On tap at One Pint Pub, pours a cloudy, opaque dark amber orange with a large beige head. Aroma has dry, tart dark fruits, moderate musty brett, and bready malt. Flavour has plenty of musty brett, bready malt, and a touch of red fruits. Dry, musty, murky, not too complex or well-expressed. Alright.

Reddish colour and small white head. Light fruity, funky nose. Light-bodied. Watery. Some hops, fruity yeast. Easy.

The new blonde (or rather: amber coloured) follow-up to the classic dark Duivelsbier, originally a kind of strong faro and in any case a beer with a long history - so I guess this one can be said to have at least a pedigree. Steinie bottle from Streekproductencentrum Halle, shared with Craftmember. Thick, egg-white, stable, frothy, slowly opening head on an initially clear, deep orangey-golden robe with amber glow, misty with sediment. Rather weak aroma of indeed clear Brettanomyces but in a somewhat onedimensional way, horseblanket, old leather, damp straw, urine (stronger warming up), bitter honey, crackers, unsalted peanuts, dried dandelion leaves. Dry-fruity onset, very clean and quite straightforward for this kind of beer actually, hinting at persimmon, dried apricot and tamarillo but very vaguely so, low in sweetness with soft carb and smooth, if a tad fluffy mouthfeel. Bread-crusty, peanutty, cracker-ish slick 'amber maltiness', with gently but surely drying wild yeast, refraining itself from the complex funkiness I was hoping for, instead delivering just the basic, laboratory-grown Brett effects of horseblanket and urine - unmistakable, but a bit, well, meagre. Hop bitterness is floral, mellow and short-lived, so it too falls short in adding complexity, though I imagine it has been kept low deliberately; the finish thus ends with a thin amber maltiness and rather quickly fading, monotonous Brett effects. Very sleek and clean - way too much so, in fact, like a kind of baby Orval, or a wild ale for beginners... Who knows what more extended cellaring can do here, but in this relatively fresh form, the Brett - the only dominant player - should have been more complex and positioned against other elements. In this form, it feels a bit like a one-trick pony, but it has been very long since I had its original dark predecessor, maybe a comparison of both could be interesting.

0.33 l bottle from 'Beyond Beer', best before August 2029. Hazy, golden orange with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity-floral and quite funky aroma of orange peel, brett, old gooseberry, some barnyard and a bit of honey. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite fruity-floral and rather funky taste of honey, orange, old gooseberry, hay, brett and some barnyard, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Quite nice, rather well-balanced, actually fairly tame for a 'wild' beer.

Yellowish, small head over copperish orange beer. First appearance of floormop Bretts @ Boon. Disconcerting. Almonds. Again floormop Brett. OK, it says "wild", not "spontaneous", but this is off-putting. Exactly as the first American all-Brett beers. Light body, well-carbonated. Poor, simply poor. Boon - unworthy. Frank, De Vits draait zich om in z'n graf. Txs to Stef!

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Mostly clear orange amber. Good off white foam. Nose has ginger biscuit malts and orangey brett. Taste is a little sweet and malty first with a prickly bitterness. Foamy and fresh on the palate. Nice bretty orange peel bitterness to finish. Has a feel of a fresh Orval about it. Great stuff.

Bottle shared at mini-tasting. Clear darker orange golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, decently bretty, a bit yeasty, a bit bitter, nice rather dry bitter finish. Quite nice, I like it. Orval-ish. Well brewed.

330ml bottle bought from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Brownish gold and clear with a quickly dissipating off-white head leaving a small ring. Light barnyards funk, earth tones. Caramel in the sweet taste, a touch of sour funk, harsh saccharine finish and aftertaste. Light to medium body, medium carbonation. Dull and weird, not very bretty, but also sort of refreshing.

Bottle. Color: Clear amber, white head. Aroma: Brett funk, malty, fruity esters. Taste: Rural Brett funk, maty, fruity stonefruit esters. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Light sweet, tart and bitter. Ok but I've had better Brett beers.
