Emmer is a sour session IPA and the first Apero beer on the market. We used emmer grain to get some aroma's of hay, an amazing yeast for a soft sour and hibiscus flower for the colour. Also we added 2 hops to give the beer his citrussy and winey flavours.
The idea was to create a beer that everybody can drink, low alcohol and a link to the popular nature wine. It's unique and perfect on a hot summer day.
Take an Emmer instead of cava or champagne! You won't regret it!
Cheers!

Clear yellow appearance with quick fading head. Very floral aroma and taste. Has a vinous and slightly yeasty dryness.

Mortselarij/Gistgeest version Draught Medium, very stable off-white head over clear copper beer 8. Rosewater, rosepetals (probably the hibiscus), coloured malts, parsley, brown herbs, bit bready. 6.5 Light sourish, lactic, with again this rosewater/rosehips-like flavour, spoiling nothing. Hint of rhubarb. 7.5 Lipsmacking acidity, bit slick, almost tart. Light body, not very carbonated.7 Nice! Ideal summerbeer, I'd say.7 7.1/10
't Verzet Version Very good light-yellowish, dense head; orangey yellow beer, veiled and finely carbonated. Some lace. Quite aromatic, exotic fruit, lunaria, but also a tad dusty nose. Quite sourish, not sharp. Again a backthroat faint dusty feel. Light sourish fruit or vegetables (sourish cucumber?), citrus. Quite spritzy, tittilating MF, light body, refreshing. I wouldn't have guessed hibiscus, but quite plausible. Different from the Mortselarij version?

Sour ale – fermented with Lachancea and therefore technically a Philly sour – commissioned by The BeerSteward from Gistgeest in Antwerp; presenting itself as the world’s first “apero beer” (which is commercial nonsense of course), this beer is brewed with emmer wheat, one of our cultivated wheat’s wild ancestors and admittedly a rarity in brewing today, and flavoured with hibiscus. Snow white, moussy, open and thinnish head, clean pale orange blonde robe with vaguely salmon-pinkish tinge. Aroma of unripe nectarine, gooseberry, plum, bergamot, stale lime juice, green apple, sourdough. Tart onset, more so than expected, hints of lime, sorrel and Granny Smith apple, softly carbonated (almost flat even); lactic, kefir-like tartness continues round a sourdoughy, bit grainy and indeed wheaty core, paired with lingering green apple, gooseberry and sour grape impressions, towards a dryingly tart, bit vinous, fruity but relatively short finish, in which I find very little of the promised citrusy hoppiness. More hops could save the day here, but in itself an elegant little sour alright.

20/VIII/22 - 33cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival, BB: n/a (2022-1076)
Clear orange blond beer, small creamy white head, unstable, a bit adhesive, no lacing. Aroma: very fruity, tropical fruits, juicy touch, mango, a bit spicy, very juicy, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity, peaches and apricots, some mango, good stuff. In hindsight I’m not really sure I’ve been poured the correct beer... This doesn’t seem like when I had the beer again a couple times at later moments... I guess I’ll update this comment if I come across a more recent rating (at least I think I rated it a second time at least).
