T: sweet wort, yeast, touch of apple, bitter grain.

It does give the suggestion of somewhat more flavour and body.

Hazy orange, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of fermenting nectarine, apricot, wet hay, wood, grape, sour cream. Taste has sour plum, nectarine & grape; funky notes of hay, leather and sour cream (lactic acid) in a bready malt body. Very tart finish of grape skin & stone fruit pit, soft funky notes lingering. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Elegantly fruity and delicately funky, very enjoyable.
