May 14, 2008 In short: A soft and delicate mixture of pinot noir, funky wood and abbey tripel.
Sampled at Brickskeller’s Lupulin Reunulin. Cloudy and hazy orange/dark yellow body sits under a pure white head. First smell is mild, soft barrel funk, some oak, some white wine - pinot noir - white grapes and alcoholic pears, altogether it’s very inviting and interesting, to say the least. A silky and oily texture greets the palate up front, then we see an increase in brightness, where it quickly develops a spicy richness alongside a tart pineapple fruit flavor. Let’s call it apples, feet and BO, that’s where it goes next, but throughout the experience you’re accompanied by an underlying white wine and oak character that makes this beer.

Jul 5, 2008 Growler shared by beastiefan2k. Deep golden amber beer. Aroma is lovely, rich funky nose, bretty pineapple and tart fruity funkiness. Rich and lightly sweet with a soft spiciness underneath the obvious influence of the roselaire bugs. The sourness is quite subdued, but there is lots of funkiness. Cologne and dried fruit. Musky and horsey with a soft oaky woodiness as well. Lean-bodied, crisp and funky. It’s surprisingly subtle and understated, but absolutely delicious nonetheless.
