Thx! to Jason for this one. 2011 Vintage. 75 cl, bottle split @ ‘t Antwaerps Bierhuiske. Apparently made with bacteria from the Senne valley and aged in wine barrels. Bottle is whisky-style with wine bottle decorations. Pours a murky golden with only some brief white bubbles, much murkier than any Belgian counterpart. Smell is nice horseblanket, def. Belgian-style, feel familiar, quite a bit of lemon sourness, light vinegar and lactic touches, some malts,… Tate is sour lemon, tart, BE lighter horseblanket, somewhat overpowered by the lemon and lactic sourness, light yoghurt sourness, taste is a touch watery, light vinegar, malts are there, light white wine and oak,… I think this is comparable to the BE stuff, def. some lactic touches which you won’t find here. Body is much fuller than any of the local examples, some malt substance,… Probably dealt with some infections. The owner didn’t like it all that much but I did. Thx.

Bottle @ Darkness Day 2012 shared with buds and some random hippies. Pours a cloudy yellow appearance with a white head. Fairly funky, tart lemon, a bit dusty, barnyard aroma. Actually, pretty complex, dusty, a bit acetic, white wine, lemon, vanilla, moderately sour flavor. Pretty tasty stuff.

Courtesy of Matt. It pours sort of opaque grapefruit juice (I’m taking this as a very good sign) with thin off white head. The aroma offers up spicy yeast mixing with sour sort of citrus notes and a rich vinegar. Cool. The aromatics really draw me in for a swig. The taste has a nice pucker of acidity and then it moves toward some vinegar. It dries out into the finish. Nice stuff.
