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 clear blonde. Medium small , fast fading white head. Scent is full, beautifully complex tartness, vineous, ofcourse. Very, very fine and elegant. Taste is full, tart, beautifull light yet present fruityness. Actually, it's not light in intensity, just in loudness. This is a smooth one. Just about as sour as an elegant beer can be, without going towards the side where sourness takes over the elegance. Medium carbonation. Mouthfeel is medium thin , but works very well with the totallity of the beer. The grapes are fairly herbal, raw and even a bit unripe, definately showcasing what in wine would be pounting towards colder climate. This is a very fun one, well surpassing expectations. Culinairy beer for sure.

Pours slightly hazed blonde, small white head fades fast. Aroma has quince taking the lead, Apple burried beneath, riesling is quite hard to find. The basebeer isn't very loud either, showing very mild funk and wood traces. Taste is very dry, and quite harsh. Quince taking the lead once more, but it's not as smooth as I had hoped, at all. Especially for Antidoot, normally THE brewery to bring balance and make blended tastes really work, this is a bit out of the ordinary.
