Cuvée 2015, draft at Ranzani 13, Bologna, Italy. Pours pretty hazy, loaded gold, with practically no foam. Aroma is intense, winey, fruity, apricots. Body is fairly dense, with marked carbonation. Taste is intensely sour, partially acetic. Some initial sweetness. Finish is fairly long and sour, very nice.

A sour ale from France - apparently the global craft beer movement is beginning to take on serious forms there... Eleven year old vintage bottle shared by JefVerstraete, cheers! Quite an impressive luxury bottle. Loosely knit, lightly lacing, off-white head, quickly reduced to a thin moussy ring on top of a misty, ochre-tinged amber coloured beer. Aroma of old dry peaches, apricot yoghurt, pineapple juice, sour cream, gooseberries, sweetbread, gherkins, old medium dry sherry, damp cellar. Sour and sweet in the onset, lots of gooseberry, some pear and pickled sweet gherkins, sour apple touch but sweet apricot as well; very soft carbo, bordering on flat. Smooth mouthfeel, bready malt sweetish core dried by lactic and fruity sourness, grapey, but remaining altogether fairly gentle, with a good balance of sweet and sour. Ends with some sherryish oxidation and damp cellar mustiness, along with warming, vaguely brandy-ish alcohol and a powdery 'dead yeast' effect. Not a bad effort at all, especially considering that in chauvinistic wine-dominated France, modern craft beer is still in its youth - and evolving seemingly more slowly than in other western European countries.

Bottle from 2007. Hazy yellow/amber colour, no foam, no carbonation. Tart, bretty, lots of lemon, barnyard, cellar notes. Refreshing and easy drinkable, reminds me a lot of a lambic.

Drucken på fat på Malmö Brewings franska ölfestival. En rejält syrlig geuezeliknande karaktär. Doft av fat, citrus, syrlig äpplen och mycket jord samt en hel del mögel. Blir sammantaget en doft av ruttnande äpplen i en jordkällare. Även i smaken är mögeltonen väl kraftig. Annars ett riktigt trevlig suröl med fin syra.
