They have created a separated environment for this side project, and imported aged foeders from Italy, France or Switzerland. It was started in 2018, and their first available references where presented in 2020.

Bottle from Etre. Slightly cloudy golden with white head. Apricots, some citrus, a bit of yeast and minerals. Slightly fragrant and perfumy. Solid!

Pours a bit unclear blonde. Large white head. Scent has funk, malty, bit hoppy touch. Buttery, almost. Taste is full, tart, beautifull acidity. Elegant malt forward profile. Cantillon-style funk, and even totallity reminds of a specifically good batch of Cantillon geuze. Impressive !

0.375 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before November 2028. Hazy, pale golden with a thin, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, a little sourish, rather fruity, gently floral aroma of ripe apple, lemon, pineapple, rosemary and sage indeed. Slightly sweet, gently sour, rather fruity and moderately floral taste of ripe apple, gooseberry, lemon, white grapes, rosemary and sage, followed by a medium long, gently tart, slightly woody finish. Medium body, gently astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Unique beverage, unexpectedly herbal, really fresh and fruity. Very different from the grafs I've tried so far.
