Draught Small white rim; ochre-golden beer, clear. Grapey, almost lambic-y nose, with farmyard odours. Wheat also present. Honeyish "lambic", but nowhere sweet. Finish is pure lactic acid with astringency and dry-out effect. Light body, not very carbonated. Quite OK! If I may give one remark: it is tagged as a blended beer, but it has still many features of unblended "lambic". It misses the integration a real gueuze has.

Draught Small white rim over faintly veiled golden beer with a greenish sheen. Rather neutral nose, slightly sweetish, earthy - like the fig plant, rather than the fruit. Dried figs, with all the sugars taken out, leaving an earthy, aromatic residu. Grapes too, and figskins. Light, ultra dry, bit dry-out effect. Ab-so-lu-te-ly unique beer, flavours never experienced before. Must try.

Hazy yellow colour with thin head. The brewer advised that the fig leaves add a coconut taste and that's very true. Behind that a nice citric acidity. Coconut not my thing unfortunately.
