Igjen er vi samlet til aktiv rusomsorg, RBHD-kveld på Bjørnøy jan-20: 0,33 flaske, den siste fra Belgisk Bryg-lageret mitt. Urovekkende lydløs åpning, men allikevel fint skum som varer. Brunsvart. Lys kaffe, mørke malter og melkesjokolader, et bjørenbær eller to. Fin bitterhet og mersmak i avslutningen.

Having sensed the renewed attention for sour beers in the beer world – and also in Belgium – Pirlot took on this experiment to create a generic sour ale (American style). Thick and mousy, snow white, quite dense but eventually opening and dissolving head, cloudy ‘dirty’ orange to copper robe with an ochre-beige hue. Aroma of sour apples, sour grape juice, caramel, redcurrant, band aid-like ‘clinical’ phenols, bread crumbs, lemon peel. Sour onset, bit lemony with hints of wild apples and redcurrant berries but all rather subdued and a bit ‘dull’, medium carbonation, slick caramelly and bread crumb-like malt base persistently but monotonously dried by this lactic sourness, with a notably apple-like flavour in the finish, accompanied by a somewhat chalky note (and not hop bitterness to speak of – none expected either). Ends a bit powdery, apple-ish and quite refreshing. Rather simple, thinnish and dull interpretation of a sour especially coming from the one country that kept mixed and spontaneous fermentation alive before the craft beer renaissance – but refreshing and enjoyable all the same.

33cl bottle. A hazy orange golden beer with a big off white head. Aroma of belgian yeast, mild tangerine, caramelized malt. Taste of strong pale malt, riped fruits, honey, belgian yeast.

11/I/20 - 33cl bottle @ home, BB: 24/IV/21 batch: L20180021 (2020-33) Thanks to Alengrin for sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy reddish to orange brown beer, small beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of caramel, some vinegar, malty, grains, cow fodder, ersatz chocolate, little spicy. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very sourish start, vinegar notes, bit fruity. Aftertaste: lemon juice, apple skin, bitter, some tannins, interesting, not bad, but not great either.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small offwhite head. Aromas are pretty sour, acid, roast, dark fruits, red wine, malts, brett? Infection much? Taste is pretty infected-like aswell, roast and sour, plums, red wine, dry wood.

Solid enough. Light esters, roast and raisins.

Tap at the Hoppy Loft. Aroma is lightly cream cheesy, some hoppiness. Taste is good. Refreshing, light bitterness, yeasty.
