Fabel is een fluistering, een speelse windvlaag die in de stad zijn ronde maakt over het marktplein waar de geur van koekjes en abrikoos hangt.

Small white head over glass-adhesive bubbled metallic golden beer. Honeyish pale malts, floral, hints of lactic and other mild acids; stonefruit, yellow fruit, peach. Stonefruit, again a tad honeyish; soft, mild acidity, fruity, floral, lactic and a bit earthy too. Light body, medium carbonation, slick, slowly diminishing aftertaste. Nice.

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Misty gold appearance, small white head. Seems like this is quite possibly the last time I'll get to try Nevel. Pleasant wild air with soft peachy notes but, like many Nevel beers, not enough of the fruit addition shines through unfortunately.

1/III/25 - 75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (2025 Winter/Spring edition), BB: X/2029, 2024 vintage (2025-177) Thanks to Maakun for sharing the bottle!
Little cloudy orange blond beer, small creamy irregular head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very oxidized, very dusty, weird, woody, strange aromas! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, lemony, weird, bitter, a bit woody, oxidized, meh. I’m not a big fan of this one.

Bouteille 75cl @ Belgian Winter gathering 01 March 2025 – Tim’s place, thanks Maarten.
Batch# 5 – BB 10/2029.
Pâle dorée, légèrement voile, col fin blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet fin fruité – pêche, marqué avec un léger funk plaisant en rétro-nasal.
Palais est finement suret, note de pêche fermentée et fraîchement récoltée. Pointe de funk, douceur latente fruitée qui tranche avec la base de cette bière qui se veut plus ‘sour’. Effet un peu velouté de fruits comme abricot/pêche.
