Draft sample at MBGF Summer08. Poured hazy copper color with a large fizzy brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a smooth sticky texture. Medium sour flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Bottle. Golden dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are spicy with woody pine. Toffee malts with grapefruit and floral notes. Some bubblegum and yeast. Flavours are hoppy pine with light lemon and grapefruit. Fruity with a burnt malt finish. Decent.

Hazy amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma has coconut -like oak, and leather and grapefruit from brett. Slightly tart, and very oaky flavour with a hoppy, bitter finish.

Bottle. High creamy and long lasting white head leaving nice curtains. Hazy orange body. Fresh lemon orange grape fruit aroma with notes of nuts and some spice I cannot quite figure out. Mild and a bit week fruity flavor of citrus fruits and hops but the bitterness is not overwhelming. Short aftertaste, low carbonation. Oak barrels, ok but to me it is neither to be spotted in the aroma nor in the flavor.

Bottle. Pours a more amber hazy golden body then the above picture with an off white head. Loaded with nice prickly carbonation that is reminiscent of an all to familiar jolly pumpkin yeast with notes of dried fruits. Flavor is more subdued leaning on a more earth y grapefruit with a light bitterness. Nice brew.

50cl bottle. Thanks to ChristianScheffel. Pours cloudy to muddy orange with a large creamy white foam and lacings. Nose is mainly of oak, yeast & brett. Full bodied. Flavor is vanilla, pepper, brett and some vaguely sour notes before some fruity hops sneaks in. Funky - and It works quite fine!
