On tap at Kulminator, pours a cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma is earthy, with leather, gentle chilli peppers, a touch of salt, and a hint of old funk. Flavour is earthy and spicy, with chili pepper, saltiness, earthy funky and a touch of leather. Finishes smoky, earthy and gently salty. Unusual but pretty good.

Pours clear pale blonde. No head. Scent is very full, pleasantly thick and intense lambic, funky, very maltforward. A bit oaky. Taste is sharp, a minor heath from the merken pepper, but it's very hidden. Oaky, malty lambic, that is surprisingly clean in terms of funk. Maybe the pepper provided the funk in the aroma, or blocks the funk on the palate ? An interesting experiment.

At Lya. Hazy orange-amber body, off-white head. Funky, citric aroma, lightly smokey, some creamy stone fruit. Brett. Soft taste, some light, indeed, smoked pepper, with the teeniest of heats, but it's there. A good combo all in all, love the base too!

11/XI/22 - on tap @ Billie’s Craft Beer Fest (day 1), BB: n/a (2022-1488) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Little cloudy blond yellow beer, no head. Aroma: funky, lots of beets, sweaty feet, funky, weird, spicy touch, wood, pretty smoky upon warming up. MF: no carbon, medium to light body. Taste: nice, clean acidity, lemony, bitter, wood notes. Aftertaste: definitely smoky, smoked tea, sourish, lemon.
Very smooth and creamy with a low tart threshold. The spice in the back is a great addition. Billies beer festival 2022

Draft @ Billie's Craft Beer Fest 2022.
Couleur pâle, pas de col.
Arôme semble un peu sur le soufre qui vient accompagner le bouquet plutôt funk du lambic. De ce côté là, je suppose que la base reste identique aux autres infusions de ces essais. L'apport du piment fumé est plutôt discret, et je ne sais pas si cette version contient juste 100% de piment.
Palais est assez intéressant sans pour cela suprendre au goût. Intéressant dans l'usage de ce piment fumé - qui se retrouve dans la même famille que le chipotle sauf ici avec un usage de Aji pour le fumé. Je le trouve tout de même moins piquant. Le tout associé au lambic fonctionne mais snas suprendre - à regoûter dans un autre contexte.
