Golden-orange in colour, lingering thin white head, some lacing. The aroma is very gueuze like, quite tart and sour, lots of barnyard qualities, nothing like I was expecting. The flavour is also quite gueuze-like, tart and sour (not quite as much as Cantillon or 3 Fonteinen), acidic citrus. Quite bitter mouthfeel turning more acidic and tart, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes highly acidic, long and very refreshing. One of the most unusual but at the same time original beers that I have had in a long time. Phenomenal.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle. [Tasting @ Papsoe 20-10-2008] Small bubbly white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Cloudy golden orange color. Aroma of leather, perfume, soap, barnyard, fruit, rubber, wheat. Heavy sour vinegar, citrus and fresh apple over the palate. Full bodied with a sparkling carbonation and dry texture. Heavy acidic flavor with good counter sweetness. Lingering sour rubber and leather finish.

Aug 5, 2008 Poured an opaque pale copper orange with frothy white head. The nose and flavor were awesome with cherry tartness, oak and funk. Excellent oak dry finish.
