Bottle. Almost clear golden colour with a medium white head and some lacework. Rich aroma and taste of fruits and citrus with heavy acidic notes.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sour lactose, cheese, malt, hops and notes of caramel.

Well hidden alcohol - sour and slightly vinegary, but not in an overpowering way - really in a very refreshing way - oakiness comes through, but still very light. Excellent.

You notice the aroma before the color as it explodes out of the bottle. Color is clear honeycomb and a plush, white pillow head looks nice but is gone too quickly. The oak is amazing on the nose. Bright citrus, this is very difficult to describe....but I like it! Full mouthfeel - the oak aging gives it some nice sour aspects. Complex, yet structured, taste with a chewy yeast throughout the palate. Difficult to describe...yet so tasty. Mouth

bottle (Bochum!). Clear golden colour, small white head. Fruity-sour nose. Shy malty background with lots of fruity sourness and a touch of vinegar.

Bronze yellow in colour with small white head. Aroma is refresching with note of citrus, wet wood and old hops, the taste is a little rustic with touches of old gueuze, hay, herbs and unripe green fruits
