Bottles from Covenhoven & Top Hops. Inadvertently bought this twice. Given that I hadn't really enjoyed the previous two, I'm a bit disappointed in myself. Ommegang anniversary glass. A murky orange, still pour. Smell is sweaty, macerated, lightly oxidized apples, musty leaves, bitter greens, wood chips, vinegar. Tart upfront, Lipton tea, extremely tannic, lemon, subdued earthy sweetness, popsicle stick, half sour funk finish. Second bottle was better for the first, even with a re-cork. Solid. Oliver's is damn good, but so scattered in distribution, glad someone else thought so too & did something about it.
