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.
