Bottle. Sweet-sour aroma of fruits. Hazy copper-amber body, enormous light tan head. Highly carbonated mouthfeel. Flavor is powerful, fruity, semi-sweet and tart. Very pleasing.

(Bottle, blend 4/2008, at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2008-12-05) Ruby red and clear. Hardly any head. Sour, fruity and rather complex nose. Full bodied and really dry palate with medium carbonation. Sourness, bitterness, some fruitiness, sweetness, wood and malts in taste. Sour and bitter aftertaste.

Flaske. Kunne slet ikke leve op til Oro de Calabaza som nok har trukket lidt point fra denne ellers meget fine øl. Rødlig brun, med et lille skumhoved. Rimelig sur men humlen kan smages. Fin øl men som skrevet tidligere overmatchet.

bottle 60cl shared with faroeviking at home. aroma is spicy sourish, not that strong. citrussy notes in there. appears unclear red brown, large head. flavor is sort of like beer and sour fruit beer mixed, aftertaste gets dry then sweeter like apple. not much acid, but the sourness is nice and refined, alc. well hidden.

Appears pretty muddy or dark cloudy with a perfumic nose. The palate appears rather waterish but the taste houners the beer with an interesting complexity. I taste spices, chives, ports, and some alcohol that makes me think of american brandys. The finish is dominated with alcohol too together with some vanilla

Cloudy orange pour, large lasting whitish head. Astringent fruit ester, yeasty aromas. Heavy sour fruit flavors. Almost overly carbonated in the mouth. Yeasty, improves slightly as it warms with some citrus and red fruits coming through, but it is overwhelmed by the sour to me. A wild ale, but just another typical belgian triple or double. Not my cup of tea. Just way too sour, which I guess is how its supposed to be.

Bouteille de 750 ml. Arômes fruités présentant des touches lactiques. Robe orangée, légèrement trouble. Effervescence à petites bulles et superbe mousse. Très bien équilibrée en bouche, un filet de malt caramel accompagne des touches citronnées, des fruits rouges et une belle touche sûre (lactique). Finale légèrement houblonnée. Très agréable à boire.
