Bottle at a tasting. Rather high bitterness, also high tannins from berry piths, assertive red fruit character, but does not combine well with the hops at all. Med-light sourness too. Combines weirdly and not goodly.

5 July 2019. At Dok Brewing Festival. Cheers to Anke & Ghent beer crew! Hazy ochre, lasting, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of passionfruit, old yellow apple, peach, pineapple, sourdough, lime, melon. Taste is light to medium fruity sour, notes of gooseberry & passionfruit with a lemony-wheaty edge, next to sweetish impression of peach & pineapple, somewhat bitter stonefruit underneath. Dryish, floral hoppy finish, lingering sourish yellow fruit, brett & stonefruit. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Well executed hoppy Sour.

Brettanomyces-refermented IPA from a Luxemburg microbrewery I hadn’t heard of before, at Dok Brewing Festival. Creamy, thick, papery lacing, stable head, misty golden blonde robe with straw-yellowish tinge. Aroma of damp haystack, old moldy grapefruit peel, dry bread crust, white pepper, wet leather, banana peel, jute bags, dried peaches. Fruity onset, notes of banana, peach, pineapple and green melon, lively carbonated with the carbon dioxide adding mild sourishness, smooth bready malt body with an earthy, funky, hayish Brett effect showing up retronasally, adding dryness, old lemon peel effects and earthiness to a leafy and grapefruity hop bitter finish, dry and refreshing. I like Bretted hoppy beers a lot – it must have all started with Orval so many years ago – and this is a very good example, would love to revisit it bottled actually.
