Dumpy 33cl brown bottle, cap claimed a best before date of 02/2014, poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru badged tulip during 11/2011: suited it nicely. Obtained from De Bierboom, Brugge: Euro 2.60, a bargin! Cloudy, murky and dull dirty brown/deep red in colour, huge foaming crown on top: no sediment left the bottle (I think). Impressive lacing as the beer level dropped. Only Belgian beers smell like this, those yeast aromas just don’t come from anywhere else: it’s as if you’re wafting them into your nose from a fermenting vessel. The taste sharp and semi vinegarous (might have been a bit young?), great tartness to it, without pulling your cheeks in though. Malts in the flavour, something is bittering it as well, most likely hops, but you never really know in Belgium do you? Couldn’t drink this all night, but really enjoyed the bottle I’ve reviewed. I’m not a Belgian sour lover, this is getting towards that area but isn’t a Lambic style in any way, just on the sour side of the sweetness scale.

Draught Yellow, fine head, fast gone over copper-amber beer. Wood, wild fruit, wild cherries. Tame, dark malts flavour with some wood. Medium bodied, but with a watery, if slick finish. OK, but I’ve had more spectacular brews from Johan. Especially secret ones...
