Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thank you, plovmand]
I was seriously looking forward to this, and it surely didn’t disappoint. Pours hazy yellow with small floaties and a small, staying, creamy white head. Aroma is sweet at first, quite dry, notes of pine and apples. Fine, very dry mouthfeel. Flavour starts of sweet, with overripe apples, dry oakiness, brett notes and light pine. Super, super balance and a beer I could sip on for hours...
