Phi is a pale strong beer, skillfully balanced between sweet and sour due to the addition of 40% of wheat to the grain bill. Phi is part of the “Omega – Phi – Sigma” trilogy which matures in stainless steel tanks where the Morpheus yeast imparts a refreshing sourness. Phi is a good stepping stone for those who want to familiarize themselves with our Flemish Sour Ales.

18 January 2019. At Dok Brewing Company, Ghent. Cheers to Anke & Pieter! Pours hazy orange with a lasting, very thin, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of sourdough, apple sauce, lime, wet hay, grass, straw, leather, wet wood, green apple, mandarin peel, green banana. Taste is medium funky sour, hay & straw mixed with yeasty sourdough, fruity accent of apple & unripe orange, rendering it faintly sweet too, a bit banana-like even; bitter touches of wood pop up on top of a bready malty base that is vaguely dusty & cellar-like. Dryish, tart, bit grassy hoppy finish, lingering 'funk' & hay, slightest touch of warming sherry alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Balanced, smooth.

Bottle, slow gusher. Hazy orange color with creamy off-white head. Aroma is fresh peach, white grapes, apricots. Taste is wood, apricots, white grape juice, tannic finish. Silky mouthfeel with high soft carbonation. Very well-balanced for 10%!

Met dank aan @jefverstraete Euro Trade 1/2018, amber/gouden met volle witte kraag, en goede kraagvullende co2. aroma is best ok, zachtzuur, zoet, hout, gist, wijn/drijf. Smaken zijn behoorlijk zoet, redelijk zuur, morpheus gist, appels, azijn, matige body, iets té zoet, je zou niet zeggen dat die 10% is.
