Bottle conditioned, ZBF 2004. Hazy gold, low white head and moderate condition. Initial aniseed aroma becoming fruity tart but with a background wild yeast note that I found distracting. Some fruitiness in the mouth but the infected edge was still intrusive and lingered into the finish. Either I had a bad bottle, or I just didn't understand what was going on with this one.

Hazy rich yellow, thin head. Soft light grainy aroma, some gentle hopping too. First taste was astounding - very gentle grains, some creaminess, some popcorn-like corn. I know that doesn’t sound so good, but each component was delicious. Later sips were less exciting, wheatier, heading towards a wit, and with a bit of lemon. Very interesting, quite a fun one to drink. Yeast changed very little, maybe added a slight liquorice component. IMHO drink without yeast for a crisper taste.

Aug 8, 2008 (Bottle, 0.75 l, at Kaisla on 2008-08-06) Golden. Hazy. Largish white head. Syrup, caramell and honey in nose. Full sugary palate. Finnish Easter pudding, syrup, light bitterness, liquorice, dried plum and hint of boiled cabbage in taste. Way too sweet.
