Medium to good white head over veiled orange-golden beer. Rosemary miles out. Some white candi sugar wafts, giving way to sweet white wine (with rosemary), maybe a bit of thyme. Sweet wine (with rosemary) returning, Sauternes (rather than thinking of Montalcino), and with rosemary. Bit bathroom herbs, but pretty impressive complexity. Warming up, peaches. Very slick, suave texture despite good carbonation. Gives a stronger impression than the claimed 6%. Ronald, you definitely overdid the rosemary (which is a pretty strong, perfumey herb), with a little less it would be a fantastic beer as its depth is awesome.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is rosemary indeed, mild funk, a bit estery, bananas. Taste is quite herbal from the rosemary, mild tartness, quite fresh. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation. Not bad.
Sampled @ Borefts Bier Festival 2022. A hazy golden beer. Aroma of sour yellow fruits, grapes, brett, apples. Taste of mild tart apples, gin, wood,, strong malt.

On tap at Borefts. Pours a copper color with moderate foamy head. Aromas of rosemary, thyme, gooseberries, gummy bears and sweet malts. Flavors of floral wheat, green berries, oak and wine gums.

Hazy pale blond with no head. Aroma is herbal with miny and rosemary. Woody dryness. Fruity wine elements too. A bit flat in taste and carbonation with too much dominance from the herbs.

Bottle sample during Gents Bierfestival '21 - shared with Tderoeck.
Dorée, col blanc fin.
Arôme au bouquet fin malté, léger fruité avec un léger apport herbacé dont une fraicheur du romarin qui se prête à merveille avec le style de bière et la barrique de Brunello - vin rouge avec des effluves fruitées rouges, petite note noix voire once tannique et fleuri. Léger côté mielleux en fin de bouche avec une petite douceur vanillée.
Palais est malté léger froment sur une base belge de blanche - retrouve un léger côté barrique qui reste complexe avec la barrique qui laisse entre-passer de belles notes fruitées entre fruits rouges et secs, anisés et tannique tout en conservant l'approche de blanche.

Bottle. Color: Clear lightly orangish golden, white head. Aroma: Red wine, rosemary, wheat. Taste: Herbal rosemary, Brunello red wine notes, red grape, grapeskin and grapeseed. Tannins. Wheat malt background. Spicy, floral and lightly yeast notes. Fruity notes of orangepeel. Moderate sweet, ligth to moderate bitter. Just over medium body, just under average carbonation. Long lasting dry-ish finish with bittery palate. Nice one, although the rosemary is sometimes a bit overwhelming.

Little cloudy blond to orange beer, creamy dense white head, stable, little adhesive. Aroma: very oxidized, fruity touch, orange peel, malty, red wine notes. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: slightly fruity in the start, soft acidity, oxidation showing, lots of orange peel, bitter, hoppy, bit herbal. Aftertaste: pretty sourish, bitter, quite some tannins, bit floral, citrus, grapefruit notes, pretty fruity and herbal, nice one!
