Bavik Brewery's Aged Pale is described as an uncut old beer. From speaking with the distributor this beer was used in other beers at the brewery for blending, but it wasn't until Famous beer Guru Michael Jackson visited the brewery and tried the unblended version (and highly recommened) that it was released for consumption by itself.
Aroma: musty fruit, like a sweet champagne with slight grain smell behind
Appearance: Deep straw color, thick white head with tiny bubbles rising to the top from the sides of the glass
Flavor: Very sour and tart up front, with a fruity character in the middle
Mouthfeel: More sour than the Oud Bruin, but also less dry. Strong carbonation compliments and helps balance things out
Overall: Great sour beer! The sour taste lingers throughout. There is some sweet malt character in the middle mixed with some yeast esters likened to "sweet fruit." This beer will definitely make you pucker, but more so it will creep up on you in a hurry. I could NOT tell at all this beer was 7.3% ABV
