27/IX/19 - on tap @ Borefts Day 1, BB: n/a - (2019-1559) Thanks to the international RateBeer Crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear pale orange to blond beer, big creamy irregular white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots of bourbon, vanilla, sugary impression, bit funky, acidic notes? MF: soft to no carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sourish start, some vanilla notes, fruity, acidic. Aftertaste: sourish, bit lemony, peaches, apricots, nice, but a bit weird…

From these two, I was expecting something more sour. This is just a lightly sour, woody saison, of the modern American style. Lovely sweet tartness, tons of wood, lots of wine, and some funky goat. Exceptional balance. Well made.

Bottle. Color: Hazy pale golden, white head. Aroma: White grapes, vinuous, wild yeast funk, stone fruit, wood. Taste: White grapes, most, bit vinuous. Farmyard funk. Moderate sweet, combined with some of that typical La Calavera vinegar and Gooseberry sourness. Moderate tart. Wood tannins. Dry-ish mouthfeel. I wouldn't call this a Saison / Farmhouse but a Sour / Wild Ale. Nice one.

Wine barrel aged 'saison' - with the barrels apparently provided by Alvinne. Thanks Loick for sharing! Irregularly shaped, open, thinnish, snow white head, cloudy pale straw blond robe with greenish tinge. Aroma of dried apricot, wet oak wood, hay, crushed green gooseberries, dry apple cider, stewed pear, lime but also strong medicinal phenols (band aid). Fruity-estery onset, peach and pear notes dried by outspoken lime-like sourness, softish carb, soft bready malt base, cereally, dried by this sourness and leading to a gently woody finish with mild drying tannins and subtle chalky accents; the fruity juiciness (lime and peach) remains predominant in the finish, with hop bitterness remaining remarkably soft. Again an Anglo-Saxon sour ale disguised as a 'saison', but this has nothing to do with the 'real' Belgian saison tradition. Not bad per se, but the band aid-like phenolic effect did disturb me a bit, even if it remained a bit in the background (luckily). I'd rather see Alvinne itself execute this idea, to be frank.
