Good, just lightly yellowish head over fully hazy pale yellow beer. Asafoetida, hint of benzene (sake-like), yellow fruit and citrus, citruspeel, and ureum in the finish. Bitter, almost tart flavour, really dry and even dusty, chalk. Yellow raisins without the sweetness. Almost dry-out effect, good carbonation, quite slick. On for the sugarhaters. Txs to Stef!

Small, fast dwindling whitish head; metallic chromate yellow beer. Mineral, bit of cedar or cypress, and then indeed mirabelles, yellow plums. Plums, mirabelles, with a remaining sweetness. Again somewhat mineral, but hardly acidic - certainly for a Gose. There is a light sourishness backthroat after swallowing. Quite slick, not more than medium bodied, soft carbonation. Sweet for a Gose, if certainly nice. Txs to Stef!

Small white head over glass-adhesive bubbled metallic golden beer. Honeyish pale malts, floral, hints of lactic and other mild acids; stonefruit, yellow fruit, peach. Stonefruit, again a tad honeyish; soft, mild acidity, fruity, floral, lactic and a bit earthy too. Light body, medium carbonation, slick, slowly diminishing aftertaste. Nice.

Draught Dense, whipped cream head, lacey, over clear, slightly darker golden beer. Very nice grapey nose, muscat grape, citruspeel, lime. Aromatic, rosewater, if demure. Sweetish, fine greenery, greenmalt, again demure and gradually loosing flavour, so that the finish is almost sparkling water with a used tea- sorry -maltbag. Very light, very well-carbonated and a light malty aftertaste. Just OK, but the nose promised more.

Small, pale-pink head over veiled foxy-orange beer, lively carbonated. A 'foxy'nose, indeed as pelt; fruity, red/pink fruit or berries, and indeed like wild fruit - as lingonberries (which are called "fox berries" in Dutch), and something as lightly cinnamoned cookies. Quite acidic, if with a 'wild' flavour, almost bitterish, thanks to the lingons. Lactic, light-lemony, faraway barnyard flavours, white pepper. And raspberry-ish. Very spritzy, light body txs to acidthinning, dry-out effect. Excellent - original. This fruit just loves the lambic.

Very good, just off-white head over veiled ochre-golden beer, lively carbonated. Horseblanket, shellfish, mineral, farmyard, sour apples, lemonpeel. And, if you think on it, indeed whiskey. Fresh lemony/lactic gueuze with faint lemonpeel, lactic acid, green apples, horseblanket. Yuzu or other exotic citrus, white wood. Sharp, but not agressive. Lipsmacking acidity, dry-out effect. Very well-carbonated. Really good gueuze, but I find the whiskey pretty hidden.
Sloefmans (15519) reviewed Solarti Gevra from Straete Brouwerie 3 weeks ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5
No head, almost clear, darker cognac-coloured beer. Nutty, walnuts, some chocolate, nut-chocolate wafers, faintly fusely. Cognac-like, old nuts, X-mas cake, whiskey. Must have been a large angels' part. Utterly undercarbonated, serious alcoholthinning, almost no alcoholburn. Not bad, but feels a bit tired. Moreover, I'm wondering a tad about the claimed ABV, certainly doesn't feel thàt hot. Solarti is Italian for sunny, but what in heavens does gevra means? Afrikaans? Txs to Stef!
