Bottle shared at work. Pours deep golden with a pink hue and a big white head. Nose is funky, low booze, low sweetness, grapes, big fruits. Taste is moderately sweet and tart with a big funky touch, showing notes of wood, grapes and sophisticated brett notes. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Tasty.

Tap at Mad. Pours ruby with thin head. Nose is fruity notes, vinegar, light wood. Taste is sharp sourness first, then come the fruity notes in a lot of shapes, some wood also appears. Closes with long lasting sour finish, has light body and soft to average carbonation.

Bottle shared at Lya. Pours deep, clear golden with white head. Nose is intense citruses, light lactic sourness, a touch of peat. In taste the citruses mix beautifully with the notes of Laphroaigh, resulting in a citrusy, lightly tart, somewhat peaty and woody sip, that closes with a long lasting finish. Light bodied with am average to lively carbonation. Interesting idea put into practise nicely, outstanding beer.

Tap at Mad. Deep, opaque golden pour, white head. Nose is awesome funk, faint elderflower, woody notes, fruity esters. Taste is some acetic acid, not too much but enough to make it fun. Wood, esters again, light booze, floral notes and elderflowers on the palate. Closes with moderately sweet ajd boozy, funky finish, has light to medium body and soft to average carbonation. Lovely.

Tap at Mad. Deep golden pour, white head. Nose is low funk, light esters, defnite basil. Taste is full on basil as well with additional notes of wood, funk and fruity esters, light to medium sourness. Closes with tart finish, has a light body and avergae carbo. I liked it, but the basil is borderline too much tbh.

Tap at Mad Kert. Semi opaque golden pour with white head. Nose is funk, cucumber and some spice, esters and some actual paprika. Taste is moderate to intense sourness, cucumber and paprika with spicy tones all around it. It does taste like actual cucumber, lovely. Closes with a long lasting tart and spicy finish, has a light body and soft carbonation. I love it when a beer delivers exactly what it promises and at the same time it’s to my liking.

Bottle shared with Petra and Jose. Pours copperish ruby with an off-white head. Nose is lactic and acetic acid, leathery funk and fruity notes. Taste opens with a sharp acidic character, there's lactic and acetic acid and the latter dominates, there's lots of fruits afterwards and some earthy, spicy funk. Closes with tart, jammy fruits and mixed ferm notes, has a light, semi-dry body and soft to average carbonation. Tasty, but nothing out of this world.

Bottle shared with Petra and Jose. Pours opaque golden with no head. Nose is very interesting mix of citric, floral and herbal notes and some funk. Taste is moderately tart, showing funk, lactic and slight acetic acid with that fruity-citric-herbal character that was present in the aroma. Closes with a tart, citric and herbal finish, has a light to medium body and soft average carbonation. There's that interesting character that I can't really put my hand on. I've never had medlar before but I guess it's coming from that. Anyway, funny and unusual but definitely quality.
