Bottle from Le Soupir pack 2025. Color: Lightly hazy amber, off-white head. Aroma: Malty, Brett, hints of peat. Taste: Mix of peat, leathery Brett, malt, some oak wood, hints of floral hop and dark dried fruit. Light to moderate tartness and light sweetness. Nice one, personally I prefer this one above the (more complex) red grape macerated version (Part Two).

Bottle. Gusher. Color: Hazy pale yellow-ish golden, white head. Aroma: Wheat, vinuous, some tartness, hoppy notes. Taste: Nice blend of wheat malt, hop, citrus and stone fruit notes, some white wine, some oak wood and funk. Light to moderate tartness, finishing very dry with over moderate bitterness. Just below medium body, below average carbonation. Nice complexity. Typical Le Soupir: Quite low in alcohol, not your average kind of beer, full of taste and a lot of flavours to explore. Very nice.

Bottle from Le Soupir pack 2025. Color: Hazy orangish brown, thin off-white head. Aroma: Malty, caramel, some red fruit, vinuous notes, caramel, hints of peat and Brett funk. Taste: Complex mix of peat, caramel malt, red grapes, subtle leathery Brett funk, oak wood, red fruit, floral hop. And I feel like I'm doing the complexity of this beer no justice yet with this description. On the other hand, it's not an Old Ale like I tasted any time before. Moderate sweet, some vinuous tartness and moderate to over moderate bitterness. Nice complex one.
