Bottle shared at Watford tasting. Many thanks to Wingman for this one. A light hazed golden orange coloured pour with a lasting off white cap. Aroma is sour lemon juice, grassy, nettle, onion, musty grape funk. Flavour is composed of sour, tangy, lemon, onion, lemon rind,. Palate is dry, tangy, sour, nettle, spritzy carbonation. Good. But not really a Biere de garde.

Bottle. Mills online shop. Moderate haze on a pale gold. Fine streams of bubbles keep alive a thin, dense, lasting white head. Nose has lemon rind. Cider lolly. Fresh sawn wood. Stewed apple. Ground pepper. Leathery brett. It’s all here. Half a tea cake, tbh. Taste is tart and juicy, with a lightly sour apple vibe. Clean and bright on the palate, with foamy carbonation. Tart and juicy finish. It’s amazing to me how easy it is to put away a world class beer like this. I feel as though I should pontificate more, but great beer warrants chugging.

Bouteille 75cl de et partagée avec Vincent, merci.
BB 11/2029, bottled 11/2019.
Dorée oscillant vers orange, col épais blanc-cassé.
Arôme au bouquet très plaisant voire sur le rustique belge avec un léger apport citronné et fleuri, le rétro grains confère une petite note de céréales. Le tout penche vers un nez proche de cave rappelant un lambic.
Palais est sec, belle effervescence, rustique, cave et grenier, cobweb, petite pointe de barrique, pointe de funk rappelant un lambic.

Good, bit fluffy off-white head over lively bubbled copperish golden beer. Wild yeasts a mile out, pure lambic/horseblanket/farmyard nose. Lemon, lactic acid, even leather and strongly so! Lemony, lactic acid and a finish with something as oregan and pepper. Leather, horseradish, farmyard, earthy and in the very end a tad bitterish, warming up. Light acidburn, lipsmacking acidity, very well-carbonated. Remarkable! Bière de garde??? my ***, this is honest to God lambic!
