75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Misty pale yellow appearance, not much of a head. Crisp, flickering fruity nectarine, not hugely prominent.. gentle acidity.. tangy linger. Nice.

Bottle shared at Brewver Belgian Winter Gathering. Light pinkish-yellow color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are very pleasantly sour fruity, nectarines, unripe mandarins, but very nicely balanced imo. I really like this one. 8-8-8-9-8,5

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Pours gold with a light mist, pure white head. Aroma is herbal, gently spicy, wild air. Crisp sourness with a layered wild complexity, spicy moments with a noticeable juniper sweetness, tart fruity acidity. Like it.

Can. Near clear paleish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and has a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, sweet enough. The combo of Nelson and Hallertau Blanc deliver good white grape with a touch of white wine, the combo delivering a good portion of what Nelson used to do solo. Light bright citrus. A mild bitterness and a modest hop spice nip on the crisp finish. Very nicely done, very good hoppage makes for a well charactered dipa.

Bouteille 75cl, BB 14/08/2025 batch # P430.
Couleur léger pale avec un voile discret – col blanc fin peu tenace.
Arôme est frais avec un caractère barrique – funk assez marqué le tout sur de fins effluves de vin – fruité de la nectarine perce en rétro-nasal.
Palais est léger – je trouve cette version plus sur le funk par rapport aux autres versions de la Belle-Dame. L’apport de la nectarine apporte aussi son lot de note acidulée le tout verse un peu sur un effet de pêche/abricot. Le tout reste dans la lignée de La Source avec une acidité maîtrisée eyt léger avec ses 4%.
