Bottle sample during Gents Bierfestival '21 - shared with Tderoeck.
Rosée pâle, col fin blanc.
Arôme est fin et de suite complexe - aromatique sur les notes de pommes et de l'armoise qui procure de suite cette senteur un peu sauvage vers la sauge oscillant vers un côté médicinal.
Palais sur une approche cidre plaisante avec en retrait l’apport herbacé et aromatique de l'armoise - ici pas facile à détecter - seule La Source avait sa série Mauvaise Herbe avec de l'armoise. Cela donne un fini plutôt amer et râpeux en fin de bouche avec une petite note fleurie.

Rusty orange with no head. Aroma has a weird herbal, grassy note. Slightly medicinal. Flavour is similar but less offputting. Very floral and herbal overall.

Clear pale bright carmine red beer, small aery irregular off-white head, unstable, dissipates quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: wow, dirty, very herbal, floral, overripe fruits, bit metallic, rather weird, not very pleasant. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, slightly sweet, fruity, bit juicy, little metallic, herbal notes, nice. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, herbal, bitter, bit weird and metallic, not my favourite.

Taster at gfs place, courtesy of Sander, big thanks for this one. amber hazy color, no head. smells sour, apple vinegar, bit funky, earthy, horse radish, some cellar notes, wood. nice to very nice smell. medium body, light subtle carbonation. tastes vinegarish, peppery, herbal, earthy, grassy, sour apple, light underlying sweetness, peppery notes. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour and a bit bitter with notes of sour apples, herbs and peppery notes. not totally my style, but this is good, grows on me, especially once it warms up. a bit too much sour apples, but overall quite nice one.

Demanding yet delicious once you get past the initial shock. Love of wormwood is required. Pleasantly dry funky base cider, light fruitiness from the wine, plenty of herbal notes and a hefty edge of wormwood bitterness. Love it!
