A light explosion at the opening of the bottle.
Amber color, not really clean, almost apricot. Beautiful white head, quite creamy and compact.
In the smell, the medicinal note over all. Even some yeast. Not too good. Lightly stale, and metallic. Oxidized.
The taste is slightly better, with ripe fruit, and light dry flowers, and hay. Drinkable, but nothing more.
In the aftertaste, again some medicinal note.

No freshness date carved. Opening this one was quiet messy as there was some gushing in there; though not that overwelmingly hard foam kept comming up for a long time and afterwards brew was quiet dead witch wasn't best for taste.
Nice and quiet well lasting white head ands a deep golden/bronze beercollor. Nose is very spicy of yest, certainly with a wild funk and next ot that wheaty, estery( ripe apples) and sour carracter. Touch of hops on the side backed by other spice with IMO sweet gale for shure.Taste is also quiet good with matlyness, wheat, good sour touch, spicy and quiet alcoholic. Litle grainy with it and the whole brew is imo litle unbalanced and that makes mouthfeel hard to define. Drinkable brew but needs some work to make it into a great one.
