Spontaneous fermentation beer produced using only pale-ale type malt.

Iris brings together two elements that were very present in our beers until the middle of the 20th century : the acidity produced by spontaneous fermentation and the bitterness resulting from the use of fresh hops followed by cold hopping.

Bottle shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a hazy peach amber with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice tart light fruit with a good amount of flora and a slight earthy note supporting. Flavor has a nice dry sour citrus with a good amount of flora with some oak and herbal notes supporting.

Hazy orange colour with a tiny white head, which disappears quite fast. Aroma is tart fruits, wood, some brett and mild funky tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma. Age has rounded this one rather nicely.

Elegant floral notes up front, followed by some tangerine and a layered minerality. Sharp funk. Lingering.

LCI SbS with 2019. More pronounced bitterness up front, earthy notes, very different but not necessarily better or worse

LCI. Always lovely. Nice to do SbS 5 years difference. A bit more softened here, floral character is still noticeable, light funk.
