This bottle was obtained from the Bir & Fud bottle shop in May, 2011. This was a commemorative beer for the 1st year of the 2nd Bir & Fud and has a consume by date of December 2009. Given as a gift, it was already a year and a half past that date when I got it, and now 2 years later. It popped when opened, so I was surprised it has absolutely no carbonation left. Aroma is funky with some wet horseblanket, orange zest, grapes. Tastes of light bready malt, brett, orange rind, honey, and cinnamon spice. This now has more of a lambic appearance, totally flat with no carbonation. No doubt more of a beer then than it is now, but still tastes pretty good if you can get by the lack of carbonation and think of it more as a lambic, though one that is sweet and bitter.

Cloudy golden with a small white head, Funky aroma with peach and apricot notes. Dry and fruity flavour with funk and a hint of wood.

Hazy color, deep blond. A quite plesant blond ale, but now too old, therefore some honey trace appears; the gentiane also has some presence.
