3/VIII/24 - 75cl bottle from the brewery, shared @ home, BB: 1/I/26 (2024-667)
Clear orange blond beer, big aery irregular creamy white head, unstable, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: nice, very fruity, citrus notes, complex, brett notes, white grapes. MF: lively yet gentle carbonation, medium to full body. Taste: nice, a good acidity, very fruity, white grapes, lemony. Aftertaste: super fruity, a little woody, a bitter touch, juicy, lovely stuff, I really like it!

Bottle shared at tasting. Clear golden color, medium sized bubbly white head. Aroma is grapes, sour, hayish barnyard. Flavor is again grapes, sourish, distant red fruit hints, wine influence detectable. Solid, however a bit heavily carbonated which annoys me.

Grape ale making use of Riesling grapes and fermented with the mixed house culture Dok already used before in two of its most interesting creations, namely Ghentoise and DAC Vieille Brunoise. Bottle shared at the premises. Thick and foamy, snow white, stable, firm head, misty pale yellow blonde robe with greenish tinge. Aroma of indeed Riesling (of the drier kind – less popular than the sweeter kind), fresh lime zest, raw rhubarb, cucumber, sourdough, Chardonnay, raw green bell pepper, ripe Conference pear, green melon, white yoghurt, green tomato, chamomile and something very vaguely Aloë vera cream-like. Crisp, brightly fruity onset, green pear, Cox’s Orange Pippin apple and obviously (strong) white grape juiciness and sweetishness balanced by lime-, fresh sorrel- and rhubarb-like sourness, green gooseberry and cucumber notes as well, even a hint of yellow plum; champagne-like effervescence, smooth sourdoughy core softened by oatmeal, clear wheaty base too, under ongoing rich yellow-green fruitiness, balancing cleverly between sour and sweet. White grape grows evidently stronger in the end as the Riesling unveils its full juiciness, but the cucumber, gooseberry, pear and apple notes continue unabatedly as well. A light lime-like zestiness further adds to the overall colour palette and helps establish a beautifully ‘pure’, crisp and radiant finish. Utterly refreshing sour ale, generous in its Riesling grapes which are cleverly embedded in the mixed yeast culture, which has proven what it is capable of in Ghentoise and DAC Vieille Brunoise as well – this Château Bourgeoise is a wonderful third chapter in this story and like its predecessors, belongs to the finest beers produced by Dok so far. Would love to revisit this one at home so I may take home a bottle next time.
