Bottle. [thank you, dedollewaitor]
[at dedollewaitor’s Odense tasting]
Pours lightly hazy amber with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has cherries, light yest, quite funky tartness and light toffee. Fine, quite lively mouthfeel. Super flavour, stunningly balanced, light toffee with a great fruity tartness. Wonderful.

cloudy orange, smooth large white head. aroma is sour and vineagra , no stable, real very very good sour aroma flavor is a little bit more sour than what would be perfect, other than that a very nice blend, hints of hops.

This beer has a beautiful bronze color and the head is limited. The aroma is sour with notes of horse blanket, fruit and caramel. The flavour is sour with light notes of vinegar, wood, horse blanket, sweet fruits and the finish is sourish and slightly dry.

Cloudy amber with a small off-white head. Great funky brett aroma, lots of grapefruit. Sweet and fruity at first, tartness and some bitterness makes it perfect, with background notes of alcohol and wood.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich brett, straw, malt, leather and is nice and acetic.

Corked bottle. Light amber color, hazy. lemon, grapefruti, oak and leather in the bretty aroma. Sour flavor, oaky with lemon. Dusty with some flowery hops. Plums and leather. Lambic dominates the character of this beer. Leathery vinous aftertaste with a considerable dry out effect. Excellent!

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Orange colour. Powerfull sour aroma. Great sour flavor. Long fantastic complex finish. Creamy palate. Exstremely great stuff.

Bottle at Die Heeren van Liedekerke. Color of tea with a large, frothy, lacing beige head. Aroma of very mild funk. Medium body with slightly frothy carbonation. Flavor is light peachy fruit, sour and funk.Finishes mouth smacking.

Draught. Amber coloured. Unclear. Dense light brown head. Vinegar, light sweetness, spice, earth and light barnyard in the nose. Quite intriguing. Sourness, grape, berries and vinegar again in the flavour. Quite dense and complex. Has a dry grapish mouthfeel and is medium to full bodied.. Ends on a refreshing grapish note. This is a very nice beer.

Bottle… This beer rocks!… Cloudy amber/gold ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Decent retention. The aroma is totally funkadelic. I buried my nose in the glass and let my feeble mind go… olfactory-numbing funkiness… bacteria… cheese… leather... saddle… pasture… pale grains… aged, earthy hops... and on and on. Tastes sweet right up front, but that’s quickly raked under by moderate, funky acidity and very firm (for the style) bitterness. Medium to full-bodied and milky with ticklish carbonation. Tart, lightly bitter, tongue-numbing finish. A big THANKS goes out to boboski for sharing this great bottle of beer!
