The name Vønkelwater comes from the South African vonkelwater which means sparkling water. A crisp, sparkling, tangerine coloured farmhouse ale. It has the characteristic spiciness from the saison yeast strain with its hints of black pepper and corriander. These are complemented by the floral aromas or Fuggles, East Kent Goldings and Tettnanger hops.

33 cl bottle @ home. Batch VW201704, bbe May 2018. Pours a golden color, slightly hazy. Frothy white head with reasonable retention. Aroma's: grainish and fruity. Retronasal it's fruity, light grainish sweet. Flavor is light grainish sweet, fruity. Light bodied, but not too thin due to firm carbonation. Short finish, light grainish. I guess a bigger heap of hop would have been an improvement.

Clear pale amber colour, small frothy white head, mostly diminishing, minimal lacing. Aroma light brett, basement, floral hops, hint of vinegar, coriander. Taste medium sweet and bitter, very light acidity, light brett, spicy notes. Sweetbitter aftertaste, again light brett and vinegar (esp. retronasal), peppery, fruity bits. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation, a very mild and almost neutral saison, hmm don't know what to think about this one.
