Cette bière est une ôde aux fermentations mixtes, une déclaration d'amour aux traditions brassicoles belges à la sauce héraultaise.
La cuvée 2021 de la saison du chai est issue d'une assemblage de six de nos meilleurs tonneaux ayant accueilli les différentes bières pendant 10 mois en moyenne.
Au détail : 80% de saisons bien céréalières ensemencées avec différentes souches de levures "fermières" se marient harmonieusement à 20% de bière acide de fermentation mixte.
Résultat : une bière complexe, rustique, vineuse, dont la longueur appelle les discussions passionnées entre amis... Bonne soif !

Bottle at Gent tasting. A bit hazy yellow color, virtually no head. Smell and taste lightly sour, sourish fruit peel notes. Don't get much more. Not bad.

Blended sour ale, similar to the 2020 version but with different proportions of top-fermented saison with 'wild' beer (70/30 in the 2020 version, 80/20 in the 2021 version), by this French craft brewer located near Montpellier in southern France. Thin, loose and open, snow white, moussy head on a misty pale yellow-golden beer. Aroma of ripe pineapple, sugared tea, Doyenné pear, brioche bread, sweet cicely or anise, yoghurt, sulfuric touch in the background. Tart, fruity onset, green pear and pineapple esters, minerally carb, supple cereally and sweet-bready maltiness softly edged by a tart lactic dryness, evoking green apple and unripe pear impressions, next to this gentle but noticeable anise- and ‘drop’-like herbal aspect. Mild herbal hops, remaining very soft in bitterness so that its refreshing, mild, gentle character is maintained till the last drop. Clever and elegant beer, not overspiced like I was fearing but instead kept well in balance.
