bottle, thanks to bu11zeye, reddish gold poured, with thick foam, quite sour , leathery notes with dry red wine, quite sour with a bitter finish

(375ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Clear amber/slightly pink with pinkish fine bubbled head. Nose of currant, moderately tart, lacto, strawberry. Taste of metal, tart currant and cranberry, lacto, cellar, mossy, yogurt and herbs. Currant linger, cranberry, great palate finish.

Sort of an amber colored beer with a small off-white head. A strong rubber aroma to begin with. Grass and oak along with grape and currant aromas. A moderate tartness, mostly lactic acidity. The flavor is sort of mediocre. Lightly tart with heavy fruit flavors of currant and grape. Some of the same rubber and plastic notes that were present on the nose. Not as good as most of the others.

37.5 cl bottle @ home. Pours orange amber-ish with a small white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma is both sweet and sour with hints of sour berries and redcurrant. Flavour follows the aroma quite well.

0.375 l bottle. Hazy orange amber color. Sweet and sour aroma with grapefruit, sulphur, almonds, currant skins and something perfumed. Sharply acidic flavor with grapefruit, citric acid, acetic acid, sulfur and red currant. Sharply acidic, feels like biting a lemon. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours a somewhat murky reddish brown with thin off white head. Sublte furity aromas show some acidity and just a touch of wood. Perhaps a little brett earthiness. Flavours show some sweetness from the fruity before a tart dry finish. Lively carbonation. Nice
