4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12.7oz bottle, 2012 vintage. Pours ever so slightly reddish tinged gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is lovely; fruity Belgian yeast, brett, white wine and some floral notes. Taste starts out moderately sweet, with notes of yeast, fruits and malts. Then there is an overlay of more tart/dry white wine and oak here that is wonderfully balanced with the yeast/fruit notes so the finish is more tart than sweet. Slighly warming notes from the alcohol but not at all overpowering. Overall, this is a really terrific, complex beer with a great balance where all the flavor notes complement, but don’t overwhelm each other. Really lovely.

Bottled shared by Marcus. Pours a pinkish? tinged gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is earthy Belgian fruit/esters. With grassy hop? Med minus body. Flavor is light, but firm, fruity esters. Tends towards mild red berry. I’m tempted to say strawberry. It’s finishing towards tart.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours clear copper golden with a large, frothy, white head. Great duration. Aroma has lovely oak, grapes, sweet malts, citrus, green apple. Medium, prickly carbonation, oily and very dry mouthfeel. Flavour is elegant, very oaky with some vanilla, vinious, grapes, citrus zesty bitterness. Some funk and a good balance between the wine aspects and the malts sweetness.
