75 cl bottle, BBE 06/2013
Blind tasting @ lusikka
Very high viscosity – looks like a hair gel. Aroma is sweet and sour with belgian yeast, fruits and citrus. Very thick palate. Flavour is tart and sour with some alcohol, fruits, rhubarb and farmhouse aroma. A bit messy with all the sourness and dryness. I guessed this to be a 7% saison.

Pours kissel or soup-like texture, orang color, no head. Aroma of sour fruits, apricot. Goose berries on the aroma and flavor, rhubarb, lots of fruits and mild spices. Quite odd to say the least.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
750 ml bottle. BBE 06/2013.
Pours a deep orange colour with an extremely high viscosity. Forms foam clusters and looks like a fruit soup. Aroma of strong apricot and some spices.
Flavour of sweet and tangy and slightly sour notes. Grapefruit too. Very, very fruity stuff. Did they put gelatine here or what? Finishes with alcohol and strong fruitiness. Weird but seems to work.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle.
Hazy amber with a large, fluffy white head.
The aroma was light sour with spices, lemon, barnyard and some light notes of alcohol. The taste was dry with spices, lemon, barnyard and some brett. Refreshing stuff.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at my CBC birthday, London, thanks to Paul. Pours cloudy gold with a fluffy, white head. Tangy lemon and grass in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with tangy lemon and doughy malts. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly drying on the finish with mild grassy bitterness, more dough and tangy, zesty lemon. Drinks impressively well.
