Description
Alvinne is a 1200hl microbrewery in Flanders, Belgium. It has become an official brewery in 2004 and is located in the village of Moen, at the edge of the Mortagne touristic area and in the area where the historic breweries of the old Flemish Brown beerstyle are situated.
Their own yeast strain is called ‘Morpheus’ and was the reason to start experimenting with mixed fermentation, resulting in sour ales. Alvinne’s main mission is now to create innovative sour beers through a new style of Flemish blond sours by using the mixed fermentation method. You could call it the missing link between Oud Bruin and Lambic. Because of this, Alvinne has gained international attention and respect.
We already experimented with over 30 different kinds of fruits, herbs, plants, berries, flowers and vegetables. Next to the sour range, Alvinne has an interesting beer list that were aged on carefully selected used barrels, such as Cognac, Porto, Sherry, Calvados, Brandy, Red Wine and White Wine. Since 2018, we have started our own Membership “Alvinne’s Fellowship Of Exceptional Ales” to give our core fans the priority to get hands on our very exclusive and limited beers.

Аромат винный, немного кислый, много ягод, немного сухофруктов и сливы особенно, ощущается алкоголь. Цвет темный, а точнее темный красный с коричневыми оттенками. Пены нету вообще. Вкус к сожалению очень уксусный. Хотя винные нотки хорошо чувствуются. Снова много винограда и сливы. Послевкусие с весьма сильной кислинкой. Уже немного квашенных яблок. Также какая то странная очень уксусная горчинка в конце.

Аромат очень приятный, как будто ощущается как фруктовый ламбик на стероидах. Прежде всего много малины, очень схож на ягодный холодный морсик, немного ежевики и красной смородины, вишня есть но очень мало и без косточек. Цвет немного светлее чем я думал, бледно розовый, пенка ультратонкая но очень стойкая. Вкус ядерно кислый, уже много малины и сами ягоды ощущаются более глубоко. Лимонная кислота едва ли не сводит лицо и его мимику. При глотке все же ощущается вишня, но снова без косточки, смородина тоже на месте а также их листья. Сухое в целом послевкусие, немного мятное. В общем очень хороший но до боли классический кислячок.

Аромат сразу просто бомбический и очень уникальный. Какие то ягоды, типа крыжовника смешанные с белой и красной смородиной, немного сладости от специй каких то легких, кислота от лимона и как будто юзу, намеки на цитрусов. Цвет темно желтый, пенка липкая, средняя. Вкус очень питкий и такой же приятный как запах. Снова ягоды, в основе юзу и крыжовник, немного белой смородины. В названии какой то ревень, я не знаю что это то ноты овощные он дает. Послевкусие с весьма сильной кислотой, она медленно убывает, но остаётся немного на языке. Какие то лимонные нотки снова. В общем очень круто и питко при этом. Неожиданно.

Bottle from Slijterij Groningen. Gusher alert! Aroma is a bit fruity with gooseberries, stone fruits, citrus, light malt. Soft herbal notes with a hint of funk. Mild lactic sourness with a light bitterness. Light body, but that's to be expected. Pleasant, but a bit mild overall.

Bottle from Slijterij Groningen. Tart fruity aroma with raspberries, stone fruits, some vinegar, vanilla, peach, citrus, fruit yoghurt. Sour taste with a little sweetness from the vanilla. Medium body. I wouldn't want Alvinne to hop on board that vanilla/icecream sour bandwagon, generally speaking, but this one displays plenty of classic Alvinne characteristics.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. As Alvinne Balthazar Vintage Recipe Serie. Aroma is spicy with dark malt, some roast, cardamom, touch of ginger, winter spices, caramel. Flavour is sweet with a fairly bitter conclusion. Medium body. Bittersweet and spicy, not generally my kind of beer, but this one's pleasant.
