Barrel-aged wild bale with angelica, lemongrass, ginger and cascade hops from the Netherlands and the US. Ultimate refreshing sour beer with citrus notes from both the herbs and the hops.

Last year at Hop in ‘t Slot Michael from Afterthought Brewing was present and that made it possible to make a very nice collab together. The ideas of both our breweries are very similar and we have translated that into this beer. An American style saison with a refreshing acidity. To really make the collab something of both breweries, Michael brought American Cascade hops, ginger and lemongrass from a local herb garden. We have introduced the angelica root from Kiemkracht 64 and cascade hops from Brabanthop. Clouded Reflection is fermented with our house culture and barrel aged for 7 months with the Afterthought house culture. Together this makes for the ultimate spring beer: refreshingly tart, lots of citrus notes and a spicy aftertaste.

Fully hazy yellow beer; invisible carbonation. Herbal, delicate spices, dried flowers & herbs; heatherfield. Preserved or pickled lemonpeel. Sour, floral, again a bit of pickles, if with lactic instead of acetic acid. Different dried herbs, drugstore flavours. Light to medium bodied - but with acidthinning. Low carbonation. Typical Nevel, read: outstanding.

Bottle. Hazy yellow golden. Nevel funk up front, wheat, soft grains, light white pepper, lemon juicy, elderflower, a bit of spices, yoghurt, light hops. Medium sweet and quite sour. Medium bodied. Tasty, but quite a lot more sour than most Nevel beers. Maybe even a bit too sour.
