Flemish barrel aged sour. We grow our own grapes (Boskoop-variety), harvest them and put the harvest each year on one or two barrels (depending on the harvest) of a barrel aged beer.

Bottle, 5.5%. The aroma starts off weakly fruity, with some vanilla from the oak. Some citric aroma notes as well, reminding me of Brett. Quite cloudy dark grey brown colour. Very small white head. The flavour starts off citric, very fruity and vinous. Tastes like grape juice, and even more acidic. Nicely refreshing. Some vanilla in the aftertaste, slightly rough bitterness.

bottle at the Pre-ZBF, pours hazy amber, small off white head. Sweet orange and citris nose. Flavors are fruity with some earthy oak settling in toward the end. This would be great with a light fish, has some wine characteristics.

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Mild acetone and vague chemical aroma, distinct wooden note. Dry malty and acidic with a light winegrape note. Mild acidic and slight acetone touch. Stays on the light sweet and mild fruity site without going Rodenbach like sour. Ends slight acidic and fruity.

Good dark, off-white head, creamy, over well-carbonated, amber-orange beer. Alcohol and fusels, vanilla, even to the impression of ice cream, and fresh, new oak. Vanilla, fresh greenery, enhanced by very obvious carbonation. Fruity finish, with strawberry, apples, raspberry and more vanilla - anything but grapes, it seems. Quite OK body for the ABV, on the verge of overcarbonated, which is kind of strange for a B-A beer. Nice, drinkable.
