Bottle 33 cl from Systembolaget - Malmö (S). Blonde with scents of citrus, pineapple, sour apple, fermentation. The taste is malted with yeast, lemon, citrus, cardamom. Perfumed and grassyhop, tart notes with fruit and herb. Crispy beer, dry and astringent.

vyvvy (2798) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - FEB 7, 2012
Pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma has pale malt, funky brett, dry peach and some bubblegum. Medium / light body that’s crisp and has semi-sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with the aroma traits, but has no bubblegum and is very dry and husky with more spices. The finish is fruit, peppery and has a bit of sulfur. If this was an affordable six pack I’d drink this a lot, but it’s cost prohbitive to do that.

ysusi (17) - Mexico, MEXICO - JAN 25, 2012
Bottle. Yellow to golden color. Medium white head, large bubbles, quickly goes down. Classic brett aromas, some malts, light floral hops, some cardamom. Slightly sweet, goes into the bitterness and ends with a tart dry finish. Quite light and refreshing. Interesting, but far from my favorites from Mikkeller.

maneliquor (1008) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JAN 25, 2012
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours like piss with a bubbly white head. This brew was weird. Tore me a little in two. On one hand it was a lovely, slightly tarty and sour belgian ale. On the other hand, it produced lots of weird fishy tones and reminded me of off fish. Hmmm

djd07 (1407) - Houston, Texas, USA - JAN 19, 2012
On tap at Night after Monsters. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a small off white head leaving spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is banana, citrus, and clove. Thin mouthfeel with a bitter tea flavor and lemon peel. A decent Belgian from Mikkeller.

11.2 oz. bottle courtesy of lamas. Poured lively, bubbly, hazy gold. Faint sour nose. Funky, tart flavor of apples and lemon. Thin on the palate, fizzy. Almost champagne like. Crisp and refreshing.
