Bottle-conditioned in a 500ml brown glass bottle. BB 1 March 2009, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: dark orangey golden hue, slightly murky due to the yeast sediment; thick white frothy head lasts well on top of semi-lively fizziness.
S: an astringently sour mustiness, damp wood, nectar, and salty-sweet orangey fruits with a touch of dust dominate the nose. Apparently yeastiness has had a great impact on the overall smell, making it really musty and pungent.
T: the initially pungent mustiness overwhelms the palate, then gradually the honeyish malts and passion-fruit+orange like sour-sweet fruitiness manage to expand, followed by a lingering flow of flat-textured bitterness that deepens and results in a substantively bitter, chewy and substially zesty aftertaste.
M&D: although the fizziness is quite moderate and refreshing, throughout the drink the tartness from both fruits and yeasts come a bit OTT, compromising the drinkability somewhat. The bottle-conditioning skill is not mature enough, apparently, for the Weltons. But I can imagine a good hoppy and very very bitter pint when it is served on cask.
