750 ml bottle from BXL Beer Fest.
Pale orange, hazy body, with a small, frothy, off-white head.
Aroma of barnyard funk, strawberry, peach, citrus, dough, wood, some cheese, some rhubarb, with peppery notes as the beer warms up.
Tastes pretty similar.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes medium dry, wooden, a bit sweet, a but funky, moderate sour, very fruity, peppery, with rhubarb, some citrus, lingering strawberries.

Lovely mix of the fresh fruits, rustic funk and moderate wooden notes, with the pepper giving another, subtle layer as the beer warms up. Very fresh and balanced to drink, while also pretty complex. Beautiful stuff.

Borefts pre-tasting, 2018. Poured a hazy straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty, fruity. The flavour is moderate sour with a crisp, fresh, tart red berry fruit palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Pours rather unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is full, bit fruity, pretty complex, mild aspects from a tart saison. Taste is full, intense, tart, bit dry, fruity, sophisticated. Nice brew.

750ml bottle from BXLBeerFest. Pours light yellowish orange with a tiny head. Aroma of pear, peach, strawberries, loads of rhubarb and mild sourness. Taste is sourish, slightly funky and heavy with rhubarb, strawberries, mild sourness and peach. Finish is peachy, rhubarby and sweetish with some sourness, strawberries and funky yeastiness. Pretty nice and refreshing.

Farmhouse ale (I am still not convinced by that new 'grisette' hype) flavoured with strawberries, rhubarb and Indonesian black peppercorns, bottles made especially for BXL Beerfest, big thanks to Goodfella for sharing there. Tightly lacing, snow white, medium thick head over a misty peach blonde beer with champagne-coloured hue. Aroma of ripe strawberries and strawberry wine, honey, peach, rosewater, stewed rhubarb, yellow bell pepper which must represent the Lampong pepper I guess, mango chutney, paprika powder. Tart, grapey onset, sweet and sour with clear strawberry flavour, ripe nectarine and vague mango notes, softish carb, soft powdery spicy-peppery effect over a bready backbone, yellow curry-ish side impression matching well with the sour-sweetness, soft citrusy fraîcheur in the finish, a bit vinous, dry and complex. Very fun to drink, a very colourful, delicious and well-executed beer, greatly enjoyed it. Dunham is apparently capable of more than I suspected.

Sample @ BXL BeerFest 2018, shared with Belgian RB crew, thanks. Yeah for another pricey limited beer gift pack that was widely avail at the festival ... meh. Rosé, col blanc léger. Arôme est chargé en bouquet de baies rouges - fraises semble-t-il avec un rétro plaisant de rhubarbe le tout avec un excellent côté wild ale et boisé. Palais est fruité fort plaisant, le tout sous couvert superbe de fleuri et du côté un peu acidulé de la rhubarbe. Relevé par une pointe épicée du poivre. Palais est léger sur note un peu agrumes et par moment, je note un effet ananas. Superbe combinaison de rhubarbe et poivre, l'effet fraise reste plus discret.
