Medium off-white, fast gone head over faintly hazy orange-foxy beer with a golden shine. Vinous, C-hops in the nose, with old wine casks and Brettanomyces. Lambic-like with a vinous, sherry-like quality from a good flor. Extra-dry finish, refreshing all the same. Dry-out effect. I want more of this! Amazing that the lambic doesn’t overwhelm the pale ale completely. MANY thanks to Jean Hummler for this bottle!

375ml bottle I picked up at La Cervezateca in Barcelona. Pours a transparent, goldish yellow with a creamy, bright white head. Aroma was interesting... it’s like a floral, perfumey bar of soap. Some light candy in there too. Flavor is very sweet, almost too sweet. Candy, caramel, a little apricot, a little bubblegum. Finish is watery with some lingering sweetness. Where are the hops in this Pale Ale?

375ml bottle I picked up at La Cervezateca in Barcelona. Pours a translucent, nutty, brownish amber with a soft, creamy, bright white head. Settled like a pint of Guinness. Bottle conditioned. Nose is nice, brown sugar, cookie dough, nuts, lightly brown toasted bread. Flavor is sweet, nutty, grainy, brown sugar with a wonderful hint of milk chocolate that makes the end very smooth. Finish is dry. Very drinkable. If this is Barcelona beer then it’s a good start.

Hazy deep blond color. Interesting sour aroma, fruity, with Bretts and cobwebs. Good body strength, dry and milky malts, dry toffee flavor but also with a light residual sugar; and immediately the astringency and cellar character appear; it’s close to a Lambic, sweeter, fruitier, easier to drink; the yeast left a very nice fruity side; elegant and intriguing. Wonderful.

Hazy light amber color. Interesting aroma: sour, tarty, woody, lemony; Bretts; even very light hazelnuts in the end. Medium body, a ligh malt flavor is immediately taken over by the medium sourness and astringency. Maybe too dry at the end. Interesting effort.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is very fruity - peaches, as well as some notes of brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet with an underlying acidity and notes of brettanomyces, malt, straw, grapefruit, and some minerals, leading to a lightly tart and dry fininsh. Thanks yespr for sharing.
