3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Sampled from the bottle at Zythos 03/08. Very pale yellow, quite high condition, foamy white head soon goes. Unusual lightly sour and lactic aroma with farmyard and tar/paint notes, light and fizzy almost cidery palate with a creamy quality, a lightly citric but not sour finish w hints of elderflower and kvass. Very refreshing but unusual and hard to rate. According to programme, brewed at behest of a linguist and an archaeologist, based on 4,000-year-old recipe and contains no hops. Brewed on 7 November 2007.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
ZBF 2008: Very interesting looking brew. Cloudy white with a little yellow hint. Aroma of fried lemon and herbs. Some coriander leaves and a dash of black pepper. An underlying sour flavor with green grass, salt water taffy, and of all things, a distinct edamame flavor! Long seaweed and edamame finish.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Really interesting, refreshing stuff. Sampled at ZBF. Lightly hazy, whitish-yellow color, thin filmy head. Sweetish, lemony nose, also floral and herbal notes. The initial, light sweetness goes mildly tart and lemony, again with that floral-herbal backdrop. Light acidity. Tart finish with a grainy aftertaste. Lots of greenery in there, but still quenching.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
White blond coloured beer, hazy, no carbonation and a small white head. Strange earthy grainy fresh sour aroma. Medium fruity palate. Finish is light sour fruity, grainy. Very refreshing and very special. Worth trying.
