Bottle shared with dédé. Nice clear ruby to purple. Massive grapes, soft funk, yoghurt, wheat. Jammy and fruity and soft Cantillon light sour lambic. Lovely as always.

Bottle shared. Clear golden. Quite dry, with soft fruit. This batch seems a bit more dry then earlier ones, but otherwise great.

Can. Slight hazy golden. Huge coffee with pecans, cocoa, earthy. Soft citrus, crisp malts. Huge coffee in a very nice way, but not very much IPA. Nice malt base though. Just medium sweet and bitter. Crisp oily body.

Can. Clear lighter golden with small white head. Sweet malts, there's a lot of pils malts here in a soft sugary way, not super crisp or bready. Some dank hops, light zesty. Very modern style but bit in the background, maybe also because this is not super fresh. Just medium sweet, light bitter. Crsip medium bodied. Quite OK, but in this style maybe a bit more bitterness would work better.

Bottle from Vott webshop. Hazy purple with short lasting white head. Quite some elderberries, plums, sweet apple, light mineral, a touch of funk, strawberries. Under medium seeet, light sour and bitter. Solid medium bodied, just medium dry. Not especially "bone dry" like it says on the label, but a pretty decent fruity Dutch cider. I guess the elderberries really help.

Can. Slight hazy golden. Pineapple juice, sweet malts, guava, citrus hops, wheat, alcohol. There's some nice fruits, but also boozy malts and a unrefined kettle sour base that has a light tortilla taste. Not my thing, maybe it's also a little old I don't know.

Can at home. Clear red with fluffy pink head. Sweet and sour berries, bery candy, soft green apple, light herbal, chalky. Just medium seeet, light sour. Over light body, a bit crisp and medium dry. Not too sweet or soda like, but also not great.
