75 cl bottle "Noyau 2023"
"Mixed fermented barrel aged golden sour ale, with organic apricot pits."
golden brown with a white head.
Initial aroma was awesomely sour with lots of funk and fruity notes, after a while though arome got sweeter and more plain sour ale'ish. it's like the apricot wins the sour/sweet battle after a while.
Flavor is wood, funk, sour ale, citrus fruity sour notes, whatever apricot flavors there are, blend perfectly into the sour ale, very flavorful belgian style sour. really good stuff, quite balanced even though very funky. also very well blended and smooth. alc totally hidden which is impressive with 7.5 in a sour.

Nice stuff. Dirty and fruity. Lots of armpit.

Tap at Fakin. Hazy golden-orange body, white head. Lean, sweetish aroma, almonds! Or at least something similar to them. Wasn't shocked to see apricot pits as an ingredient. Sour, lean taste, marzipan and some apricots, not particularly wow, but it's quite a nice sour!

On tap at Fakin Craft Bar, Zagreb. Shared with little Dina. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Sharp acidic sting, light blue cheese, soft vinegar, some lemon. Stone fruit, like apricot or peach. Funky background. Taste is quite funky, wood nicely present, sawdust, nice fruity yeasty character, light body and drinkability from the base style, pits giving some green tartness. Quite complex. Sour, puckering, good balance, not too sharp.
