Tap @ Cafe Sara. Unclear golden body with a small, lacing white head. Nice funky aroma with acidic berries, Brett, hint of dry cider and faint vanilla. Flavor is extremely refreshing, light pale malt, acidic berries, yellow citric fruit, some lemon and funky lambic. Balanced body and smooth refreshing aftertaste. Nice one.

Bardzo przyjemny w smaku. Kolor pomarańczowy dość łagodny smak jak na ten styl, zapewne przez beczkę. Ogólne dobre piwo.

Bottle at the mondiale 2014. Im glad i did a little snooping, they ran out of this beer on tap, but hadnt chnaged the sign indicating they now had some in bottle. I managed to snipe a look behind the counter and spot a bottle! Score! Hazy amber pour, small off white head. Aroma is loads of funk, wood, oak, vanilla, spices, and stone fruit, the body is perfect, and the carb is very low, almost flat. The finish is tangy and funky, with notes of horse blanket, stone fruit, and very tart citrus. The wood brings everything together with a leathery, oaky, vanilla glove. Very complex, and exceptional ale.

Tap at Moeder Lambic. Wow. Soft and low carbonation. Feels almost oily. Loads of oak, vinous, leather, citrus, sweet and sour, wood. Creamy and funky. Bit of everything.

Bottle at B�din �lfestival. Has a slightly hazy straw colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of oak, gooseberries, apricots, lemon, wet hay, almonds and some horse. The flavour is similar with more white wine and apple cider vinegar. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Sour and complex.

Saison by Trou du Diable aged on barrels that previously contained botrytized (sweet) wine, 75 cl bottle from Geers near Ghent, shared with Goedele. Gusher, starting to rush out of the bottle about one second after opening - so you have a bit of time to anticipate it. Medium thick, egg-white, mousy, rather loose and large-bubbled, quickly breaking and opening but otherwise remaining head; initially lightly hazy 'old gold' robe with warm peachy hue and strong visible fizz, ever more misty and eventually clouded as the bottle nears its end. Aroma of sweet white grapes, golden raspberries, demi-sec white wine, ripe apricot, 'oaky' vanilla, melon, ripe pear, dry old wood, orange flesh, sawdust and dry earth notes. Fruity ponset, sweet with a tart edge, hinting at white grapes but also yellow plum, pear, peach and pineapple, some very light grape peel wryness even if it doesn't contain actual fruit, lively but 'refined' carbonation. Lean, smooth 'white-bready' malt sweetish body gently dried by increasing white wine tartness and clear tannic woodiness, with a lovely citrus flesh (rather than citrus peel) fraîcheur towards the end, probably the hops combined with this beer's natural, outspoken fruitiness. Ends with a long, spicy hop bitterness accentuated by this drying woodiness, but still the whole remains juicy and very fruity as well, with notes of white grape and yellow plum lingering. Not nearly as threatening as the label or name would suggest: this is a very elegant, crisp, bright and - I would almost say - 'happy' beer ideal for a sunny spring afternoon. Needs some time to open up its delicate features, but once it does, this is a lovely beer if you like your farmhouse ales mild, bright, quenching and fruity.

From tap at Bøker & Børst with JFE 11.03.19. Translucent pale straw colour. Bright white head and lacing. Acid aroma and taste, with brett, barnyard, tropical fruits and apricot. But mostly brett. Dry and astringent mouthfeel. Refreshing and complex.
