Racines

bottled 19/5/16 pale hazy good head brett lattic dry not intense medium bitterness not very interesting chiara leggermente velata buona schiuma persistenza bretta filo lattico secca non molto intensa in bocca poco corpo amaro medio

Bottle from Geers. Hazy yellow colour, white foam. Lots of carbonation. Dry, and bitter saison. Hoppy. Bit too much carbonation.

Bottle at Nuetnigenough, Brussels. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of spicy yeast, brett funk, barnyard and light citrus. Flavour is light sweet and light moderate bitter. Light bodied with high carbonation.

Bottle at Buskers in Rome-Italy. A bit cloudy golden pour crazy white cap. Nose: a perfect mix of grassy hops and Belgian spicy notes. Incredible. Mouth: medium-high carbonation, sweet a bit, bitter peppery and spicy. Nice one!

Bouteille 33cl, BB 19/05/2017. Dorée sur léger voile, col blanc épais blanc crémeux. Arôme au nez léger de brett remettant le couvert sur la version Bruxellensis qui est bien maitrisée. Houblonné noble avec un petit rétro malt pils, épeautre apportant ces notes de grains. Petit rappel de poivre noir en rétro-nasal. Palais est léger, fine levure et brett pour une sécheresse correcte. Houblonné léger, noble, touche de malt pils, épeautre en lieu de froment. La touche aigrelette de brett reste dans le style et DLS continue à offrir de beaux exemples du style tjs en légèreté. Un peu terreux sur la fin renforcé par la levure et l’épeautre.

330 ml. bottle sampled @ Vini Birre Ribelli 2016. Milky citrus golden, small white head. Nose is very cheese milky citrus, bit mineral, vague brett profile but far milder than Obbrussel & far, far milder than Bruxellensis, overall this beer comes across as bit of a far less impressive sibling of those beer. Taste is overly milky, cheese, mineral, zest, soapy lemon, yeasty, very mild Brett finish, same one as I got in the nose. Body is overly milky, cheesy with a mineral profile. Decent but could have been more, I see that this was brewed with spelt & given that I don’t seem to like spelt beers in general, this is pretty solid work in that category I suppose. Overall good but I always have very high expectations with De La Senne.

Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is intense, saison yeast. Taste is full, bit sweet. Bit bitter. Dry, saison yeast. Some Brett as well.

26/XI/16 - 33cl bottle @ Vini Birre Ribelli (Brussels) - BB: n/a (2016-1374) Thanks to sebletitje and 77ships for sharing today's beers!

Clear blond beer, creamy solid white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: pretty dirty, urine, soapy, earthy, slightly fruity. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: slightly bitter, soapy, pretty faint and watery. Aftertaste: very watery, yeast, soap, meh. This is one DLS which I don't dig at all...
