Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal sour. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media, con carbonazione abbondante. Il liquido appare limpido. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella norma. Il sour è accentuato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali e risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, arancia amara, mandarino, erbe aromatiche, chiodi di garofano, un leggermente acetoso, mais cotto e salsa di soia.

Flesje gedeeld door Benzai. Goudgeel, iets troebel bier met matig schuim. Aroma van gier. Smaak van hop en mout.

Fles gedeeld door Benzai, geprobeerd met Inoven. Het is een goudgeel bier met een medium witte schuimkraag. De smaak is fris, gistachtig en een beetje wrang. Lekker bier.

Bottle @ tasting shared with TomHendriksen and Inoven. Slightly unclear yellow color, average to medium sized white head. Aroma reminds me of Orval a lot. Typical yeast and brett aroma I'd say, can't find a better way to describe it. A hint of funk and farmhouse influences as well. Taste lightly malts, brett, funk / farmhouse and sweet-bitter in the finish. Decent body and carbonation. Quite ok.

Bottle from Fontana, about a year old - which should be sufficient to enjoy the Brettanomyces effects we all know and love. Strong gusher, but being prepared for this, I opened it carefully over the sink and managed to reduce the loss to a few cl... Typical ’gusher’ head, towering high at first but instantly collapsing to a very irregular, visually not very attractive rim of egg-white, loosely moussy foam leaving behind a long trail of intricately cobweb-like lacing, over an initially practically clear, deep ’old gold’ coloured, warm looking beer. Aroma of fermenting yellow plums, moist jute blankets, ’Bretty’ urine, natural white wine, old grape juice, sweat, overripe apricots, banana, dough, stewed rhubarb, damp hay, old moldy bread, abbey cheese, artisanal honey, strawberry, warm apple cake, spoiled cucumber, cream. Estery, lively onset of sweetish banana, overripe pear and pineapple surrounded by a mild but expressive gooseberry tartness, minerally and a bit ’numbing’ (over)carbonation, supple mouthfeel. Bready malt sweetish ’soil’ with cereally and very lightly caramelly edges, while the tartness continues and more and more Brett effects show up, releasing retronasal effects of old cloth, fermenting hay and wet leather - very unmistakable indeed. Ends dry yet still juicy, with still that overcarbonation numbing the tongue; lovely grape peel, unripe stonefruit and gooseberry notes all around, on top of a malt sweet basis with quite a lot of agreeable bready yeastiness in the end, but made bitter by a confident dosis of earthy, bit spicy, nicely drying and quenching hops. Too bad for the gushing and overcarbonation, if they manage to reduce the ’wildness’ of refermentation here, this could become a beer of high standard - provided that you like the typical effects of Brettanomyces of course, because these are all over the place here. Ideal beer to introduce people to Brett without much distraction. Basically a simple Belgian blonde made interesting with Brett, not unlike Rebelse Strop or Anders Brett and Oak (without the oak in this case) - a simple formula really, but for me this works. But again: too bad for the gushing!
