(Draught at La Source, Brussels, 22 Oct 2022) Pale yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, passion-fruit and white bread. Fruity, hoppy taste with lemon, peaches, passion-fruit, white bread and a slightly tart finish with a mild citric bitterness. Light body, dry. On the thin side, but really tasty and refreshing. Very nice.

On tap at La Source taproom, Brussels, Saturday 1st October 2022 in the company of Lynn and Barry, on Barry's birthday. Pours light silvery gold with a very light haze, but very light. A little zappy but really clean and fresh, quite a distinct taste here (probably the hops)

Tap. Hazy pale yellow color with white head. Aroma is yoghurt, lime, grassy. Taste is the same, refreshing, light, nice tartness. Sparkly carbonation. Very good!

Aus der Dose (bbe 27.08.2021) im 2021-08 getrunken. Dieses hellgelbe Ale hat eine kurze, aber sehr feine Schaumbildung. In der Nase hat das Ale eine tolles Citrusaroma mit einer leichter Hopfennote. Am Gaumen wird dann der andere Teil dieses Stil-Hybrid aus IPA und Sour Ale - eine leichte, ja fast schon filigrane Säure. Alles sehr gut abgestimmt und balanciert. Im Glas ist es ein wunderbares und süffiges Ale für dem Sommer.

Pours hazed straw yellow. Medium big white head. Scent is tart, hints of citrus. Lemony, by the combo rather than actual lemonaroma (or acid, for that matter). Taste is sharp, citrussy, tart (lactic). Clean. Mild hoppyness only shows during the aftertaste, which gets rounded off by a very malty base that's just lovely. A beer that provides an elegant, long going experience. Regardless of the low abv, this can indeed be enjoyed as a sipper (if you prefer to do so) but it's also a great thirstquencher in the summersun.

Can from Geers. Clear pale yellow, thinning, white head. Aroma of sour mandarin, lime, cucumber, kiwi, sourdough, unripe apple. Taste has sour cucumber, kiwi & gooseberry, a bit citric, mostly lactic in a sourdough & sour cream body with vague sweetish hints of apple. Tart, fruity finish, lactic, citric, bit wheaty, lingering lime & cucumber, very fresh along the subtle herbal hoppiness. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Low ABV beers are easily forgettable but not this one. Boy, does it quench your thirst!

33cl can (BBF: 06/04/2021 so tasted slightly after) from Rob the Gourmets’ Market in Brussels. F: big, white, average retention. C: yellow blonde, hazy. A: nice sour passion fruits, light lemon, floral, bit mineral, herbal touch, funky. T: light malty base, lemon water, yellow tropical fruits, bit passion fruits, lactic touch, bit mineral, bit puckering, medium to high carbonation, quite refreshing and more fresh it could be even better.

One of the petite sauvage variants from La Source, a small group of low-alcohol 'session sours', this one fermented with kveik, containing wheat malt and spelt and dry-hopped with Sorachi Ace, which places it somewhere in between sour IPA (dry-hopped kettle sours) and Berliner Weisse, I guess... Can from Beergium. Large-bubbled, irregular, thin and loosely knit 'head' quickly reduced to a rim of snow white bubbles around the glass, eventually disappearing completely on a hazy pale yellow blonde beer with notably pale lime-green hue. Quite intense 'exotic citrusiness' in the nose: kaffir lime leaves and indeed Key lime (with which is shares even its colour), almost Fanta Lemon but without the sugar, crushed lemongrass, lemon verbena, starfruit, kefir, sourdough underneath, green plum, Granny Smith apple, hints of dill, chalk and bergamot. Spritzy onset, sharpish carbonation but not too bothersome in a 'small' beer like this, gentle tartness, very lime-like but also hinting at green apple and gooseberry, some pineapple sweetishness hidden deep within as well; slender, slick body, wheaty soapiness and white-breadiness in a thin and smooth way, given body by kefir-like lactic sourness which maintains a very fruity character till the end, when it connects with the Sorachi Ace in all its refreshing, perfumey herbality, reminiscent of dill, lemongrass and lemon verbena - and also providing a dash of bitterishness that in this case matches well with this light, utterly refreshing sourness. Bready and chalky aspects subtly linger in the background. Almost lemonade-like in its overdose of citrusiness, but minus the sugar; hugely fruity, perfumey and refreshing, something one would drink on a hot and damp day somewhere in tropical Asia, for example... Session sour IPA with distinct and surprising character, another unique La Source creation. Extra point for originality.
