75cl Bottle, bought at the brewery, thanks Harmen! The weirdest pouring beer I’ve seen so far, looks very slimey and syrupy. Muddy light brown colour, looks like liquid Werther’s Original, soapy off white head. Aroma is sour, light floral, a bit fruity. Flavour is rather bitter, floral, tart-sour, hint of caramel, sour-bitter finish. Slimey mouthfeel, thick, lots of carbonation. OK.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
From a bottle - it pours a hazy orange with a minimal white head. The aroma slightly sour/tart smell with woodsy notes and funkyness. The flavour is a bit sweet a bit of lemon and citrusbut with a very dry finish.This one is perfect on the carbonation, but overall a pretty great beer.
1.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pours thick, looks like corn syrup pouring out of a bottle. Little bits of carbonation fight it’s way through the thickness to break in small isolated blooms of bubbles. Looks terrible. Nose is floral and pine, bit of citrus try to make their way in to. Taste is bitter and a little sweet. Mouthfeel is overwhelming everything else. Having a hard time getting past how thick it is. Literally syrup. The aftertaste is crisp but the beer is so heavy it’s almost unbearable to drink. It’s a drain pour. I pray that I can get my hands on another vintage of this bottle and try it becaues this has to be a mistake.
