Bottle shared. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aromas of citrus, lemon, stone fruits, lactic tartness, sweet vinous, sweet orange, macaroons, tea-like spicy herbal notes. Taste is lactic, citrus juice, sweet grapey notes, oaky vanilla, lots of peach. Very nice!

Pours clear blonde, white head fades instantly. Smell is sharply sour, some malty tones as well, but no sweetness. Taste is dry, sharp sourness, citrussy tones are there, but not in an overly intense way, not per se much more than other sour beers might have without the adding citrus fruits. No oranges or wine notes to be found... It does feel wattery, and to high on carbo though. Not of the same quality as some other sours these guys did..,

Bright golden color, lace, cloudy. Funky and bright nose, yogurt, orange and lemon, grapefruit. Dryer, more tart than the Devil’s Advocate, less lactic character, interesting peanut butter cookies. Lemony flavor, just of bit of stone fruits. Light, crisp, and dry. Good.

Bouteille 37.5cl. Couleur dorée, tirant sur l’orangé, col blanc. Arôme est fruité modéré sur notes d’agrumes. Rétro de grains apportant cette pointe de céréales. Effluves astringentes rappelant les oranges sanguines. Palais on retrouve les grandes dignes d’un côté brett et sauvage maintes fois visités. Boisé modéré sur des notes de brett qui restent tout autant basique. Agrumes avec cette impression de bergamote et de léger vin blanc - boisé. Effervescence reste haute et tart avec une petite note vanillée en fin de bouche et de boisé. ok, mais rien d’exceptionnel et le brett retombe dans la catégorie utilisée par trop de brasserie.
