Sour ale fruited with three different Italian grape varieties, by this familiar French craft brewer. Loose and irregular, open, small, off-white head, dissolving over a cloudy dusty pinkish-tinged 'dirty orangey blonde' beer. Aroma of grape juice for children, melting butter, blueberry crumble, freshly baked cookies, fruit yoghurt, strawberry cake, rosehip, sourdough. Sour onset, very fruity and lively with hints of - obviously - blue grapes but also strawberry, apricot and sweet cherry tomato, finely tingling fizz, smooth and bit vinous body; lingering yoghurty lactic tartness alongside a cookie- and biscuit-like maltiness with this weird buttery flavour spread out on top, working towards a rather 'dirty', but juicy and fruity finish where the sweet ripe berries and soft sweetish grape effects return in full glory. Too yeasty with some weird and unexpected side flavours, I believe this idea could have been executed much better.

75cl bottle at Belgian Beergeeks/Brewver summer tasting at Tim's house. BB 20/02/2024, bottled 20/01/2022.
Couleur fine rosée/cuivre, col blanc peu tenace.
Arôme aux effluves plaisantes fruitées oscillant entre fruits rouges et noirs.
Palais est agréable sur les bretts, rondeur discrète des malts, fini légèrement poivré, cépage intéressant avec ce côté marc de raisin résiduel qui apporte un fruité entre cerise noire, cassis et mûre, finement tannique sur la fin.
