Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie, consumed at home, Sunday 8th February 2015 Pours dark murky brown what head there was soon departs. Sour and tart, I hated it at first but gradually grew to accept (but not quite totally like) the beer. I know that there is a big fuss over this ’wonderous’ Morpheus yeast that the brewery and fans of Alvinne go on about, yawn.... but to me I think it’s overplayed. Some wet wood and soil on nose. It is sour and fruity (dark fruits) and with a finish that is funky and dry. Fine. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0 Had this again with the München Ratebeer Group, Wednesday 1st July 2020 at Dave's. I have to confess having looked at my old rating this is a much better beer than I recall, softness this time, winey, tart, wet wood, but really good. 3.7
