Wisps of brown sugar on the nose with traces of acidity. Pours a reddish amber with a solid white head. Mild acidity upfront with some brown sugar notes. Not overly sweet but not very acidic either. Finishes very dry. Nice.

Bottle @ home, shared with Thompson. Light amber / dark copper color, thin white lacing on top. Smell malts and lots of grains. Tastes grainy and lightly sour. Pretty boring. Low to medium carbonation, low body.

37.5 cL bottle from ABS Drinks in Winksele poured into a Westvleteren glass at home. Foamy head over a fizzy amber beer. Smells sweet and of acetic acid. Dry, bitter finish, not as sour as I was expecting - the taste is a little underwhelming but fine. Reasonable.

(37.5 cl) Une mince couche de mousse flotte sur un liquide orangé. Au nez, des notes douces se choquent à des parfums boisés et floraux avec quelques microbes et une petite touche de beurre. Les saveurs acides et surettes sont rapidement contenues par le sucre. Des fruits semblent se définir : serait-ce la pomme? En bouche, le liquide a un corps moyen avec un pétillement bas et une texture légèrement huileuse. La finale se fait sur des notes aigres-douces plus ou moins intenses.
