On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma has quite intense wine barrels, gentle bugs, gentle funk, and a bit of sweat socks. Flavour is tart, buggy and mineraly – very odd – there’s tons of wine barrels, seltzer notes, some light cleaner. Hmm, this one is strange: some nice elements and not so nice.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is spicy/floral/citrus. Med body or nearly. Flavor has more grapefruit than anything. Not super strong, but good. Light spiciness. Very light. Malt is nicely subdued but lends a presence. Arguably clean and crisp. Very good for the style.

From tap at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, during Carnivale Brettanomyces 2017. Crisp and fruity aroma with citrus, plenty of wood, funk, touch of stone fruits, zest. Flavour is above medium sour with a surprising bitterness and a dry as bone finish. Body is medium. Good, surprisingly bitter, but lacks the complexity of a great Lambic. ************** Enjoyed again from tap at Other Half, New York, as a blend of 2016, 2017 en 2018. More complex than the previous edition I had. Upgrade.
