2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, shared by fonefan. A clear golden beer with a minimal off-white ead. Slightly sour on the nose, but mostly citrusy and fruity. The sourness is present in the mouth too, but in a nice brett-ish way. Surely not intended. Fruity too, but not much maltyness going on. Dry, slightly astringent mouthfeel and a sourish finish. Nice in a way, but sure gone bad. (080823)

Bottle at Ulfborg RB tasting. Thanks fonefan! Poured hazy golden with a fine white head. Aroma is citric but also brett like as if it was a bit infected. Flavour is fruity and citric but the brett is there again. Need to be rerated if possible.
