Brown flip-top bottle containing 33cl of beer, freshness date of 30th April 2009, drank 20th July 2009. Bought at the brew-pub it was made in purely to review on BA and now here. Hope the beer stands up to being a little under-fresh. It is nearly midnight and I’ve been in the garden all day grafting, my garden looks a picture and I’m thirsty, this is the beer I’ve choosen to quench my thirst! Slotted into the fridge early evening, so the review is of a cooled rather than cold Oldgott. Poured in one, into my huge ’Judas’ tulip glass. The bottle opened with a resounding crack and poured a cloudy orange, dirty dull amber colour. On top of the body sat a full, well formed white foaming head. The head did fall away, but lacing and some foam was still there at the end. Aroma is Belgian to my nose, a sweet and sour mix with yeast and spices trying to grab your nasal hairs. Sour, like a lambic, is it off or should it taste like this? I think the vinegar fly might have got in my bottle. Only 5.2%ABV, but the sourness masks even that lowly strenght, strange, wierd and not very friendly in my opinion. Not what I was expecting, reasons? Maybe the date, maybe the bottle is off, maybe not cold enough, maybe I should have poured it more sedately, but this beer was a let down (and not cheap, even at its brewpub).
