Wood-aged ‘wild ale’ by this popular wild ale specialist, hopped with Saaz and seemingly spiced with mandarin and water mint; weirdly with blue coloured logo rather than the yellow one shown here. From a 37,5 cl bottle shared with Craftmember and generously donated by Erwin P., thanks! Medium thick, off-white, opening head lacing in dots over a misty, warm apricot blonde beer with straw-golden edges. Aroma of dried lemon rind or indeed mandarin peel, sourdough, kefir, dry sherry, green pear, gooseberry, dry hay, damp earth and a floral, sweet aroma piercing through subtly but unmistakably – I guess representing the water mint, but a bit camomile-like as well. Sour onset, bit lemony but nowhere too sharply acidic, lively lactic tartness, medium carb, supple bready and cereally malt base with grainy edges (buckwheat and ‘dimly’ spicy rye), aromatized by lemon peel-, lemonbalm- and camomile-like herbal aspects, which I again assume come mostly from the dried water mint they used; even a light herb astringency is noticeable in the end, alongside even more noticeable citrus peel effects from the mandarin. Light bready and earthy yeasty aspects too, adding to the ‘studied’ rustic nature of the beer. Quite stylish, smooth and refined for a wild ale, deliciously so indeed. Nevel house style all the way through.

Bottle. Blonde. Soft fruity and vegetable notes in the aroma. A modest sourness with salt, Peach, citrus and a hint of vanilla, the complexity is there. maybe a hint of licorice in the finish. Good.

Bottle at Luppolo Station in Rome. Misty golden pour, practically no foam. Nose: spicy and citric (and hoppy) aroma, quite fruity, lime. Mouth: tart start which goes watery right away, really thin after the first sip (which blasts). Short end
