We prepare it from wild perennial and young beer. This combination ensures optimal taste balance. The result is a refreshing drink with a very fine acid and a decent wine character. The older part, which matures for up to 2 years in French oak barrels after the great Bordeaux, adds typical spicy and woody tones. The younger part then softens the whole and balances the body fermented to dryness.
Meditation is recommended for more experienced tasters.

Tap at BeerGeek Bar. 7,2% ABV. Dry, fully fermented. Medium sourness, med-light tartness, background sweetness or bitterness. Lots of funk, interesting grassy, leafy, vinous, herbal, almost bay leafy character, in addition to classic sweaty horse. Light wood. Great balance of acids, but also of everything. Could use more bubbles and that is about it as far as my criticisms go. Excellent.

Short lived tinted head over copper, slightly veiled beer. Mild horseblanket, farmyard nose; vinous, winecasks. Sourish, even a bit aggressive compared to the nose; old wood, lactic acid, again some vinous touches (malonic?). Mild carbonation, quite wheatslick, long lasting flavours. Strangely enough (this IS a complex blend), it struck me as an excellent base for further blending. Děkuju, Jitka!

750mL bottle from Base Camp. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Nose has buttery oak, citrus, some wood. Flavour has tons of bandaids, citrus, some buttery oak. Very thick-bodied for a geuze. Quite poor.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma has gentle funk, some orange zest, a touch of oak, and some muddled earthiness. Flavour has plenty of phenols, with plastic notes, orangey notes, and some muddled earthiness. Thick palate, with too much burnt rubber, and not enough good shit to balance. Disappointing.

Tiefgoldgelb bis hellbernsteinfarben und glänzend trüb mit feiner Perlage. Die feinporige, gebrochen weiße, Schaumkrone ist dabei mäßig haltbar. In der Nase vernimmt man eine komplese Fruchtigkeit mit Noten von Stachelbeere, grüne Traube, Verjus, Holzfass zusammen mit einem sehr feinen, kräftigen Wildhefecharakter. Der Antrunk kommt frisch, spritzig, saftig-fruchtig bis fruchtig-säuerlich und leicht beerig. Es präsentiert sich ein Körper mit guter Fülle, fein moussierender Rezenz, samtiger Textur und guter Trockenheit. Auf Gaumen und Zunge zeigen sich frisch-fruchtige Noten von Stachelbeere, grüner Traube und grünem/frühreifem Steinobst. Es zeigen sich generell eine komplexe Säurestruktur, zarte Herbe und ein angenehmer Wildhefe- bzw. leichter Brett-Charakter. Letztendlich hat man ein tolles, vielschichtiges und überaus angenehmes Gesamtbild vor sich. Trotz der Komplexität wirkt dieses Bier nicht überladen und weist eine sehr gute Drinkability auf. Der Nachtrunk gestaltet sich langlebig mit einer fruchtig-säuerlichen Basis und aufkommender Herbe der Wildhefe.
Fazit: Einfach top! Das ist High Quality Fine Beer!

Bottled at the Raven Pub I reckon. Hazy golden-amber body. Funky, tart, oaky, bretty aroma. Sweetish-sourish taste, oak, herbal-bretty touches, okay balance between the body and the tartness. Pleasant enough, though I didn't dig the body - might not have had it at the right time. To rerate if I can.
