Aged om ‘Genoels Elderen’ barrels for 2 years. Limited edition.
La Renaissance Grand Cru, and after more than two years aging in white Burgundy barrels, it has changed completely. Only 50 IBU's are left, the beer has big white wine and orange-like fruity flavours with lingering bitterness

1 March 2025. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks to hosting, Tim & Marina, and cheers to the whole crew!
Dust, old plum, apple sauce, pear. Sweetish apple & pear, bitter citrus peel, cake. Bitter resinous hops, bit harsh, grapefruit & brown soap. Bit boozy jenever alcohol. Fizzy carbonation. Somewhat out of balance, I think it had more potential.

Taste: pretty bitter, a bit chemical, lots and lots of tannins, a little medicinal, orange peel. Aftertaste: a little fruity, orange peel, very bitter finish, quite some chemical bitterness, orange peel, a bit oxidized, ok but not great.

Bottle. Color: Hazy amber, large white head. A lot of foam steadily keeps coming out of the bottle, needed a second glass to catch everything. Aroma: Brett funk, hop. Taste: Mix of grassy hop, white wine and Brett funk with oak wood and some citrus notes. Dry and hopbitter Bretty and wine finish. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Light to moderate sweet, over moderate going to strong bitterness at the finish. Great one again from dDvdK.

Bouteille 75cl, merci Willy d'avoir ramené cela en direct de la brasserie. Bouteille partagée avec Kevin et Vincent. BB 06/2025, lot# 20220080. Ici, une version reprenant la base IPA anglaise.
Couleur pâle, col épais crémeux bien tenace blanc-cassé.
Arôme donne de suite le ton avec un excellent apport de la barrique de ce domaine belge avec une complexité marquée du vin blanc, le tout avec un rétro-nasal fleuri et fruité. Le malté est présent et apporte une petite note biscuitée (effet Marris et/ou Golden Promise?)
Palais est sur une bonne base maltée pâle, cara pâle, pils, fruité de la barrique asse marqué et très frais avec un excellent fini fleuri et fruité oscillant entre fruits à noyaux et raisin avec une subtile minéralité en fin de bouche.
DVDK continue à impressionner tout en restant sur des bières classiques, très loin de sortir une version haze chaque semaine ou d'user de lactose.
