Thnx to Bart. Pours pink, small white head. Smell is super-jammy, raspberry. Extremely nice ! Taste is sharp, tart, dry, sour. Bit too sharp, acidic, straight forward. The fruit has been used in an amazing way here, but the basebeer could be improved to make this beer world-class.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with light retention and limited lacing. Aroma of sour notes with light hibiscus with some light acidic notes also noticeable. Taste is also a mix of tart notes with light oak, some hibiscus with tart fruits notes and medium acidity is also noticeable at the end. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but acidity is more upfront than expected and hides some of the other flavours.

Bouteille de 750 ml. Un olfactif très acidulé rappelant la vieille ferme mais avec notes complémentaires de groseilles et de fruits noirs. Brune, aux reflets orange sanguine, avec une mousse de taille moyenne, éphémère et extrêmement pétillante. Un bon fruité aux accents de mures se joint à une acidité extrême en entrée de bouche. Un petit salé rappelant les goses accompagne son aspect vinaigré, vineux et boisé. Ça rappelle beaucoup les brunes de Flandres. Un corps mince et une carbonation vive. Acidité trop marquée par rapport aux autres saveurs; ce qui nuit à la complexité.

Bouteille de 750 ml. De traditionnelles notes fermières en olfactif avec notes de petits fruits, de citron, de groseilles. Un liquide doré orangé, très flou, avec une mousse effervescente qui dure à peine quelques secondes. L'entrée de bouche en acidité tranchante nous dévoile une panoplie de lactobacilles aux tons de citron, de petits fruits, de vinaigre et un certain coté salé qui rappelle étrangement les Goses. On peut y percevoir également un petit boisé de barrique qui vient donner un élément de complexité additionnel. L,indice de buvabilité est extrême. Le potentiel rafraîchissant absolu.

(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Apr 20/18) Pours a lightly hazed peach colour with a small white ring of head. Notes of biting citrus-laced lactic acidity with a touch of fruited vinegar, counterbalanced by smooth floral perfume notes, a bit of tart berry/cherry quality, dusting of dry funk, minerals, and a little hint of wood towards the back, but finishes with some clear sourness and maybe a little crabapple. Light to medium body, a bit slick, effervescent. Smooth and complex, deft handling of the additions, a nice surprise. Small Pony's showing real promise on the basis of their first few beers.
