UPDATED: JUN 7, 2005 Tap. Apple vinegar aroma - light yeast and must tones. Cloudy light brown with small head. Very ciderlike inititally with a sweet and sour light malt and bitter finish. Body was a bit weak. Interesting - a bit like a weak Gueuze. Bottle version was much less acidic and lighter as well as being a darker brown.
