37.5 bottle at home. I think this was the first version of this beer, bottled a bit more than 5 years ago. Pretty faded dull golden with small white head. Lots of quetsche, some lemon, Boon funk, hay, old wood. Very sour, very light bitter. Over light bodied with soft sparkly carbonation. This got quite a bit too sour to my liking, definately didn't improve with some years on it.
75cl: similar. Maybe a bit less sour, but also really shows quite some age. I like it more than the small bottle though, would rate 7.8.
First labeled bottling of the Namur version. Opened with a light plop. Almost clear orange golden. No head. Nose of mild funk, very mild fru

19.12.2015: 0,375l bottle shared by Saeglopur at Linz RB Tasting, big thanks. Vintage 2014/2015. B ottled 01/2015. orange cloudy color, small white head. smells sour, funk, horse blankett, dog poo, some- green apples, spices. uhm, rather interesting smell, not a total fan. medium body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes quite sourish, vinegar, fruits, green apples, marzipan, spices. finishes very dry and sour with green apples and light nuts. OK, did expect a bit more, no fruit notes at all. very very sour, no balance on this one. Overall drinkable but just too sour / vinegarish. 7, 3, 7, 3, 14 sourness: 5/5
