Bottle at CBJ tasting, thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this pale yellow beer, small and very short lived white head. Light palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Acetic tartness, a little cooling pine. Slightly tart orchard fruits, pear and apple. Whisper of lemon on the semi dry finish. Decently English orchard.

Bouteille 37.5cl de et partagée avec Vincent, merci.Date de BB 12/03/2040 - très audacieux de visier si haut. Lot# 12032, bottle # 715/1600. Brasserie qui semble être le grand nom à la mode du craft français - nouveau pour moi en tout cas.
Dorée pâle sur un léger voile, pas de col.
Arôme est de suite sur un côté citrique marqué, un peu végétal - voire farineux de levure de cidre. Un nez 'funk' marqué
Palais est assez haut en effervescence - ce qui repose encore le question d'où cette bière sera dans le futur avec une telle date de 2040. Le caractère est âpre en bouche rehaussé par un côté citrique marqué. Petit note citronnée - wild yeast-quasi bretts et un fini de baies sauvages - groseilles vertes.
In fine, ne vaut pas le prix demandé - le côté Solera semble caché pour une bière qui oscille entre sour et farmhouse américaine mais voulant s'agripper aux méthodes du lambic. Ici, le résultat est mitigé voire brouillon. En l'état, je n'ai rien noté au niveau de l'usage de deux barriques de vins.

375ml bottle, online from Trembling Madness. Pours pale gold with virtually no head. Aroma: lactic, yeast, wood, light funky. Taste: moderate sour, incredibly dry, tangy, oak, sour apple, vinous hints. Medium body with no carbonation. Fairly one dimensional but glad I got to try it.

Very light, maybe a bit too light to maintain the full complexity of a Solera blend. Somewhat funky, Cor says white beans, and light apply flavours. Definitely wood and wine, with a refreshing acidity. Very decent, maybe too subtle now.
