Sample from jerrycan at Carnivale Brettanomyces 2025, h.ertie blending workshop. Didn't take many notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. What I do remember: 3 months old. Hazy. Malty, light tartness, some (yeasty?) bitterness. Dry. Definitely needs more time.

a small bottle, caged and corked, purchased from the brewery, and drunk at Dad’s place while home on holiday. Aroma: not especially sour, but the funk is there. Appearance: semi-opaque dark amber, orange-tinged lacing. Palate: medium-bodied and tart, quite lively carbonation; finish is long, complex and well-balanced, rather chewy. Taste: sour flavour is predominant though understated, some sweet notes. Fresh yeast, rice wine, a lick of old belt. Great palate on this one, feels like having eaten something nutritious.

NL/BEL excursion day 8: a small bottle, caged and corked, purchased from the brewery, and drunk in the courtyard of A. de J. ‘Generation Europe’ in Brussels. Aroma: complex and inviting, 70s era homebrew meets canned plums. Appearance: clear bronze, no head to speak of. Palate: light-bodied and tart, average carbonation; long and complex finish, ending on a dry note. Taste: lightly sweet with understated sour notes, very well balanced. Background flavour of fresh yeast. Not so funky, but I really liked the sherry-like kick.

NL/BEL excursion day 8: a small bottle, caged and corked, purchased from the brewery, and drunk in the courtyard of A. de J. ‘Generation Europe’ in Brussels. Aroma: it smells just like vin de table. Appearance: clear Ribena, had dissipates in a jiffy. Palate: light-bodied and tart, rather soft carbonation; finish is pretty dry. Taste: lightly sweet, the sour flavour remains in the background; well-balanced. Pretty strong cherry flavour, a not unpleasant taste of fresh yeast in the background. I really enjoyed this one, I felt it was nutritious and doing me good.
