[20160904] ( This beer was realy hard to rate ... it reminds me of our long gone dog a Sankt Bernhard called "Buster" .. he had a love hate relation to lemon fruit.. if we gave him half a fresh lemon fruit, he will put in his mouth try to eat it and then figur out it was tart and acidic, quickly spitting out the fruit .. look at it for a few seconds ... and then try again ... the same thing happens again .. tart - spitting out - waiting - try again ... etc. Thats the way i feel about this beer something i like and hate at the same time ... so i can give it 4-2-6-3-9 when i hate it and then 10 seconds later it think nice 7-2-8-3-12 and this goes on and on like with "Buster" ) (4-7)-2-(6-8)-3-(9-12)

Tap at In De Wildeman. Near clear amber brown with a small short lived cream head. Aroma of tart red berries, mineral notes, vinegar, malt, light leather and caramel. Flavour is light moderate sweet and moderate sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not sure why this is listed as an altbier, comes across closer to a Flemish brown.

Tap at Erzbierschof Zurich. Pours cloudy amber, pale orange. Aroma is mostly saison yeast, but quite fruity. Orange. Body is medium with a soft carbonation. Almost no bitterness, little sweetness, quite dry. Short palate. Easy to drink, yet not super exciting.

Tap at Erzbierschof Zurich. Pours almost clear amberish yellow. Aroma is very citric, artificial, like sour candy. Body is super late, watery, with ripe banana and yeast flavours. Tastes like a Hefeweizen gone wrong. Palate turns bitter. Weird.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is Brausetablette-yeast-funk, wheat, some spicy rye. Taste is bananas, wheat, watery, with some spicy yeasts. Oily mouthfeel, but also watery. The aroma is interesting, the taste is too German-Weizen (but more watery) for me.
