4th Sep 2026: 75cl bottle from ID Stock. I'd rated the wrong beer last time (the beer which came up from the barcode) so tried again. A month past BBD. Seems more flavoursome than last time, fuller sweetness, more pronounced nelson sauvin notes.. how strange what a little age can do to a brut
25th June 2025: 75cl bottle from Carrefour as 1128 Brut Bier. Misty yellow pour with a short-lived white head. Gentle floral nose, some nelson sauvin hop notes. Certainly quite dry as befits the Brut tag. Tastes a little empty on the palate though welcome distant, slightly faint, Nelson Sauvin notes waft through. Never understood the appeal of brut beers and this does little to sway me.

opalescent pale golden colour, large, dense ecru-ish (off-)white head; aroma of (unripe) grape, green apple peel, earthy, Belgian yeasty, floral honey and grainy notes; taste is similar to the aroma with champagne-like notes and dry mouthfeel; good one
