Аромат не очень приятный, немного брусники и прочих ягод, алкоголя и трав. Вообще без пены, цвет как у розового вина. Вкус слишком алкогольный. Чувствуются ягоды, но не сказать что вкус потрясный. Имеются немного винные нотки от белого вина. Все равно в целом мне не зашло.

Bottle at Labietis, Riga. Complex and woody, sourish and tart. No hops used. A bit herbal ofcourse with fruity notes. Tart sourish finish, not boozy but you feel the abv. Very nice.

From tap at Dock Bar, Münster. Aroma is spoiled milk with coriander and some salt. I have a soft spot for Labietis, but their experiments can be hit and miss.

From tap at Dock Bar, Münster. Rather herbal with rowan berries, gurkin/pickle, tart berries, sour pickles. Tart and moderate sour. Super herbal and peculiar, but drinkable and interesting.
