Bottle in NYC - picked up in MA. Pours clear yellow-gold with a tight, creamy white head. Huge aroma of zesty kaffir lime, lemon peel, grass, perfume. Light to medium sweet flavour with some honey drizzled over doughy wheat bread, some crackers, more zesty citrus, lemon rind, oily lime, a little grass. Light bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Finishes with further dominant kaffir lime, bread crust, wheat flakes, ripe lemon, hints of honey. Interesting stuff, but really not that drinkable.

50cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Expired in June 2017. Pours orange-colour, with quickly disappearing white foam. Aroma is fruity, in particular peachy, but not sweet. Some tannic. Body is medium-dense with abundant carbonation, and with quite some astringency in the finish. Taste is vastly sour, maybe some sweetness in the very beginning.

Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a peach and pear with a decent mustiness. Flavor is very fruit forward with white grape and peach and pear. Very fruit forward with a decent mustiness. Not a huge brett but this has plenty of barnyard cobwebs. I don’t think this is 9.1%, the bottle does not say but it may be scratched off, this drink more like a 5%. Very fruity and grape must forward, this is plenty flavorful.
