3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20On tap at HaandFestival 2012. An unclear, amber to brown beer topped by a finger-thick off-white to beige head leaving lacings. Vinegar, some berries and a caramel-like sweetish touch in the aroma. Caramel sweetness in the flavor too, but mostly it’s tart and vinegarish. Some peppery hints and raspberries too. Very tart and sourish on the palate, smooth and nicely carbonated. Vinegar, some berries and a caramel-like sweetness in the finish. A nice one indeed, although a bit on the vinegar side. Especially like the peppery touch, that was really, really nice. 120504
