Murky yellow colour, small fizzy white head that dissipates within a curse and a sigh. Sourish aroma bitter lemon, lemon, herbs. Mild taste medium sweet and sour, some spicy bitterness, lemonade, lemon, mint, green herbs. Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation, fruity mild sweet and sour aftertaste, light bitterness in the finish, very pleasant brew, good.

330 ml can from Etre Gourmet, bb 20.04.2021. Orange, hazy body, with a medium, quickly dissipating, yellowish head. Aroma of minty and floral herbs, lemon thyme, flowers, dough, bread. subtle honey. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes dry, sourish, moderate sweet, very spicy, yeasty, floral, citric, minty. Really interesting. Lots of diverse spices, while still well balanced, with enough malt body. Drinks very fresh for the ABV, with a lot of character. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 15

Huge, very lightly yellowish tinted white head, dense, over fully hazy yellow beer. Very fresh citrus nose, lemonbalm, other "lemon"-scented herbs. Light sourness, light spicy bitterness, background impression of sweetish malts/fruit. Spicy, but nowhere exaggerated, mannah. Warming up, hints at mint. Light, refreshing, but the MF is filled, nowhere empty. Mild carbonation. Surprisingly fine beer!

330 ml. can. Pleasant kettle sour going to lemonade with lime peel, lemon peel, mint, herbs, probably misidentifying all the herbs, plenty of green weeds, mint, basic but very recessing

33cl can de LaSource taproom, BB15/02/2021.
Dorée claire, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme est plaisant mettant en avant de belles effluves variées d'herbes.
Citronné en rétro, bouquet conserve cette approche 'sour' mais le tout est rehaussé par l'ajout de ces herbes qui offrent d'excellentes effluves.

Palais est finement 'sour' avec un accompagnement plaisant herbacé - le tout rappel fortement les bières de Labietis ou Narke. Impression de sous-bois, marais, buisson et fougère.
Rétro garde un peu de l'approche 'sou' avec un note citrique - citron vert marquée. Retrouve un côté baies de genévrier, de menthe orangée.
