Description
Nous concocter la meilleure bière! Founded in 1997 by Jérôme Rebetez, who had formerly been trained as an oenologist, this tiny brewery has rapidly become known for making beers that stretch traditional beer style guidelines and use unorthodox ingredients. BFM's products are made in small batches and hand-packaged at the brewery.
hazy bright orange colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of woody, sour cherry juice, citric, some acetone and acetic acidy notes; taste has the same notes with some unripe fruity notes; really good one (though it is rather a Flemish sour ale than a farmhouse one)

Hazy pale yellow colour, minimal off-white lacing; aroma of pineapple, lemony, Belgian yeasty, earthy, green tea, and grapefruity notes; taste has the same notes with definite hoppy bitterness; rather like a Belgian-style IPA than a West Coast one, but otherwise quite good

It is a good beer, with nice aroma of caramel, some spices, malt, few hop, there is a small side of coffee, better than a boxer brunette. 12.11.2016, tasting it at Lausanne, Prélaz, buying it probably at one coop supermarket.

The sixth one of 22 beers for our 12th wedding anniversary. White Ašát's.
Bottle 0.75l. Cloudy, copper colored. AROMA- red wine, dark grapes, strawberry, honey, plum, sweet jam, berries, touch of brandy. FLAVOR- lightly sweet, light to medium sourness, tart finish, the same as aroma, sour cherry, red and black currant, blackberry, blueberry... Full, syrupy body.
Simply great.

Bottle. Ok, said it before. Just not a fan of sour type ales, but I keep trying. Nice pinkish color with a decent head. Aroma, funky sour cherries and taste was the same. It does give you a good buzz though.

Bottle. Amber in color with a decent head. Aroma was dried fruit with a very slight hint of funk. Taste was raisin, fruity and suprisingly kind of tart.
