Prodotta dall’invecchiamento della Runa in barrique (ex Barbera Bigolla di Walter Massa).

Nel bicchiere si presenta paglierina, con riflessi oro, limpida; al naso offre note vinose, agrumate (cedro, pompelmo), di fiori di campo, assieme a note legnose che ci ricordano il passaggio in botte. In bocca è molto fresca, acidula, ma anche complessa, ritroviamo le note agrumate, accompagnate da miele e frutta a pasta bianca. Birra molto elegante, raffinata, con una inaspettata nota sapida nel finale. Morbida, lunghissima, però anche fresca, può ricordare un lambic giovane.

Pours a hazy, very light orange, with a large-bubbled white head that recedes pretty quickly and leaves just a few hints of lacing. Nice aroma shows a soft cereal base, flowery notes and maybe a hint of honey sweetness. Quite distinctive sourness, with strong funky/rustic notes (salami peel most prominent) and lighter lactic notes. Taste is rich too: cereal malts base, flowery notes, citric notes (cedar most noticeable). Sourness is again fairly distinctive, with lactic and funky/rustic notes as per aroma (now more 50%/50%). Overall, half sweet and half sour in both taste and aftertaste. Light to medium bodied with quite light carbonation, in an overall easy mouthfeel. Fragrant and tasty but not that refined (notes are all there but a bit confused/not distinct). Would otherwise have been a really excellent sour. Still, a satisfying experience.

Light amber, quite pale, actually. No head. On the nose, a lot of brett. Dry, blueberry, fruity, touch of wood, nice tartness. A rounded, balanced sour/wild.

Bottle at PIB 2017, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out vinous notes, light funk, and some light wild yeast. Flavour is similar, with a pleasant funk character and wild yeast. Light citrus skins with a wild character on the finish. Very nice.

Cask @ ML Fontainas. Dorée paille présentant qcq sédiments, col léger blanc. Arôme offre directement ce bouquet boisé de chêne et de levure sauvage le tout complété par des effluves de vin rouge. Un peu fruité, fleuri avec un petit rappel de noisette. Palais est accrocheur restant doux malgré le profil aigrelet et boisé. Le côté vin trouve bien sa place ajoutant ce côté fruité rouge accompagné par des notes maltées/grains sur la fin. Le palais offre un léger picotement venant du chêne et toujours ce profil de vin Barbera assez typique. Je note sur la fin un rappel presque de Porto, et un agréable biscuité de crackers.
