21/07 RBESG Grand Tasting, 0.66 l bottle. It poured hazy pale yellow body with small head. Funky aroma of yeast and peaches. Very sour flavor, simple, but pleasant, shows lot of yeast, touch of fruitiness as well. Medium body with long tart finish. Utterly simple, but also very pleasant and dangerously drinkable.

21/07 RBESG Grand Tasting, 0.75 l bottle. That one poured slightly hazy, pink body with smaller pink hued head. Sourish aroma, a bit unpleasant puke note. Flavor was sour of course, some cherry, berries and vinegar. Thinner in body with long nice rounded sour finish. Not bad, showed lot of qualities in its sourness, but it was too simple for my taste and had unpleasant notes, especially in the aroma.

Bottle @ home. Pours a deep brown appearance with a moderate sized brown head. Fairly roasty, chocolate, spruce/piney, herbal, toasty aroma. A bit funky, light citrusy, mild pineapple, roasty dark malty, spruce, piney, fairly bitter flavor finishing with some bread, light citrus, and roast. I didn’t really get much (if any) brett characteristics outside of maybe a bit of citrus/tropical fruits, but it is a pretty interesting brew.

RBESG GT 2012. Looks like peach juice. Soft bretty, full aroma, with a shitload of... peaches. Guess whatt, that’s what you get in the taste as well, replacing the softness with a fine sourness and it’s damn good. A lovely balance between the juiciness and the acidity. This guy really knows what he’s doing!
