Once the hype surrounding this spontaneously fermenting brewery has lied down a bit, we can all calm down and ponder about Antidoot's place in Belgian beer culture, or craft beer culture in general. I think what will stand out most, will indeed be the experiments they made with herbs, especially bitter tasting ones, and then this one, made with great yellow gentian, a ravishing alpine plant known for its bitter tasting roots - in fact one of its natural chemicals, amarogentin, is one of the most bitter tasting substances known in nature. This plant is often used in bitter liqueurs in Switzerland, northern Italy and other parts of the world where it is native and apparently this is what inspired Antidoot's Jacobs brothers to go and harvest yellow gentians (under strict supervision of course, because obviously you cannot just forage it wherever you want. This gentian-themed 'lambic' produces an egg-white, medium sized, slowly dissipating but generally stable head on a misty, warm amber-hued orange blonde robe. Aroma of freshly cut green apples, purple gooseberries, dust and dusty old wooden boards, redcurrant, dry hay, grape peel, green plum, dusty attic and, indeed, a whiff of bitter garden weeds and amaro which must represent the great yellow gentian. Sour onset in a pleasant, not too agressively puckering way, lime-like with notes of green apple, unripe plum, redcurrant and grape peel, medium carbonated, supple and soft with a 'full' feeling to it; slick wheaty and 'crusty' bready malt base dried by this ongoing fruity sourness, lots of yoghurty lactic acidity as well, but indeed, a wry 'green' and weedy bitterness lingers at the back, clearly the gentian, yet somehow remaining relatively subtle - or at least more subtle than I was expecting based on earlier 'farmhouse-style' beers I had that contained any kind of bitter tasting plant. An earthy hop bitterness resides underneath this more outspoken weedy bitterness, connecting it with a woody, rustic tannic effect, adding more dryness to the finishing stage. Some playful fruity esters along the lines of green apple and gooseberry still linger in the end. As the rater below observes: it cannot have been easy to marry the natural, delicate, lactic sourness of the (in this case homebrewed) lambic with the wryness and outspoken bitterness of great yellow gentian, but Antidoot managed to pull it off, creating a complex, refined 'lambic' with a pleasant weedy bitter note, indeed associating it with Italian amaro. I still have a lot of Antidoots to taste but if this is their current level of quality, I guess I have no choice but to go along with the hype... Very well done, very original and very complex, with the lambic part (the larger and basic part of this concoction, after all) being as refined as it is credible - making me curious about their actual lambics without any additions.
