Got some must in the aroma along with some yeast as well.Pours dark brown with a light off white head.Slight spice and yeast stands out in the flavor.Thin to medium mouthfeel with some musty yeast in the finish.

(33 cl bottle at The Rover, Göteborg) Hazy dark murky muddy brown color, tan head. Dominating sour and lactic acid mixed with milk scent. Spicy and strawberry yogurt taste, mixed with yeast. Smooth mouthfeel. Spicy aftertaste, low bitterness.

In the bomber bottle at the 2006 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. Pours a dark amber to light brown with a thin off white head. Has an acidic sour aroma. Mild chocolate sweetness blends into a tart acidic, but mildly so, finish. A potential training beer for those who want to someday try a Flemish sour? I like it.

Cloudy amber color. Smell of slight alcohol and grapes. The alcohol smell doesn’t come through in the taste. Sweet fruity pleasent taste. Dry but with a decent body. I enjoyed it.

dark ruby brown. smells like candy earth raisins and hops. tastes like berries corks dates a hint of sourness. very light bodied and a lil watery though not a great beer but not the real deal
