Cloudy blond with no head. Aroma and flavour start very funky, woody and sour. It finishes really biscuity.

Borefts 2018. Day 2. Sampled draft. Thank you for sharing! Hazier orange. Dirty nose, urinal sweet cloying, chemical, cleaning product sweet & sugar. Fizzy dirty unpleasant rotting grain & cleaning product, chemical sweet, sugar, cleaning product, fizzy, worst brett profile ever,… Sugar & dirty body.

Tap. Hazy golden color with no head. Aroma is vineous, quite funky, apple sidra (!), light phenols. Taste is grapey, vineous, apple again, in the best way, vineous. Oily mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. Well-balanced, good!
