Thanks to Don for sharing! Very smooth nose. Hints of herbs. The beer starts nice sour, fresh, easy to drink. The mainpart is fruity-fresh, herbal, citrus-mango, very great. Tropical fruit is everywhere (Mango, passion fruit, pineapple). The aftertaste is fresh, fruity, nice fresh sour. Great beer! 14/13/14/13

Bottle big thanks to Bill. It pours cloudy gold with a small white head. The nose is hay, barnyard, funk, must, orange citrus, vanilla, toasted coconut and orangeade. The taste is crisp, tart, lemon peel, sherbet, light alcohol, some acidity, juicy, orange peel and a touch of bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice orange character. Crisp, tart and very drinkable. Tasty.

Bottle split at Chriso, thanks to BY, 10/07/14. Hazed golden orange with moderate off white spotting and edgework. Nose is peach, floral, pissoi, green berry fruit, light must, touch dungy, citric sherbets, funk. Taste comprises lemon rind, spice, light musty dankness, tangy satsuma, piss, straw, dank wood, tarte citric peel, funky undertones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid enough but probably my lowest rated beer from De Garde which is testament to them at 3.6!

Many thanks to Don for sharing this beer! Smooth, fruity, sour, but nice freshly. Nice fruity profile with fresh sourness and fresh blackberries. Great. In the aftertaste it is fresh-sour, smooth, easy drinkable but still very deep in aroma. 13/12/14/13

750 ml bottle. Aroma is full of Bretty top cal fruit, pineapple and cherry. Medium light citrus notes of tangerine with a hint of pine resin and floral grass. Light wheat notes and light acidity. Medium light oak notes. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, golden yellow with a moderately thick, fluffy white head that displays average retention as it recedes to the edges where it lingers forever. Flavor is moderately acidic with a nice citrus complexity of tangerine, lemon and mandarin. Moderate, but balanced hop notes of resin, tropical fruit and floral grass. Medium oak notes and medium light Brett notes of tropical fruit and pineapple. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a super enjoyable beer. Lots of great citrus notes along with tropical fruit. Nice, integrated oak notes with moderate acidity. Hop notes adds a really interesting character. Honestly, the flavor isn’t what you expect from a Berliner, some won’t like it, but I really enjoy it.

Bottle @ Stephen’s house. Thanks Bill! Pours a deep brown appearance with a light brown head. Plum, a bit roasty / smoky malty, oak, and mild cherries in the nose. Somewhat juicy. a bit tannic, light vinegar, black cherry, slight leather flavor. A bit of sweetness. Pretty cool brew.
