Description
Local brewery in the Munster valley which offers mixed, wild or natural fermentation beers aged in barrels of Alsatian wines or spirits.

Launched in May 2021 by Sébastien, SPO gives pride of place to living beers aged in barrels. A real bias for this lover of natural beers with character, who has chosen to use only local barrels (Alsace): Pinot noir, Sylvaner, Alsatian spirits... A remarkable arrival in the small world of craft beer, thanks to perfectly made beers: original, balanced, dry, woody, acidic and rustic.

Transparant head, fast gone over clear golden beer. Bit dusty, but definitely citrus. Dry wood, citrusleaf. Peanuts and citrus, limeleaf. Arachide - fatty acids, quite present, disturbs a bit. Quite sour. Pretty fresh, tittilating, would be refreshing if not for the arachide. Bit slick, well-carbonated, light body. Nice citrus, but something is amiss here. Txs to Stef!

Очень интересный сизон с феста, много персиков и нектаринов, также есть белый виноград, но все же кислота ягодно фруктовая а не виноградная. Интересно.

(Draught at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 19 Oct 2024) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, herbal nose with notes of liquorice, flowers and wood. Fruity, herbal taste with gentian root, liquorice, herbs, a touch of wood and a serious bitterness from the gentian root. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Interesting, with a rich and bitter gentian character. Nice one.
