Barrel Aged fruity Sour Ale. Historical blend of a rustical saison of which half is aged 6 months in oak barrels which contained wine. Remarkably komplex, dinstinguished through the wild yeasts’ actions. Refreshring, well-balanced between sour and bitter notes, as well as an intensiv fruitiness. The ideal and surprising compromise between wide aromtatic complexity and a refreshing easy drinking beer.

Bottle: Poured a light hazy yellow color ale with a super large foamy white head with great retention and some very good lacing. Aroma of light bready yeast notes with some light funky vinous notes and rustic malt with nice floral notes. Taste is also a remarkable mix of rustic malt with light bready yeast with some peppery notes and some light funky notes with white wine notes also perceptible. Body is about average with almost perfect carbonation. Lovely stuff that I would love to have access to on a regular basis.

Bottle - Batch 9 - Funky lemon, tropical fruit with some raw oak and grass. Cloudy gold with a rich white head. Tart and funky lemon, nice hoppy bitterness and a dry bitter finish. There is quite a bit going on and hard to explain, but well balanced flavors that is quite refreshing.

Rerate, 750 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6%, vintage 2016. Cloudy golden colour, large white head. Fresh aroma of lemons and brettanomyces. Lemony sour flavour, also "spicy" brettanomyces notes. I'm upping it a point or two. Original rating: Sample from bottle at Edle Dråper-messen, Stavanger. Pale straw colour, hazy. Lemony aroma and flavour, more sour than any other saison I’ve had. Refreshing? Oh yes. A masterpiece? Hardly ... Worth spending a fair amount of money to buy a 750 ml bottle? It’s up to you, but I doubt I will.

Flaske fra polets nyhetsslipp mars-14: fin gylden, uklar farge med flott hvitt skum. Frisk sitronaktig aroma med litt gjær og krydder. Smaken likeså - dette er "a splendid brow-cooling aid", som skapt for fine sommerdager. Så lett og frisk i ettersmaken at påfyll kommer av seg selv. Desverre såpass overpriset (for sine 5%) til at den blir et naturlig valg ut over våren.

Flaske 0,75l. Spandert av Rune under hyggelig treff i WCveien 11 Jan 14. Lys gylden. Uklar. Høyt skum med mye lacing. Beskjeden fruktaroma. Smaken er fruktig - men litt vassen.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy finger thick head. Aroma is tart and yeasty with earthy notes of oak and brett. Very nice. Full body with soft carbonation. Flavour is sour with funky yeast notes of brett, as well as fruits and berries, ending is a fruity sour apple finish.

Bouteille 75cl de Grain d’Orge @ Crissier. BB 06/2014. Orangée trouble col épais, très soyeux et crémeux tenace de couleur blanc cassé. Arôme offre qcq note de brett avec un sucre résiduel persistent et fort présent tout comme cet accompagnement de barrique de Saint Bonch’. Retrouve un bouquet rustique sur des pointes fermentées et de grains. Palais est rustique sur un boisé modéré ici le tout est renforcé par le mûrissage en barrique de Saint Bonch’. Retrouve aussi ce côté typique de brett-léger funk dopant des pointes d’abricot. Je note une certain douceur sucrée qui vient contrebalancé le profil un peu acidulé de la bière, le tout renforcé par des grains de type saison oscillant entre du carapils et pâle laissant juste le nécessaire au niveau malté. Possible fini fruité rouge venant de la barrique? ce fini est par ailleurs sec avec une possible pointe vanillée arrivant discrètement en toute, mais toute fin de bouche.

Gul uklar farge med hvitt skum. Lukter som vin. Syrlig og musserende munnfølelse. God!
