Trouble in paradise! A frivolous damsel enters the scene. It is a young lady that over a few months matured in oak wine barrels, which gave her a deep but soft-bitter tannin aftertaste. The taste is full and complex because the brewers induced a controlled souring during the ripening process. The Mam´zelle is by origin a blond beer. Ripening gave her a soft red glow. This is the reason why she is called ‘high-blond’. The alcohol percentage is 8.5 volume. Brewers maintain that she is ‘untameable’.

Bottle @ home. Very hazy golden colour with a quickly gone white head. Smells glue, yeast, candy sweet, sweet and alcohol. Tastes somehow slightly sour tasting, but it?s actually quite sweet, fruity, wood, some hops, apricot. Taste is way better then the smell. Medium body, lovely fitting carbo.

Had this from bottle at Vilvordia Bier Proef Festival, Jette, Brussels, Belgium Sat 24th March 2012 with Loz and in company of Simon, Jackie & David Hazy amber in colour, really floral nose, very perfumey, hadn’t read about this so didn’t know that it had been matured in Medoc casks, not sure what Medoc is but think this is wine so I guess that this is contributing to the nose. Unusual beer, tangy, fruity and with a little sourness but it is very nice. A8 A4 T6 P3 Ov14 3.5

Bottle @ VBPF’12. This beer rocks!. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme de barrique de vin blanc vers ce profile houblonné de nelson sauvin. En bouche, garde ce côté belge mais avec un ajout de houblon sauvin et cette maturation en barrique laisse un profile somptueux de vin blanc le tout sur des notes tropicales et une fine pointe acerbe en fin de bouche et un côté boisé tanin de vin.

Disparate white head over hazed pale yellow-orange beer. Strong nose of blue Curaçao peel (even when not used), vinous, and especially other yeasts (Pediococcus, Brett?) More oranges in the mouth, bitter, Brettanomyces, sweet-sourish. Light body, acidthinning, but very oily feel. Excellent and original.
