Draft sample @ BXL BeerFest 2022.
Dorée/pâle, col fin blanc.
Arôme est assez plaisant avec un bouquet intéressant venant des aiguilles de genévrier, rappel de sous-bois, assez frais, léger funk perce en rétro-nasal.
Palais met bien en avant un usage intéressant du genèvrier (aiguilles), le tout avec un caractère intéressant comme pour le saiguilles de pin confère un caractère boisé/forêt, aiguille fraiche oscillant sur un léger résineux avec une petite note terreuse.
