On tap at Borefts 2025. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Wild fermentation aroma. Good carbonation yes some lager character. Then a sour wild finish. OK.

No trace of the Morpheus yeast so kind of pointless as a a concept. A good Kellerbier nonetheless.

0.33 l bottle from 'Mr. Hop', 2024 vintage, best before April 2026. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, gently fruity-floral, moderately funky and a bit grassy aroma of lemon peel, grains, brett funk and some straw. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral, moderately funky and a little grassy taste of grains, straw, brett funk, lemon peel and hints of clove, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, minimally astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Refreshing and fairly quaffable, well-balanced as well.

Bottle. Slight hazy golden. Bready malts, grassy hops, soft lime, more fresh cut grass and older hay, straw, soft funk, dough. Under medium bitter and lighter sweet and sour. Medium bodied. Light sour and refreshing, but also bitter and crisp like a pils with a solid body. Not bad!

Summer beer by Alvinne breaking style boundaries completely: this is apparently intended as a Pilsener of mixed fermentation (which by definition means it cannot be a Pilsener at all, of course). Thick and foamy, plaster-like lacing, off-white, fluffy head over a hazy peach blonde robe with beige-ish hue – unsurprisingly looking nothing like a Pilsener at all. Aroma of dry haystacks, dried wormwood, spice bread, wet leather, unripe apricot, old dry grapefruit peel, sow thistle, orange pith, apple seeds, white pepper, horseradish. Fruity-estery onset, notes of halfripe peach and ripe gooseberry as well as oxidized green apple, very restrainedly sweetish with a soft but clear sourish edge; supple, moderately carbonated mouth feel. Very bready malt core, bread crust and cracker effects under growing, earthy and leafy hop bitterness, wormwoody and extending for a notably long ‘stretch’ into the finish, matching well with earthy funkiness of the Brettanomyces (adding urine and damp hay impressions to the fruitiness it already established at this point). Dry, quenching, earthy-fruity-funky and frankly delicious finish. Obviously this is nowhere near a ‘Pilsener’- take that as the joke it probably is – but a distinct, summery, supple and light, hoppy ‘wild’ ale, quite bright, like a blonde Orval ‘light’ or something like that. Very tasty and artisanal, fit for a sunny afternoon and very much Alvinne.
