Bronze coloured with a slight haze. Small head. Minty aroma with notes of funk, nettles and goose berries. Sour anf funky flavour with notes of rhubarbs, mint and nettles.

375mL 2019 bottle drunk 10/11/24. Deeply brassy, clear. Small, white head fizzles quickly to edge. Yep, still smells like Oud Beersel after all these years. Man, it must be almost twenty years since I've had one. Fruity as all hell, round, juicy, lots of red apple but not as sugary/green appley as Boon. Not a ton of wood here, though I guess it was just a foeder. Definite cellar must though no clear, bright Brett. Low lactic, no acetic, round fruits lingering. In the mouth there's a fair bit more lactic acidity than the nose portends, though hardly sour. Just lightly tart. Round fruits, ample malt, musty cellar. No clear Brett character, though of course it's there, just muddled. Minimally woody, no acetic. I don't know, it's fine and drinkable. Pretty unexciting, uninteresting to me, like most of Boon's stuff. But certainly it's technically well-done, other than the fact that there's very little funk or clear, tart Brett. Don't know why or care for the fact that it's 6.5% either. Certainly doesn't have any richness or creaminess or deep malt you'd expect from a higher abv.
