Mad_Ferret (460) - SWEDEN - JAN 29, 2012
Bottle (dated 25 Aug. 2011). Hazy golden with a short sizzling white head that doesn’t lace. Aroma: Baking powder acidic with sharp citricacid, ammonia, wet moldy wood and brie cheese rind. Taste: Astringent and aggressively acidic with wood, slight hint of ripe apples, green apple zest, sharp note of brie rind. Baking powder. Mouthfeel is a bit thin with some watery notes and a battery acid kind of carbonation. Very aggressive and a bit thin, and I have a hard time finding the apricots. I had hoped for more of this one.

On tap at the Local Option. Pours a hazed, gold-yellow colored body with a finger-width, foamy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing throughout. Aroma is bigger apricots with a nice tartness, some perfumey citruses, a light funk, apple, a bit of an acidic sharpness, dry hay, and a touch of musty bread. Flavor is similar. Lots of tart apricots with a nice sweetness and funk, some oak, peach, slightly sharp citrus acids, and a light bready malt backing. Some straw towards the end as this finishes very dry, crisp, and refreshing with a solid tartness with lots of apricots, some citrus, and funk as well as a touch of malt backing. Lengthy aftertaste following a medium-light body and medium-high, lively, tingly carbonation. Overall, a really nice beer. Fairly sour, but balanced with a nice sweetness to the apricots and funky citrus. Very clean and refreshing. Very happy to have tried this on tap.

Bottle I brought back from Belgium. Sour aroma, acid, peach. First sip is very sour, but mellows out as you keep drinking. Great peach flavor. Awesome brew.

bottle courtesy of Em’s work(ass kissing) friend. POP! goes to cork. Pours a hazy golden hue capped by a light color head. Bubbling carbonation. Light and efervesant(sp?) nose. Puckering sour on first sip. Gobs of funk and brett. Mellows out as your palate adjust. light appricot skin flavor. Very light bodied. Rated via BeerBuddy
