Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde. Clear golden, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of overripe plum, gooseberry, nectarine, quince, vague smoked cheese, horseblanket, hay - all in all quite Geuze-like. Taste has sour plum, quince & gooseberry in a sourdough-like malt body, surrounded by funky hay & cheese. Tart, bretty finish, lingering stone fruit, hay and smoke. Medium body, slick-moussy texture, average carbonation. Smoky and funky elements working well together at only 3.8%.
