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.

Pours slightly hazy, amberblonde. Small , fast fading white head. Scent is Sharp, full on spices, mild , yet very raw grzainyness behind it. Maturing took good care of this, seemingly! Taste is tart, dry, very spice-forward, loads of citrus (bitter oranges) and a funky, earthy, very typical 'new' thing to me (gentian root) . Together they balance on the fine line of being over the top thouhg, and the idea of cleaning products / pot pourri comes dangerously close, but in a way it still works. Not at all my favorite Antidoot, but a respectable offering nevertheless.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled May 2024. yellow clear color, medium big white head. smells earthy, grassy, herbal, peppery, tobacco, wildflowers, some citrus. very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes herbal, tobacco, peppery, earthy, some citrus, thyme, wildflowers. finishes medium bitter and lightly sour with notes of pepper, tobacco and wildflowers. pretty good one, great smell, taste does not totally click (yet), its a tad heavy, this should be great in another year. But very nice one though.

0,75l bottle at home. Botttled 09/2024. amber hazy color, small white head. Smells earthy, grassy, spices, herbal, some funk, very light fruit notes. very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. Tastes earthy, herbal, spices, light plums, peppery, tobacco, light funk. Finishes dry and light to medium sour with notes of earth, spices and peppery notes. Very nice one overall, only very subtle plum notes, the beer is way more prominent. The combination of beer and fruit is not totally balanced, a tad on the heavy side overall.
