750 ml. bottle sampled @ Quintessence 2016. 2013 Vintage. Hazy golden, little off-white. Nose is nice funk, low sour stone fruit & some barn. Taste is a bit weird, rather mineral, lightly sour stone fruit, fizzy, low sweetness, no butter unlike some of the others, low sourness. Age has helped to clear out a lot of weird elements here, I would guess, best one I had from these guys at the festival despite the very low ratings here (36 & 4 respectively currently), bad batches etc. might be a play here. Strange but enjoyable.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ Quintessence 2016. Clear golden, little white bubbles. Nose is sour milky (less so than the regular version), low vinegar, oily, low bitter, touch puckering. Taste is oddly sweet with quite a bit of butter, tastes almost like sweet buttery lambiek, low stone fruit, biscuit,some apricot & beach, lactic. Body is buttery, strange not sure what is going on here given the amount of butter. Okay still & preferable to regular version.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ Quintessence 2016. Aged Barrica if I understand correctly (for one year) – aged on barrels blended with fresh Barrica. Not sure about barrels used, guy manning the stand wasn’t from the brewery & didn’t appear to be familiar with their beers. Very hazy orange, little creamy off-white head. Nose is sour, thick milky with some oak & vinegar . Taste is thick & milky, rotting fruit, stone fruit, milky yeast, weird spoiled stone fruit, low oak & good amount of Cava. Milky yeast body. Confusing & muted, less butter than some of the other beers based on Barrica, overall overly milky & odd. Not as bad as other said but not that great either. Liked the aged base beer more.
