Bottle. Color: Clear golden to orange amber, large off-white head. A lot of tlny carbonation bubbles coming up in the glass. Aroma: Tart and sweet, ood, fruity unripe white grapes and berries, funky hints. Taste: Over moderate tart, light to moderate sweet, vinegar notes, quite some oak wood, sour apples and berries, lemon notes, hints of lemon peel. Subtle wild yeast funk. Tannins, Dry-ish mouthfeel at finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Never before had a 'blond Flemish Red'... Well balanced, refreshing, nice complexity. Nice one.

Tan-cream head, small, over cola coloured beer. Shards of lace from rather stable head. Lactic acid in wood a mile out. Quite a point of acetic acid too, and quite vinous, fruity. Red fruit and lots of sweetness, compared to the nose. Cherrychocolate/pralines. Again vinous in character, laden with fruit/acids. Tart, serious dry-out effect and acidthinning. Good carbonation. De facto, excellent (West)Vlaams Oud Bruin. NB this beer constitutes a total novelty - as the front label claims 6% ABV, whilst the backlabel only delivers 5.2% Remarkable. Thanks to Stef!
