Wine barrel aged blonde sour from a 37.5 cl 'geuze' bottle and very classy label with relief - this Slovenian brewery must be proud of this one, as my Slovenian beer colleague Davor explained when he offered me this bottle. Thanks for this one Davor! Pours with a thick, eggshell-white, irregularly lacing, mousy, slowly opening head; initially as good as cristal clear, amber-hued orange blonde, nicely misty and peachy with sediment. Aroma of white grapes galore, ripe nectarine, cream, peach, crushed gooseberries, sour yoghurt, dy red wine, cider, lot of vanilla-scenting oak wood, sawdust, lime, marmalade even, plum jam, sour apples. Colourfully fruity-estery onset, unripe peach, yellow plum, redcurrant, purple gooseberries, sour but relatively mildly so with a sweetish core; medium carbonation, full and even somewhat creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Sweet biscuity malt body gently dried by this ongoing lactic tartness, turning it a bit vinous, while this plum-, gooseberry- and nectarine-like fruitiness goes on; mildly drying wood tannins in the end, with a very cider-y and dry wine-like effect. Grape aspects grow strong in the end but remain well-contained, so that a light, charmingly 'dusty' effect can evolve, refreshened by a late, unexpected lime-like 'kick' of sharper acidity, closing the circle. Sour ales in the 'new', Anglo-Saxon way, obviously based on Belgian traditions and still practiced in Belgium itself as well of course, come from every part of the civilized world these days, but not often as good as this one: everything falls well into place here, the bacterial effects are well-contained and elegant and the wine barrel adds a lovely creaminess and juiciness, important structures in this beer, keeping it very drinkable and complex at the same time. Very cleverly done, Belgium's modern Alvinne sours are not too far away here.

Bottle, 0.375l. Aroma is vinous, biscuity, woody, lactic and mild funky with notes of cinnamon and peach. Pours hazy coppery color with thin quickly diminishing off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sour vinous and acetic, follows by cereals, tannins and wood with smooth mouthfeel. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Absolutely convincing...

Pours perfectly hazy and pale orange-golden, topped with a thinner and nonlasting white head. Gentle nose with nice vinous soury note, grapes and some berry fruitiness, later on it gets more pronounced vanilla scent. Taste also gentler, starts with nice vinous sourness and complemented by milder bitterness, woody-vanilla feel in the finish. Lighter bodied and nicely drinkable. A more gentle, but still proper soury brew. Earlier Rating: 9/23/2018 Total Score: 3.7On tap at Maribor Beer Fest. Pours slightly hazy coppery-amber colour, topped with a fluffy white head, medium sized and nonlasting. Gentle vinous noe, slight vinegar and some nice caramel. Gentle sourness in the start, slight sweetness and some leathery character. Lighter body, a bit empty in the end. Fresh. Nicely drinkable, though I missed teh fruitiness.
