27 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke. Cheers to Ama Deke, Erwin, John & Meeki!
Clear golden, lasting, small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of apple, white grapes, sourdough, soap, lactic acid, yoghurt, lemon. Taste is medium fruity sweet, lots of unripe apple & apricot, lemony & lactic accents wrapped up in a yeasty & sourdough-like character; bready malts mingle with bitter tones of white grape & fruit rinds. Dry, tart, earthy hoppy finish, lingering wood, lactic acid & yellow fruit. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Surprisingly well-made Sour Ale, components connecting elegantly.

The wine barrel aged version of a blonde sour ale - quite the modern and ambitious approach, didn't see that coming from this brand. At ZBF, thanks Johan for sharing. Thinnish, opening, egg-white, mousy head on a misty, warm 'old gold' coloured beer. Pleasantly fruity aroma of dry white wine, cooked apple, yoghurt, clear wet oak (vanilla!), raw pineapple, gooseberry jam, sweaty leather. Very estery onset, sweet pineapple, gooseberry and white grapes with a thin lemony acidity and a deeper but softer, more sedate lactic tartness, a bit yoghurty (Bifidobacter indeed converts glucose into lactic acid - and I bet sour yoghurt was effectively used in this beer, and its basic version, to create the sourness); softly and pleasantly bready malt 'soil', medium carbonation, leading to a drying finish in which oaky tannins and persisting yoghurty sourness meet a peppery accent (probably of fermentative nature), woody tannins and a 'grapey' white wine aspect. Too bad I didn't get to comparing this with its basic version, which is now definitely on my want list, because contrary to what I was expecting and compared with other 'simple' yoghurt-soured beers I had before, this is delicious, modern (Belgian alright but U.S.-inspired as well), well-balanced, complex and still accessible and easily drinkable all at once. Genuinely beautiful sour, let's hope Pêtre Devos further elaborates on this theme.

Dark golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have a nice mix of sweet and sharp fruits. Light woody perfume. Pleasantly tart.
