650ml bottle at Erik's. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is fruity, barrel, some slight cherries. Taste is similar with some sweet notes, cherries, slight acetone, and barrel notes. Quite good.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden bronze with a small white head. Aroma brings out light oak, some wild yeast, and moderately tart fruits. Flavour is somewhat complex, with a nice oaky character upfront, some wild yeast, and tart stone fruits. Nice wild yeast character, with a stone fruity finish. Pretty good, especially compared to the last trainwreck from these guys.

Light amber. Touch of chill haze. There's a lactic note, and a light fruit character. On the palate, more of a sharper lactic note, with a touch of brett towards the finish, and a mild stone fruit accent as well. Finishes with a bit of barrel to balance some of the lactic.

650 ml bottle. Pours a red/copper color with little head. Aromas of wood and vinegar. Flavors follow same - oak and balsamic vinegar with light malts. A light Oud Bruin. Reminds me of the bird of prey series.

473mL can, pours a cloudy dull yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out light saison yeast, gentle earth and a hint of bready malts. Flavour is very laid back, with light saison yeast, and earthy bready malt. A bit bitter, but pleasantly so, with a dry, bready malt finish. It's very light, but in the sense of having barely any character. Drinks like water. Underwhelming.

Bouteille(11.6%, 650ml, vendange 2012, merci joss!): Literally black - what else? - with a small tanned and stable layer, robust bitter-sweet aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate with traces of tobacco(?), vanilla and mild wood in the background; solid - as expected - sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied and astonishingly soft; lingering sweet-bitter fruity-roasty finish with wanilla and vood and a warming port-vinous finish. A very pleasant night-cap...

Draft - Light Lemongrass. Cloudy pale yellow with almost no head. Touch of lemon, bready and a bitter finish. Bitterness overwhelms for a light beer.
