Due to the combination of over-fermentation, acidification by fermentation with Brettanomyces and infusion with American oak, a gentle sour, fresh beer with clear notes of wood is obtained.

A little sour plum with a touch of oak. Pours amber with OK head and lacing. Tangy finish with some life astringency. Not bad, though something is a little off on this one at the finish. Tap at Pizza paradiso Dupont.

330 ml. bottle split with digita769, Martinus + 1. Procured from Willems & Zoon. Dark amber, small off-white head. Nose is sweet light vinegar base, touch balsamic with light herbs & faint cacao, red berries typical Oud Bruin smell. Taste is a bit empty, touch watery, red berries, balsamic vinegar, light herbs, faint metal, sour malt,… Reasonably watery, light metal,… It has all of the characteristics of the style but it is on the lower end for quality, lacks execution, could scratch an itch but won’t reach any heights.
