Bottle, thanks Pascal! Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is white wine, pig skin, apricot jam. Taste is white wine, citric acid, very acidic, but drinkable. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation.

Bottle. Pours unclear amber. Aroma is stables funk, rhubarb, grapes, barrel, dust. Body is medium, quite sour and sweet, but not tart. Lively carbonation. Lots of lemon and citric fruit, also fizzy candy. A bit overwhelming, and not for good reasons. Still, a good sour.

Sampled draft @ Vini Birre Ribelli 2016. Hazy orange, little head. Nose is minimal barnyard, wine, mineral, acidic zest, funk. Taste is acidic rain water, funk, overly watery with big ditch water nose which is unfortunate since the sour oak, low vinegar sour profile is not bad with some sour grape. Rain water watery body.

Draft sample @ Vine Birre Ribelli ’16. Dorée sur un léger trouble, col très fin blanc. Arôme au nez prenant de raisin blanc, brett léger en rétro, avec un certaine sécheresse qui pointe au niveau de la barrique, retrouve un côté abricot fermenté voire de groseille verte. Palais est sec mettant l’accent sur un effet barrique et chêne avec un effet de brett fruité rappelant le raisin vert sans vraiment me donne l’effet de musc comme on le retrouve chez les italiens de Loverbeer, par exemple. Râpeux sur la fin avec une fine aigreur qui perdure et domine plus que l’effet fruité.

26/XI/16 - on tap @ Vini Birre Ribelli (Brussels) - BB: n/a (2016-1396) Thanks to sebletitje and 77ships for sharing today's beers!
Little hazy yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: fruity, sweet, peaches, spicy, dusty, more fruit notes. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty dirty, sourish, funky, acidic, pretty mineral. Aftertaste: metallic, bitter touch, acidic, lemony, bit grassy, not very complex.
