Gumby, you are a baller. This rarity poured a very hazy, light orange, perhaps apricot color. The aroma is amazing, grapefruits, lemons, summer stone fruits, meadow flowers, and yes, that Cantillon funk. The flavor is more than I expected, bringing me back to my childhood, beckoning a memory of grapefruit gummy candies. An amazing balance seems to be found between the sweet and tart, the earthy and the funky. Absolutely world class.

Jul 12, 2008 25.4 oz, bottled 2005. The last of my oceanside ratings; Bethany, DE. Clear straw orange with a ring of white froth. Nose is funky lemon pith with touches of honey, oak and basil. Body is medium light and juicy with tiny carb. Taste is sour lemon up front with cheese, maybe gouda, cranberry, apricot and cherry skins.

Jul 3, 2008 75 cL bottle, brewed in 2005. Pours hazy orange and with a white, semi-lasting - slowly diminishing with a nice lacework left. Aroma is mild orange fruit and nicely blended with a dry wood and brett-citric aroma, dry horseblanket too. Dry wooden initial flavour. Hops seem to completely gone. Shows a nice citric flavour following this. Mild sulphorish note before the finish. Smooth and balanced wood and delicate fruit flavour into the finish. Seems to have a bit of bitterness into the far finish.
