Pours clear, dark brown, red glow. Medium sized stable creamy white head. Scent is velpon, wood, mild dark malts, minor fruity touch. Taste is sharp, very tart, high ( too high ) carbo. Mild velpon. Lactic acid, touch (very mild) acetic. Decent, but a bit 'hollow' under the high carbonation. More dry than the average oud bruin .

Gushing to light brownish cream head, thick, over dark brown beer with copperish rim. Lactic nose, sourish, with chcocolate, diary, vinous, old wet wood, dark grapes, balsamico. Sweet-sour, in the best Flemish Oud Bruin way. Lots of lactic acid, but buffered by the dark malts. Fruity esters' galore, grapey, and some earthy notes. Surprisingly well-bodied for an Oud Bruin (sour). Very good carbonation, slick to oily. Prime quality Oud Bruin, pity about the gushing. Txs to Stef!

2023 Blend Medium to good just off-white head over well-carbonated orangeish golden beer. Orangerind, citrus, and Bretts. Lactic acid, horseblanket, lemonaroma growing. Hints at leathergrease. Lemon, horseblanket, farmyard. Citruspeel, green fruits, green kiwifruit, green banana. Lipsmacking acidity, dry-out effect, acidthinning and light -burn. Good carbonation. Excellent! Lambic quality without being it. In my experience, the very first bifidus beer.

Bottle at Zythos 2023. Pours a dull amber with light head. Aromas of stoned fruit, tart berries and toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional grapes and more berries. Not getting much wine influence but still very nice.

Bottle at Zythos 2023. Pours a deep reddish mahogany with light head. Soft aromas of plum and balsamic vinegar with red berries and malts. Flavors of earthy red berries, plums, a little oaky Chardonnay and doughy malts. Soft. Very nice.
Nice! Very young... Will get more compex with some age. Maybe they should have left it in the barrel a little longer.
