750 ml bottle, from Høkeren, Copenhagen. Dark brown hazy colour, low off-white head. Funky aroma, some malts too. Funky flavour, medium sour. The carbonation "grows in your mouth".

Shared large bottle.
Huge foamy head from a bottle that was itself foaming over.
Medium-high tartness with mild bitterness. Plenty fruity.
Boozy, funky, sour aroma.

Actually improved quite a bit with age! Opened this with Wayne from CCB and was surprised how good it was!

750ml, 2010?
Lost Abbey tulip
A: Pours a murky reddish hued brown color. Tons of carbonation, over carbo. Four fingers off white slightly tan head. Tiny bubbles streaming up sides of glass. The cap had dark brown funky goop on it.
S: Smells like a full on sour beer, more than a Saison. As I have heard, this one has gotten funky over the years. Balsamic vinegar. Tart cherry. Tanic woodiness. Smells of Flanders red.
T: Tip of the tongue is that tart acidic sour tinge. Then in the middle of the palate you get this strange OFF funkiness. Like rancid woodiness. Infection maybe? Not pleasant. There is an almost cocoa like flavor in there. Finish is dry, but some of that funk lingers with you.
M: Medium bodied. Thank god carbonation sort of clears the palate.
