Jolie bière limpide à la teinte orangée avec une coiffe d’une bonne densité. L’effervescence est régulière. Le nez est principalement axé sur les levures sauvages avec une petite touche fruitée qui évoque le vin blanc annoncé sur la bouteille. En bouche, le gros fun commence! L’acidité est balancée par une touche vanillée; l’amertume trouve son match avec le côté plus fruitée; l’alcool se laisse oublier dans un pétillement digne d’un bon champagne. Dieu que j’aimerais en avoir une autre bouteille en réserve.

Bottle shared by NobleSquirrel. Thanks, dude! Pours a deeper dark amber biscuity hue, darker with good haze, some floaties and frothy tannish head atop. Dies to a firm layer, laces ok. Aromas are a bit sweet, touches of fruity apple, pear and biscuit. Some touches of champagne yeast, pear and biscuits, bread and dough. Some white grape, biscuits. A bit sweet and sticky with a touch of dust. Initial is lighter end of medoum bodied, a good deal of white grape, kiss of champagne yeast. Dry and gentle pear, apple sweetness kiss in. A touch of body, biscuits and white grape. Mellow yet growing dry earthy hops, some melon and white grape. Touch of spicy yeast. Gentle sweetness, a bit biscuity. Some spice, a touch of tartness, dry earthy hops and mellow yeast hits the palate. Pretty nice, a bit sweet on the nose and backend. But overall, pretty well put together, some good hops and spicy yeast. Nice flavors.

Amber pour, brett-domianted. It has some vinous fruit notes, some dy tannic oak, its decent.

10.05.2013, 0,75l bottle @ home (almost 7 months old): Nice creamy head. Aroma is fresh funky, slightly dry bretty, citrus, over ripe mountain berries, grass, citrus peel, tropical fruit, hay, wet leafs, wood, some alcohol. Taste is fresh, slightly dry, fruity, citrus, brett, lemon peel, passion fruit, wood, alcohol, grass. Medium dry mouthfeel and bitterness. I’m pretty weak for fresh bretty beers. Even though this isn’t the best I’ve had, it’s still very good and easy drinking.

Nose of acid, catpiss, grapefruit, mandarine orange, durian, manure, wood. Strange and fascinating. Bright, glowing orange color with lace. Slightly sour, funky flavor, grapefruit and mandarine, sweet biscuits, grape, pomegranate. Rich fruity sweetness makes a good contrast to the funk. Great.

Tap in the Mikkeller Bar. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is rich citrus, but a little week. The flavour is kinda bitter sweet and sour with the sweetness winning overall. There is oak and white wine plus plenty of other things going on. I’m not sure what I really think of this beer. I should order another to be sure.

Sample at mikkellers. Thin creamy white head. clear amber pour. complex aftertaste.

Draft at Mikkeller. Pours clear amber with an off white head. Aroma of brett, barnyard, horse blanket, white wine, citrus, light fruits, caramel. Flavour is moderate sweet and acidic. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
