“Our little brewery would like to highlight a young Belgian artist Gaëlle Boulanger. She’s a magnificent painter, illustrator and graphic designer.

There will be a series of five special edition bottles, each of which featuring work from Gaëlle on the label. After all the bottles in the edition have been sold, the original painting will be auctioned for the benefit of the artist. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the great work of this young artist.

This is from 2016 correct? Sample NYE 2025 (that is, 12/31/25, heading into 2026). Poured a brown cloudy murky color but managed a small short lived head. The crown popped revealing there was still some pressure in the bottle. However, the carbonation was quite soft and minimal in drinking so I think it had lost something there. Had it held up otherwise? Not quite. Definitely some sherry and cardboard notes in here, mixed with a a general malt forward beer, some fruitiness, leaning toward bruised apples, figs. Not sour or funky at all. Strength was apparent, there was a light booziness at the finish and trying to drink all of the 750 was not gonna happen! I think there was something good in here, but perhaps it was never great?

27.03.2015, 0,75l bottle @ home:
Tiny bubbly shortlasting head. Aroma is kind of spicy, grass, sap, thyme, yeast, sorrel, bark, soda powder, citrus peel, weeds. Taste is slightly sour-ish floral, sap, grass, soda powder, sorrel, weeds, thyme, yeast, bark, citrus peel. Medium bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Fair enough.

bottle shared with daniele. Cloudy amber light pour with a small irregular gassy foam. A bit gush (Fantome). Nose: apple tea (!), sweet apple. Mouth: watery, inconsistent, hard to understand.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Askje 13.10.18. Hazy golden. Persistent off-white head. Aroma of nettles, spices and dandelions. Similar taste. Slightly sour. Interesting.

0,75 flaske som måtte åpnes over vasken, på RBHD-samling hos Asle Bjørn, okt-18: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Bær, sure frukter, apsikat og brennenesle. Sursyrlig avslutning. Dufter bedre enn den smaker, og slett ikke det jeg forbinder med en belgisk strong ale.

Flip top 750mL. Amber brown color. Just a plan malty airy Belgian beer. Not much going on either way. I like it plain but surprised by the middle roadness of it. Tongue tingling carbonation. Light toffee and caramel from the malts. Maybe a bit of age creeping in.

750ml bottle. Medium dark caramel malts. Foamy beige head. Odd rye like tones. North French feels. Not that good and doesn’t grow on you. Grainy dry tastes. Just doesn’t work. Pretty weak offering.
