Draft at Grote Dorst. It pours pretty clear muted golden with a bubbly white cap. The aroma is toasty grains, damp, musty, kitty litter, play dough, bready, here is some fruit, gooseberry and white currant. The taste is firmly dry, quite bracing acidity, enamel rip, puckering, gooseberry, sour white grape, sea buckthorn, tannin, musty, damp oak, deep funk and some chalky minerality. Medium body, flat and slick. Quite sharp up against the others we had in the lineup. A prickly unblended fella.
