We added gentian root and bitter oranges to the coolship overnight, for this Amaro-inspired sour/bitter beer. After a year of barrel-aging, we macerated the beer on Sicilian blood oranges of the Tarocco varietal.

Pours slightly hazy, amberblonde. Small , fast fading white head. Scent is Sharp, full on spices, mild , yet very raw grzainyness behind it. Maturing took good care of this, seemingly! Taste is tart, dry, very spice-forward, loads of citrus (bitter oranges) and a funky, earthy, very typical 'new' thing to me (gentian root) . Together they balance on the fine line of being over the top thouhg, and the idea of cleaning products / pot pourri comes dangerously close, but in a way it still works. Not at all my favorite Antidoot, but a respectable offering nevertheless.

Started this one on its own and the side-by-side with Wilder Billy Salat. Different beers, but a lovely comparison of citrus expression. This is super herbaceous, bitterness from the gentiane and wormwood in a clean aperitif-like note.

Spicy and tart with orange peel, blood orange, lemon, soapy notes and mild sourness, hints of funky sourness. Interesting

Bottle sample @ Billie's 2021, shared with Brewver BE crew.
Dorée clair, col fin peu tenace blanc.
Arôme présente un léger bouquet herbacé, le tout rappelle un peu le romarin avec un rétro-nasal fin fruité d'agrumes;
La gentianne est difficile à noter - le goût est déjà particulier avec une amertume marqué qui ressort un peu plus avec l'apport des agrumes. Retrouve un peu le côté funk des oranges sanguines.

Yesterday. Paired with duck breast, carrots and a summer salad with orange vinaigrette. Absolutely gorgeous combo of bitter herbs, bright but mellow acidity, refreshing citrus fruits, light complex funk and plenty of oak. Love these sour/bitter beers!
