Bottled, thanks Danko! Cloudy golden, lively head. Tart citric nose. Lemon and barnyard. Medium-full body, spritzy rounded mouthfeel. Honey and caramel with notes of butter under the funk. Mildy warming. Intense and really tasty.

Aroma of oak, tart apple, sour cherry. Appearance is cloudy orange\yellow body with white head, great lacing. Flavor matches the nose; very dry and mouth puckering. Palate is bubbly. Very good and interesting.

Che figata la Cuvée De Ranke ebbene sì mi mancava; abbiamo guardato Life of Brian dei Monty Python, film pieghevole.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours a deep hazy golden with medium off-white head. Aroma is sour, good carbonation, and some lacing. Taste is sour apple, sharop tart lemon, acidic, and some vinegar. Ok, but I don’t really like it.

75cl bottle. 33cl bottle. Pours a deep golden colour with a big off-white head. Aroma is vinegary and sour at first but this quickly changes as the fruitiness comes through. Taste is sharp and malty with caramel and acidic. Medium body with medium/high carbonation.

Bottle. 25.4 oz. Split with Vin. Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a fuzzy, soft white head which leaves a light ring. Aroma of peaches, oak, subtle vanilla, cheese, and barnyard funk. Medium bodied with a crispy, tart, if a a bit thin, palate. Finishes dry and tight with some modest sour fruit. Good sour.

Straw gold pour, frothy white head. Sour green apple, lemon, bready malt, leather funk, light grass, and a nice fruity sharp sourness. Not overly sour, drinkable and tasty.

750ml. Pours light golden with a small White head. Arp Is a nice sharp tartness and barnyard funk. Slight aged cheese, sour apple note. Flavor is delicious sharp sour funk, but not so sour it loses the smooth mouthfeel. Sharp and crisp finish. Medium body and a sharper carbonation. Delicious
