The poison mixer from the period of the Tsars in Russia. The blend owes his name to one of my guilty pleasures Disney films (Anastacia from 1997).

How we came up with this name comes from the oxalic acid that rhubarb carries in itself and withdraws from the leaf back into the stem after spring. This makes it important to pick the rhubarb before this process takes place. The rhubarb that we used for this blend is partly grown on Zeeland soil and this also translates into the taste. A slight salinity is noticeable here. The final blend is an assembly of 3 different types of rhubarb.

18/VI/22 - 75cl bottle @ De La Sambre Saison Festival, BB: n/a, 2021 version (2022-760) Thanks for sharing!

A little cloudy orange blond beer, small creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: oh my, that’s a lot of rhubarb all right, nice! Good funky backbone, spicy touch. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: all rhubarb, good gentle acidity, very refreshing, well done!
