Old bottle, can't tell how old. Purchased at Webb Chapel Beer. Major discount. Stemless wine glass back @the bnb. Opaque hard tea, lingering lace Tea, melon, bittergreen, lemon, sweat, slight dank. Tea, aged hops, slight astringency, lemon, veggies, some oxidation. Soft, persistent bitterness. Full carb, boozy for 6%, definitely oxidized. Still kinda good.

26 April 2022. At Hal 16 (Dok Brewing). Shared with the lovely Anke!

Clear golden, thin, off-white head. Aroma of wet straw, grass, hay, mandarin peel, lime. Taste has sweetish plum, sourish mandarin and apple, citric and funky hay aspects. Grassy hoppy finish with woody tannins, herbs and tart fruit. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very solid Saison.

Amber with a lingering, frothy, white head. Aroma rich with oak. Slight vanilla. Candy. Sour apple taste. Finishes sour with lingering oak and white wine vinegar. Medium-bodied. Nuanced.

Farmhouse ale, or rather just sour ale, from this renowned and pioneering Swiss brewery, thanks Johan Lamarcq for sharing. Snow white, dense, moussy, slowly opening head on a hazy orange-tinged peach blonde beer. Aroma of green gooseberries, wild apples, yoghurt, raw rhubarb, sourdough, dust, dried rosemary, honey, lime juice. Crisp onset, lively carbonated, bit stingy even; impressions of apple peel and light gooseberry mixed with softer pineapple and peach notes, gently sour with a sweetish core; bready malts with a honeyish edge, dried by soft but persistent yoghurty lactic sourness, ending dryish and mildly bitter with a grassy hoppiness accentuating the drying sourness. Herbal notes of dried basil and rosemary appear as well, but everything is tied together nicely, making for a quenching, sour-bitterish, spicy finish. Very pleasantly and easily drinkable, ‘summery’, well-balanced sour ale, a ‘saison’ only in the Anglo-Saxon (sour) sense of the word and not so much in the traditional Belgian way, but certainly conveying BFM’s experience and craftmanship well.
