18/IV/22 - 75cl bottle @ Cantillon Quintessence (Brussels), BB: n/a (2022-359)
Paired with amazing +24 months old Comté.
Clear blond beer, small to almost no head, a little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very musty, damp cellar, mouldy earthy impression, nutty, lovely! MF: ok carbon, medium body .Taste: citrus notes, earthy, oxidized, some orange peel, grapefruit, a gentle acidity, lovely complexity. Aftertaste: more acidic in the throat, lots of citrus, oxidized, clean acidity, lemon notes, a bitter touch in the finish. Lovely beer, great cheese pairing!

Bottle, served from a decanter at Bon Bon. Clear dark yellow pour. Simply amazing. Fantastic vinous and apricot notes give way to lemon zest, oak, and barnyard backbeats. Perfect body and mouthfeel.

14/VIII/21 - 75cl bottle, shared @ Cantillon brewery (Brussels), BB: n/a, bottled: 10/VI/20 (2021-794) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Rather cloudy orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very oxidized, lots of celery (!), funky, spicy, bit weird. Not very nice… MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, funky, very herbal, spicy, lemony notes, very funky and bretty, little dirty. Aftertaste: very vegetal, soup, sweet touch, bit of a medicinal bitterness. This very under par from what we're used to...

Had it at 6%. A hazy golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of wood, brett, funk, lemons, and malt. The flavor is sour with notes of lemon, brett, funk, eood, grapes, and malt, leading to a tart finish.
