750ml bottle (ChrisO Pre-GBBF2011 "Donkey Dork Lord" Shindig)
Very lemony aroma. Sharp and crisp palate, nicely refreshing. Winey character negligible, fortunately, it’s mostly turned to real and welcome acidity. Covers 8.3% well.

Bottled@The Chriso Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011 "Donkey Dork Lord Edition". Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, some alcohol, mild tartness as well. Flavour is the same with very white wine like dryness.

Scopey (1192) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - AUG 7, 2011
Bottle at chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig ’11. It pours hazy orange-yellow with a thin, bubbly white head. The nose is farmyard, tangy orange and lemon, white grape and mango. The taste is tangy orange, mango, melon, pineapple, lime and sour white grape, with a sweet-sour finish. Nice balance. Refreshing and very drinkable stuff.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JUL 31, 2011
Bottle at Chriso’s. Aroma is grape, lemon, yogurt. Light and airy body, great. Flavor is lactic, with ypgurt, grapes, and a soft sourness. Palatte is soft and wonderful. Great beer. Probably the best beer at a phenomenal tasting.

Clear golden color, small white head. Fruity, white wine aroma. Tart, white grapes flavor with hints of leather. Like drinking dry vinho verde. Interesting.
