Description
Long-time beer enthusiast, Stéphane Dumeynieu, a former teacher, has always worked hard for his favorite drink. The range of beers respects the "Nature & Progress" specifications. It is located in Graulhet, in the Tarn. Inventive, Stéphane Dumeynieu, does not hesitate to think outside the box, multiplying new aromatizations, or even working beers with very long guards, like the bubble of the vines.
Created in 2005, the brewery initially moved to Montans in a winemaker's cellar. This first installation makes it possible to "understand" the name of the Brasserie des Vignes. On Easter Day 2005, the brewery produced its first beer called "Bulles de Vignes", followed quickly by La Clandestine.

750ml bottle at Björn tasting. Thanks! Pours amber colored with a thin white head. Barnyard, earth, wood, dried apricots in aroma. Complex. Bit of vinegar. Flavor has strong woody notes, barnyard, green apples. This is hardcore stuff . Vinegar finish. Wow!

Bottle 750ml at Björns. Orange color, floating yeast, not much head. Cellary, gueze-like aroma. Medium-bodied. Real lambic wild yeasty, astrigent flavor. White wine, cellar, fruityness. Funky. Excellent. Like "real" geuze.

Draught at Trois 8, 4/24/15
Two-finger white head tops a lightly hazy, tangerine-hued golden body with light carbonation. Head retention is strong.
Soft hay, fresh herbs, pepper and honeyed malts provide a clean aroma with just a touch of playful yeastiness adding light mineral notes and a touch of acidity.
Fantastic, nearly silky texture is carried about by the ample carbonation, leaving pure malt honey flavors, fresh flowers and herbs and soft bitterness dancing about. Well-attenuated but still with enough malt to keep interest. Listed as a biere blonde at the bar, I would hold that it is indeed a blonde belgian ale, as there very little farmhouse character here (certainly no funk, and no brett that others speak of). Delightful though. What all the other awful Franco-Belgian Bieres Blondes should be. Actual malt flavor, complex hop character and no soulless, pumped-out feel to it.

Deep copper beer is fairly hazy with a small off-white head that fades quickly to cover.
Pungent nose shows white grape like acidity, honey mixed with vinegar and some strong cellar mustiness. There’s certainly acidity, but I’d say the mustiness dominates, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except that it almost smells slightly oxidized. Anyhow, it’s certainly unique with the vinous, chardonnay-like note adding a very intriguing element. No flaws or alcohol noted.
Sweet and sour immediately swirl about on the palate. The body is a solid medium with strong malt structure comforting the palate and providing honey and light caramel. Grape-like acidity, some light cheesy funkiness and plentiful acetic acid produce a rather powerful, yet not aggressive or unbalanced flavor profile. Moderate carbonation with maybe a touch too much sweet/sour flavor building up on the finish, but otherwise very enjoyable and easily drinkable.

Very thick hazy blonde color. Virtually no head at all. The nose is mildly sour with note of oak and marmalade in the nose. The mouth is mildly sour with lots of french oak and funkiness. Very interesting though could have been done better. As this beer warms, it takes like you are licking raw oak, which takes the rating down a bit.

Bottle shared at Levi’s tasting. My first French sour I believe. Very sour. Gritty texture and an orange color. Some yeast and fruit. I like this very much. The palate is unusual and the sourness is great.

Bottle at RBWG 2014. Pours a hazy orange gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of light funk notes, barrel and sour light fruits underlying. Flavor is sour through out with a bit of light fruit and a growing acid note that is slightly acetone in the finish.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks Dagan. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Nice funky aroma with sour fruits. Pleasant sour flavor, funky and fruity, a bit lemony. Medium-bodied. Really nice and refreshing.
