750 ml bottle - pours dark orange with a tiny shimmering head, odd. Aroma of superartificial apple juice, lime and cloves - not cool. Apple juice comes back but with a dustry and stringent mouthfeel. Quite repellant. Total miss. Pity

Bottle. Aroma of pear, tart apples, grassy hops, and some funk. Appearance is cloudy orange-copper with a nice light beige head. Good lacing. Taste is a bit of barnyard funk, candi sugar, citrus peel, grassy hops, and a bit of alcohol. Medium body. Good carbonation. Very enjoyable

330ml bottle (shared by FatPhil, thanks). Hazy, brown color with nice ice-cream top. Vinegar, sour and yeast in aroma. Taste is sour and not sour at the same time. Yeast and hops are detectable, nice mouthfeel. Nice mild bitterness. Drinkable brew.

A - Dark copper-orange with a finger of frothy off-white head. Fades normal. S - Sweet caramel and dark fruit malts, sour and funky yeast, vanilla, candi sugars, bit of booze. T - Sweet caramel and dark caramel malts, dark fruits, sour cherry, some funkiness, candi sugars, a bit of vanilla, and a bit of booze. M - Medium-plus bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth with a sour, sweet, and warming finish. D - Nice Wild Ale. Could use a bit more kick but the smooth sourness is nice.

Pours a burnt orange color with no head. Aroma of apple cider, raisin, plum and hint of funk. Dry finish with apple and cherry flavor with hint of sour. Very nice beer!

coppery with light tan head. raisins and plums in aroma, with some hints of citrus in the back. complex taste, sweet, fruity with decent bitterness. mouthfeel is light to medium and high to medium carbonation.

The golden amber color was deeper in shade than most BSPAs, and the the head atop was three finger thick. The smell was not typical of a wild ale, as I did not get any Brett character via the nose. I could only detect sour cherries and honey via the nose. The taste was similar to the smell, with honey like sweetness, and green apple sourness. There was a bit of an unexpected hop bite to this as well. The body was on the light side of medium, and aided in the quenching nature of the beer. The alcohol was very well hidden, and the strength lable was shocking compared to the experience.

Beige creamy head. Brown colour. Aroma is malty, fruity (pineapple, banana and fig) with light candy notes. Flavor is malty too with fruity (peach, walnut and date) and light alcohol tones, ending in a moderately amaretto finish. Medium to full bodied.

75cl Bottle @ Kulminator shared with Robin and Stefaan. Darker blond to amber coloured beer with some light carbonation and a medium remaining white head. Special light herby and almost grainy yeasty hinted aroma. Full palate. FInish is dry herby bitter hinted with a herby yeasty hint. Nice.
