Bottle, 75cl corked, shared by Brugmansia. When opened, the beer tried to escape the bottle slowly, and left a dark golden body with microfloaties and an off-white head of reasonable size but with little retention. Dusty, sour and lemony on the nose, but not in an unpleasant way. The flavor was dusty, sour and lemony too, with some spicyness and bitterness. Dry, sourish and slightly astringent in the mouth, finishing with some bitterness. Sure gone bad, but still drinkable in small amounts. (080823)

Tap at Delirium Taphouse. Hazy dirty gold color with a lacing white head. Light fruit aroma. Flavor is rather grapefruit. Not at all sweet. No more bitter than grapefruit rind, so it’s fairly bitter. Nice clean finish. Tastes really good.

Bottled. Hazy amber colour with small particles floating around. Mediumsized beige thick head, that leaves nice lace. Aroma is very fruity while pouring, afterwards it gets grassy and wooden along with some toffee and even licorice. Flavour is wooden, toffeeish as well as grassy. finish gets a bit ashes, licorice, wood and mild roast. Aftertaste is mainly grassy. A different brew. Quite refreshing.
