexity.

I placed this in "untraditional" for lack of anything else to call it - it's a blend, but I wouldn't call it a gueuze. Anyway, I had it on tap at Great Northern (RIP). Hazy, pale tan. Thin head. Earthy and buggy, good lambicish character. Honey floral notes but lots of acidity. Good complexity and body, too.

Pale, slight haze. Juicy, pithy, beautiful brett, floral, great pale malt backbone is just enough. This comes together execeptionally well.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Grainy aroma with oak, straw, light honey, very dry. Not sweet at all, expected way more honey. Easy, dry, hint of fruit, lots of wood and bready notes. Okay.

Poured from the tap @ MBCC 2023 green session (finally adding my notes). Clear-ish yellow with small white head. Mild sour tartness, nice balance.
