Thanks to Huhzubendah for opening this one at the Fantome tasting. Served in a Fantome tulip.
Pours a hazy light golden color with a short white head. Light lacing. The nose has a very strong oregano component with some grain behind that. Not much though. Basically just the oregano with a bit of other spice. Flavor isn’t quite as heavy on oregano. Light body. Strange, but good.

2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 SlovakSniper (1183) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 22, 2012
(75 cl) Une bière dorée et voilée. Des sédiments qui flottent. Un pauvre col mousseux. Des parfums et des flaveurs de fleurs et de vinaigre. Une bouche défraîchie, un corps malade, un pétillement sur le respirateur artificiel. Une finale aigre. Une vieille bouteille qui, dans ces conditions, m’a coûtée la peau des fesses.

bottle @ RBBWG 2012 thanks to Sebletitje. Hazy blond yellow coloured beer with almost no carbonation and a small white head. Spicy and heavy oregano infused herby aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is herby. Oregano is comming through clearly. Longer dry herby ending with only some small bitter sweet touches. Alternative brew.
