Bottle, 75cl. A slow gusher, producing an enormous, dense, off-white head. Unclear, golden body. Funky nose with lemon and a generic fruityness. Very bretty, almost soapy. Lots of hoppyness, and a quite bitter flavor. Very dry, and combined with the bitterness it almost makes you drink constantly to wet the palate. Funky, lemony and very bretty. Very long finish. An intense, extreme beer in many ways, smelling and tasting nice at first, getting better as I drink. 121109
