Bruxellensis is refermented for several months with a wild Brettanomyces yeast originated in Brussels. Amber with copper reflections, its fruity attack (pineapple, red fruits) is supported by hop flavours in dry hopping, and by complex, almost animal notes of old leather. It then develops a rich malty note with biscuit accents and a persistent fruity/candied flavour. Its finale is dry and bitter, its character is unique.

330 ml bottle from L‘Abbaye des Saveurs, Lille. Murky dark orange, huge fluffy head. Brett and notes of Lambik in the nose. Sharp hoppy funky notes, overripe apples, pine, dry cider, Apfelwein, dry vermouth, liquorice, apple vinegar, Gueuze, white pepper. Strong hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonated, long intense dry bitter finish. Awesome funky stuff.

Bottle - whoa, this beer is my jam - such wonderfully complex brett character atop a soft and medium-sweet make base and firm bitterness - flavors of citrus, and cotton candy, and muskiness, and dried herbs, and pepper - melon and brined cherries - crusty bread and grass - there's so much happening here - a realy nice beer!

Capped 750 from Corti Bros. Pours copper tinged gold with a decent off-white head. Aroma is clearly Brett with some mixed fruits. Med body or a little more. Flavor is very Brett (again thinking of Orval) with some pineapple and arguably some plum. Drier than not. Brett stands in for bitter. Overall it’s decently, lightly funky.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of fruits, Belgian yeast, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruit, malt, spices, and Belgian yeast, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle, courtesy of SinH4. Pours cloudy amber with a big stable white head. Aroma is brett, stables, pig, sour candy. Body is decently funky and strongly bitter, with a strong but velvety carbonation. Generally dominated by these 3 impressions, flavours are rare. Dry palate, with a lingering bitterness. A thirst quencher indeed.
