Can bought at Blas ar Fwyd, Llanrwst. Dark and glossy. Mahoosive foamy beige head. Aroma has milky coffee and porridge. Flavourwise it then ramps things up, combining espresso, liqourice and dark tangy berries. Bitter and chewy with a sour edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff.

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a deep pink, largely clear unless you got a little of the gunk at the bottom. Excellent fruitiness from the berries.. unexpected sharp wild side that subsides somewhat towards the end.. not much saison expression, but a lovely fruity beer offering a nice chuckleberry showcase.

Bottle shared at BBGG. Bit hazy very dark pink. Massive fruit with red currants, cassis and raspberry. Light earthy, grapes, soft peppery, maybe a hint of malt but it's mostly fruit. Medium sweet and sour. Solid medium body.

Bouteille 75cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Matt.
Au-delà de l’histoire passionnante d’ouvrir ce genre de brasserie au milieu de nul part, le produit en lui-même était une vraie pépite.
Couleur ambre-cuivre, col fin crémeux rosâtre léger, le tout avec pas mal de sédiments flottants dans la bouteille.
Arôme sur un bouquet frais fruité – ici, cette baie brille par sa profondeur de caractère – le bouquet est tenace – sur des baies sauvages rendant tout de même une petite acidité rappelant la groseille et le cassis.
Palais sur une belle charge de baies sauvages – cela donne une vraie profondeur à la bière tout en apportant une note finement acidulée. Ce fruit donne une belle sensation hybride entre la groseille, le cassis et la groseille à maquereau – tout en ayant une tenue de bouche d’un fruits noirs assez présent en fin de bouche ressort une belle base maltée – une bière que je trouve plus dans les lignes d’une farmhouse américaine qu’une saison.

Can bought at Blas ar Fwyd, Llanrwst. Slightly opaque copper gold. Foamy head. A tad translucent. Aroma is chewy, malty. Sweet influenced citrusy edge. A tad metallic. Flavourwise it's tangy citrus led. Quite tart. Even vinous. Underlying malts. And then more tang. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Chalky residue. Soft-flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Punchy Pils. Potentially a tad too punchy.
