Small white head, fed by lively carbonated, hazy yellow-orange beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Sourish nose, pickles; cucumbelike greenmalt. Smells... unripe. Outspoken sourish flavour, sour grain, sourmash; Pedio or lacto. Again: carbonated liquid pickles. Very spritzy, as if overcarbonated - or is it the infection? Light body, much lighter than the Ameye version. Well...

Lleugera i amb poc cos. Més aviat seca per ser una cervesa belga. Fàcil de beure. Bona relació qualitat-preu.

33 cl bottle - Pours bright yellow golden with little head. Very low aromatic intensity - notes of grass and something citrussy. Light body and nice palate - vivid freshness from start to beginning with sweet undertone - nice (one wouldn’t say it has almost 7% alcohol). Taste is that of bread and yeast. Nice aperitive but lacks intensity.

Bottle.... It pours hazy golden with a small white head... the aroma is yeast, hops and some fruits... the flavor is yeast, fruits and spices ..... nice Belgian Ale.....

Rather stinging and stale aroma with some berry bush. Flavour is unpleasant with some sour berries and citrus. Not good, too much berries and harsh bitterness.
