#1950. 33 cl. bottle @ home – I really love their labels which is the main reason why I wanted to pick another one of their beers. BIG gusher as soon as I pop the cap, lost slightly more than half of the bottle. Pours a murky apricot brownish with a creamy solid, very thick white head. Smells of overripe, fermenting summer fruits, orange peel, plastic, plastic wheat, those children vitamins that come in figurine shapes, odd plastic touch,… Sharp food additives, colorants feel / taste, bitter grains, plastic wheat, same children vitamins, lots of mouldy oranges, herbal tea, old spices, bitter aftertaste of plastic and vitamins,… Tad fizzy odd – probably just this bottle. Small brewery issues I assume or just a very weird beer. Sort of too much to take in.

33cl bottle @ 8ème Fête de la Bière Namuroise. Dorée sur un léger trouble, col blanc crémeux. Arôme fruité et fleuri rappelant la violette avec dans cette version le retour en lus léger de cette levure végétale. Palais, profile se rapprochant plus d’une blanche, épais en bouche sur qcq notes d’agrumes avec ce léger profile levure. Le tout est citronné et fleuri avec une note douce sucrée., profile pétillant restant dans le style très belge.

Huge white head, dense, fed by lively carbonated cloudy yellow-orange beer. Nice wheat (???) nose, hoppy, but rather fleeting playing stum after some instants. Again wheat (!?) and hops. Actually not unlike a non-coriandered wheatbeer which doesn’t spoil anything. Yeasty; sweeter warming up. Light bodied, if quite slick & well-carbonated. AH ENFIN! I really feared the worst for this new brewery; but this one I definetely can dig.
