(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy, pale amber golden with a rough, off-white head leaving some lacework. Unclean aroma with a touch of citrus. Light in body with an excessive carbonation. Some weird Brettish accents without any real sourness. A little fruit and caramel but no bitterness. Interesting. 311007

Cask@GBBF2008. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruity, flowery and wooden. Flavour is malty, slightly grassy as well as earthy. Wellbalanced, but not very much surprises.
