Bottle from a gift box. Pours clear golden with an unstable, frothy, white head; hazy with the sediment. Aroma of unripe pear, apple peel, moist bread dough, yeast, flowers, hay, cabbage. Taste has sweetish pear, apple, a bit flowery; thick bready-yeasty profile supporting sour wheat accents and a soft earthy bitterness. Not too dry, wheaty, soft fruity finish, gentle grassy hops, lingering 'earthy' yeast. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Another typical earthy-yeasty brew by Wilde Brouwers, this time more drinkable than any other I've had.

Clear blond to orange beer, big aery creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: fruity, some peaches, banana, some sulphur, sourish impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet, very malty, bit sourish, fruity, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: hoppy, bitter, herbal, soft acidity, very decent lager!

One of the latest beers by Wilde Brouwers near Ghent, an organic pale lager (with Certisys logo) below the average ABV - so a 'session lager', in a sense. Old school 'export' bottle (33 cl) from an organic food store in Ghent, stumbled upon this by coincidence and strangely - despite living in Ghent - haven't encountered it anywhere else so far. Very thick, egg-white, very dense and mousy, paper-lacing, very regular head towering over a lightly hazy, ochre-ish straw blonde beer, shifting to a cloudy, deeper 'dirty'-peachy blonde with sediment. Aroma of moist old bread, sourdough even, pumice, potato juice, field flowers (camomile), grass, cooked turnip, dry earth, vague unripe pear, hard green banana, minerals, clay, sourish old sweat-like note, light background DMS (sulfuric cooked vegetables). Spritzy onset, very vividly carbonated, very minerally (bit calcium-like even) and notably souring, with very light fruity notes (green banana, unripe pear), doughy malt body, cereally with a sourish edge, quite 'fluffy' thanks to being unfiltered, bready, with the yeast adding some extra breadiness in the finish, where minerally side flavours linger alongside an indeed floral, if otherwise unconspicuous and bit hayish hop bitterness. This hoppiness lasts medium long, quite pleasant really, with traces of breadiness accompanying it. Some vague off-flavours here and there - possibly related to this bottle not having been stored properly as well - but otherwise a fine, rounded, bready and sufficiently hoppy pale lager; the organic aspect is a plus for people interested in this concept, but more interestingly for the beer geek, is the fact that the yeast that has remained inside, adds a 'fluffy' breadiness and extra flavours in a way similar to German Kellerbier, albeit less refined and a bit more roughly so. Still, a very decent alternative to bland, filtered and pasteurized industrial pale lager, that much is certain. Reminds me a bit of that Picus pilsener I encountered at the Bourgoyen last summer (Ghent's natural reserve).
