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.

Tart, vinous and herbal with some woody notes, hints of farmyard and earthiness. Dry and earthy

0,75l bottle at home. Vintage 22/23. red hazy color, small white head. Smells oak, tannins, estragon, light minerality, light berry notes. rather subtle but nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes berry notes, grapes, tannins, peppery, some estragon, earthy. Finishes bit bitter, lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of tannins, peppery notes and estragon. good stuff, but also definitly not the best antidoot cider there is.

0,75l bottle at home. deep red color, small white head. Smells herbal, spices, estragon, peppery, horseradish. nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. Tastes peppery, herbal, earthy, grassy, horseradish, estragon, citric. Finished lightly bitter lightly sour with notes of estragon, horseradish and peppery notes. this is not my favorite antidoot release, its a bit intense and flavors do not blend so well, this one is actually one of the better batches though. good

Bottle, 750 ml, shared at the charity tasting. Cloudy orange, white head. Herbal, some spruce, red grapes, medium sourness, not hat complex in finish, but interesting nevertheless.

Bottle sample at Billie’s. Pinkis pour with a lacing head. Nose is a big blast of fruits, more cherries than raspberry, there’s also a lot of funk to it with a hint of acetic acid. Taste is moderately to heavily sour, slightly acetic with an immense fruit presence. Funk, fruity finish, light to medium body, soft to average carbonation. Lovely.
