Tootjainfo: "In many ways Bernat Bauza was a sweet boy. He was kind and helpful, but…..well, there were plenty of buts. He had this thing about sneaking into his mom’s closet and dressing up in her most colorful garments when he thought she wasn’t around. But often she was, and there would be shouting and tears. When he got into her make-up as well, the shouting got even worse. Had the Bauzas lived in Barcelona, then perhaps the scandal would’ve been a minor one, but they lived in a small mountain village with little understanding for such odd behavior. When Bernat was 16 he was told he could either leave or be kicked out of his home. Strangely he felt free and happy when he left his home behind. He learned to juggle from an old gypsy and made enough money to buy his first jester costume. Soon his reputation and skills brought him inside the many castles and noble homes of Southern Spain. His fans were full of admiration, and felt thrilled that he wouldn’t reveal whether the little heads he juggled with were the dried heads of actual princes and princesses as some claimed, or simply cloth stuffed with peas. When he died in 1815, both rich and famous, he took that secret with him into the grave. The people who closed his coffin insisted that he had a little contented smile on his face as he was put to his eternal rest – with his nickname carved in his tombstone “The Juggler of Many Heads”. This is a collaboration beer made with Cervesa del Montseny, Sant Miquel De Balenyà , Spain

Väike lihtne pudel, sildil kummaline kloun. Valge vaht täidab ligi pool klaasist ja püsib mõõdukalt. Õlle värvus - kirkalt kollane. Aroom on väga värske, hapukas-magusakas ja pisut marjane.

Esmamekk on keskmise kehaga ja naksuvalt mõrkjas-hapukas. Keskmaitse muutub veidi magusamaks, kuid lausa raudrohune mõrkjus jääb põhitegelaseks. Lõppmaitses mõrkjas pool taandub tiba ning asemele tuleb pihlakatoone. Järelmekk on mõrkjas-magus ja üha enam meenutab see segu veidi külmavõetud, kuid siiski mõrkjas-hapusid pihlakaid.

Keskmise kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud ja kuivapoolse paletiga, mõrkjas-hapukas-mõrkjas-magusakas-vürtsikas-mõrkjas-hapuka buketiga VÄGA HEA taseme rüübe. BB kuupäev on küll kuu tagasi kukkunud, kuid näe värskus pole kuhugi kadunud.
