Bottle shared thanks to Jean from Moeder Lambic. Very hazy golden orange with a small off white head. Aroma is vinous, white grape, light woody notes, mineral, toffee, celery freshness, a light nuttiness and light caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a touch of sourness. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Really enjoyed this one, the wine and white grape characters are just fantastic. Such a nice surprising beer! [19-09-2016]

21/V/16 - 75cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ Erwin's Ponton Tasting - BB: IX/2017 (2016-611) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Cloudy amber orange beer, creamy beige to off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: grassy, some marijuana, metallic, bit floral. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: metallic, very bitter, even after everything we've had today, unpleasant, bit chemical, tastes like a very bitter pilsener. Aftertaste: is just bitterness and metallic. Nope, that's not how it's done.
