Intensely sour, funky and farmyardy with some tartness, citrus notes, earthiness and hints of oakiness. A bit harsh.

Optisch bernsteinfarben und dezent trüb mit feiner Perlage und champagnerartigem Aufschäumen. Der daraus resultierende, weiße, feinporige Schaum fällt jedoch relativ rasch zusammen. In der Nase machen sich komplexe, vielschichtige, säuerlich wirkende Fruchtaromen von frühreifen Beeren, Steinobst und angenehmer Wildhefe breit. Der Antrunk kommt erfrischend säuerlich, feinrezent und gut moussierend. Der Körper zeigt sich mit einer guten Fülle, fein moussierender Rezenz, leichter Cremigkeit, sowie schöner Trockenheit und erfrischender Säure. Geschmacklich und aromatisch dominieren komplexe Säure- und Fruchtnoten. Frühreife Beeren, zarte Noten von Kern-, Steinobst und saurer Traube. Dazu mischt sich ein schöner, leicht animalischer Wildhefecharakter mit leichter Herbe im hinteren Bereich der Zunge. Das wunderschöne, harmonische und erfrischende Gesamtbild hat eine gute Drinkability zur Folge. Der Nachtrunk gestaltet sich weiterhin erfrischend, säuerlich und fruchtig mit herbem Wildhefecharackter, der sich letztendlich gut in der Kehle festsetzt. Fazit: Man muss nicht zwingen nach Belgien fahren, um solch tolle Biere zu genießen. Hut ab und riesen Respekt!
