75cl bottle, #328/500. 20€ and yes, a champagne like beer that yet again does not warrant its price. Dorée, col épais blanc/crémeux. Arôme est fleuri rappelant le sureau, levure avec ce profile typique belge surtout dans les houblons. Palais est champenois, citronné et houblonné sont bien mis en avant. Amertume fruitée avec une belle effervescence qui est suivit par un léger profile sucre de canne. Le tout conserve cet aspect brut-demi sec avec un fini fleuri et ce côté renfermé levure.

Audible CO² explosion at opening to towering, just yellow head, very stable over very Champenoise pearling amber-ochre beer. Milky, faintly spicy nose, (more than a) tad of yeast/fresh bread, and, indeed, white wine-liek, peaches. Sourish - as in wine - malty, spicy and a bit of yeastesters. There’s something pretty oxydated there as well, though it isn’t all-pervading - yet, old cookies. Very spritzy feel, quite grist-like slickness, medium bodied. YEP! Another one that desperately craves to be an Ersatz-Champagne, instead of being a good beer.
