Very odd beer, sour with an odd hoppy finish. Really odd flavor because the finish is hoppier than fruity.

Bottle, bought @ Mikkeller Bar, Cph.
Light hazy dark golden with a lovely, staying, creamy, white head. Great lacings. Aroma is lovely sour, funky and fruity. Light peppery, some funk, a tad milky, citric sour. Good oaky balance. High carbonation, fine dry and drying mouthfeel. Great flavour, pineapple, cranberries, funk, very oaky dry. Light vanilla notes, green apple, pepper. Lovely lingering very dry and a tad bitter finish. A very interesting and very lovely fruity sour.

The lychee is a delicate fruit, I always though it just smelled like sugar syrup or something. This one is slightly tart, could have used more sourness, a decent beer.

Bottle shared by Sarah, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a ruby hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of funk with some nice light lychee and a hint of sweet grains. Flavor begins light with a nice growing tart lychee note with sweet grains and a decent amount of funk.

Bottle via ImstilltheGman.. Copper orange in color, decent little head that didnt stick around.. Nose of some fruity, yeast, spices, tartness. Taste is nice... Intially a nice tartness filled with spices and a dry yeast notes. Sort of like an earthy saison.... flowrs, corriander......followed by a nice sour/tartness in the background. Easy to drink.... Overall nice brewski. Thanks Guy
