Medium white head over fully hazy orange-golden beers. Typical Nevel nose: floral, mild spices, and something refreshing as-but-not mint. Chlorophyl, and the camphor-like aroma from the sweet wormwood. Sourish and herbal/floral. Citrus, lactic acid, garden herbs (wormwood). Acidthinning and lightb-burn. Very well-carbonated, some slickness and a fine, almost wooly texture. And another little gem from this regretted brewery.

Bottle pour at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma has lots of wild yeast, tart berries, and some earthy spiciness. Flavour has a nice bugginess to it, with spicy wild yeast, earthiness from the mugwort, and light bugs. Earthy and buggy, but I’m not digging the mugwort.

MBCC 2025. Session #1
Nice farmhouse notes, berries, dry. Maybe a bit acidic. Good one.

On tap at MBCC 2025, yellow session. Pours murky gold with a white head. Golden raisins and musty blankets on the nose. Flavour is musty with mildewy blankets. Nice.

Bottle at home. Pours opaque golden with a thick, foamy white head that dissipates quickly. Nose is acidic, fruity, zesty citric, it’s got hints of pine, and loads of lime. Taste is less sour than anticipated, it’s fairly and pleasantly tart, it’s funky, fruity, citric again, a touch leathery? It’s vibrant and zappy, light and refreshing. I dig this.

Pours a hazy golden colour and a big, dense white head with long retention. Aroma's: sourish, herbal (lavender?). Retronasal it's sourish, sweetish, herbal. Flavour is above moderate sour with a hint of sweet herbs. Light medium bodied. Long finish, a little dry and woody first, then softening with light sourness.
