Description
We are two brothers, Tom and Wim, who have been exploring the possibilities of wildly fermented drinks for many years. In Kortenaken, next to the house of Tom we constructed a small farmhouse brewery and fermentorium. ​ Our main activity consists in the production of wild ales. Being located in Belgium, we're giving a twist to two local traditions: saison/farmhouse ales and lambic/sour ales. We do not aim at historical reproduction, but allow ourselves all freedom in creatively revisiting these styles. We also like to experiment with gruit, i.e. non-hopped beers, in which we use homegrown or foraged herbs and fruits to create culinary surprises. All of our beers are barrel aged. We like to get our hands dirty, diving deep into the raw, material world of grains, hops, yeasts... That's why we never outsource any brewing. ​ Every autumn, we also produce some dry, hard cider, from handpicked apples of old varieties of our own and neighbouring orchards, together with some natural wines from our home vineyard.

Good white head (!) over golden cider. Woody notes with a lambic-like aroma, lactic acid. White wine obvious, as are apples. Fantastic balance with all the different fruitflavours. (Dried) apples are foremost, each new sip ahs a short moment of sweet apples, after which the natural acids take over agein. Spritzy - invisible - carbonation, very outspoken dry-out effect. Absolutely great cider, with both vinous and beery elements.

Small white head over orangey, veiled golden beer. Peach nose, exotic fruit, unripe fruit, delicate aromas. Sweeter than the nose let me believe. Again peach, other stonefruit, white winegrapes. Has indeed a streak of white wine with extra acids, or even sparkling wine. Very refreshing, invigorating; light body, light acidthinning. Another Antidoot gem.

Bottle at Kim Jong Un Buurtcentrum Zaandam, part of the (pre) tasting before the Moersleutel Investors Palooza. Clear pale golden color, no head. Aroma and flavor are sourish, sourish fruit. Harsh to describe properly but really smooth and tasty. Lovely beer.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 08/23. yellow almost clear color, small white head. smells peaches, parfumy, flowery, marzipan. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes subtle peaches, toasted coconut, marzipan, stone fruits, lightly sweet. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of subtle peaches, coconut and marzipan. very nice one, peaches are rather on the subtle side. the coconut notes are rather interesting. overall very good one, lacks a bit of fizzyness, finish is a tad boring / finish feels actually a tad heavy (considering "only" 6.5% abv). overall very good one though.
