3rd October 2023
Almost clear gold beer, thin and gone-in-an-instant white head. Palate is light and pretty dry, decent fine carbonation. Tart lemon with a vague minty vibe. Light herbs, quite green. Light vanilla vibe. Finishes dry and getting slightly acidic. Fancied something like this after an oily meal but its combo of dryness and aggressive tartness reduce drinkability for me.

Really nice tangy tart citrusy front and finish + herby funk nose

Aus der Flasche (bbe 21.09.2021) im 2021-06 getrunken. Dieses Gruit hat eine strohgelbe Farbe. In der Nase leichte Stroh und süßliches durchgekochten Sauerkraut. Am Gaumen ist die Säure recht fein und ein Aroma von Sauerkraut-Ananas und Citrusaromen. Ein richtig tolles Bier für die heißen Tage des Jahres.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete. Disig ljusgul vätska med medelhögt snabbt försvinnande vitt skum. Friskt syrlig örtig doft. En fatlagrad ljus öl kryddad med gråbo. Har en friskt örtig smak, liknar pors men har också en annan lite stall och hö liknande karaktär. Svårt att veta vad som är vad. Uppfriskande och trevlig iaf

Bouteille 37.5cl, BB 02/03/2022, batch # 001.
Dorée/paille sur léger voile, col blanc crémeux donnant un beau son de pétillance retombant assez vite.
Arôme aux effluves assez fraîches oscillant entre boisé-sous-bois de l'armoise, barrique et chêne et note citrique-funk des levures sauvages. Je retrouve aussi des effluves de baies sauvages, fruits verts avec un rétro de grains-céréales.

Palais est complexe, léger et frais avec un caractère aigre marqué mais qui bénéficie de la complexité des autres ingrédients qui tous à leur tour ajoute à ce côté 'sour' tout en y apportant ci - un effet citrique, sous-bois, et là - un côté boisé, funk, sauvage et un côté aigre-citrique qui domine plus sur la fine et que la bière arrive à t° ambiante.
Un gruit qui me laisse en mémoire les bières des norvégiens de Eik & Tid.
Version qui reprend les bases, sans le côté stout, de la Feu et Sang qui utilisait déjà l'armoise mais aussi de la série Mauvaise Herbe.

Cloudy pale yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very funky, quite some sulphur, very acidic impression, very cheesy, herbal, more funk. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty acidic, watery, little bitter, lemon juice, zesty, some grapefruit, nice. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, zesty, juicy, citrus, peaches and apricots, more sulphur, a bit of-putting that sulphur stuff...

Very small white head on initially very bubbled pale yellow beer. Sourish-spicy-fruity nose. Fruit might be quetche/sloeberry, spice might be mannah, chamomille, wormwood; limezeste. Lemony flavour with some rootspice added. No doubt the mugworth (not that far removed from wormwood), but not easily identifyable. Mannah.Very refreshing, yet not one to drink continuously, as the herb is very expressive. Puckering sourness. Feels better carbonated than it looks after a couple of minutes. Gruit - difficult 'style', yet once more, La Source manages to be completely convincing. Chapeau bas, Messieurs!
