0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet' as 'Saison van de Bruwer' at 5.3% abv, bottled in November 2021 (!). Hazy, golden with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-floral, fairly funky aroma of lemon peel, manure, gooseberry and hay. Slightly sweetish, moderately bitter, quite dry, gently fruity-floral and rather funky taste of lots of manure, lemon peel, gooseberry, hay and grains, followed by a short, moderately bitter, fairly dry finish. Thin to medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Too much brett funk, unfortunately in an unpleasant way, yet an interesting brew.

Bottled 13JUL22, drunk 6/8/25.
Clear and bright gold-brass. Sizeable, well-retained, white head.
This is like perfectly developed and in the sweet spot. Luscious Orval-like yeast, though less bandaid than some of the best Orval noses I've smelled. No over-developed notes yet, and a biscuity and rustic, lightly bready spelt/malt character to gently balance. Soft funk, black pepper, honey and floral notes linger.
Bright and clean with dainty Brett done perfectly. Peppery and gently acidic with nothing overdeveloped and an excellent, deeply malty texture that shows good attenuation. Balanced and bright with luscious Brett for days.

Bottles from House Of Trembling Madness (2024) and The Beerhive (2025). Hazy pale golden body with a huge white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of green apple, funky yeast, rhubarb and lemon sherbet. Flavour of lemon, lime and green apple with a dry, zesty finish. Medium body with a watery, slick mouthfeel. Light fizz. This is zippy and bright, despite both bottles being brewed 3.0 years and 2.5 years ago; the yeast has certainly taken effect.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sour. La finezza olfattiva è elevata, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare velato. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza e c'è anche una componente acidula in maniera pungente. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si attestano note di frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, arancia, mandarino, erbe aromatiche, ananas, albicocche, cereali e sour.
