Bottle from a gift - thanks, Anke! Hazy brown, small, frothy, tan head. Aroma of unripe red apple, sour plum, raisin, caramel, clove, blackberry, pepper, toast, biscuit, infected feel. Taste has sweet-sour red apple, plum & pear against a bready malty backbone, hinting at wheat too, bit soapy with a spicy coriander effect. Herbal hoppy finish, soapy spices again, sour, bit spoiled fruit. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Could have been a Dubbel with a twist of 'Oud Bruin' but I don't think it was intended? Feels too infected to be enjoyable.
