BOTTLE at La Fine Mousse, kindly offered (for free).

Colour: dark copper (red-brown), clear.

Aroma: some toffee, flowery, sweet.

Taste: a fairly complex salty-sourish-bitter cocktail, little hops.

An interesting, bizarre and unusual taste, nevertheless enjoyable and refreshing.

Bottle. Pours hazy dark golden with a massive head receding to creamy finger thickness. Aroma is strange indeed, but very nice. There’s sour oak, dried berries, hops and spices, as well as some good whiffs of coriander and apple. Quite full body, with lively carbonation. Flavour has a salty sourness to it and is rather funky really, with balsamic vinegar, yeast, green apples and hay. Very fruity, and highly refreshing.
