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.

Taste at the Weldwerks Invitational, 2025. Straw color, with a fair, frothy, off-white head. The nose is hard cheese, spruce, lemon verbena, and musty attic. Dry, earthy, and citrusy. Medium body, acidic, and sticky. Bright, sharp, and beautiful.

Bottle. Cloudy golden. Fruity something, too much flower and perfume for me. Bitter, front heavy, edgy. A bit funky. Not sure I like this. But the bottle looks nice.

Bottle picked up from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands, had this in the company of Jonas, Ursula and Marko Saturday 8th February 2025 at home, Manglham cooking Lasagna later and listening to ByteFM. Loz has made three different types of bread and a Gooseberry Crumble Cake. Pours hazy, dirty yellow with a white head. Hoppy, funky and distinctly yeasty. Nice mouthfeel, actually forgot to say this wasn't a gusher but it was a little bit excitable. Very drying in the mouth, actually quite soft also, nice carbonation
