This blonde and slight sour ale is the result of a research combining Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Pediococus Cerivisae from Wyeast and some skills out of the Wild Woesten.
Special beer by Struise as a tribute to Lembeek brewers.

330 ml bottle from tjthresh. Pour is hazed orange amber with fine carbonation and a 1/2 inch dirty white head. Aroma of tart sour citrus sweetness. I get strawberries too. Mostly the nose is about the wild yeasty sourness. After a bit, the strawberry turns to bubble gum. Taste is an all out acidic tart attack. Makes my mouth water a ton. Mid palate, this softens out a bunch into ripe pineapple tart sweetness. Not as much Brett in the taste, I am sure that will develop a bunch more. The carbonation is evident, very bubbly. The finish is more of the tart and very moist. Well executed beer, I enjoyed this a bunch. Thanks for sharing this Tom!

Pours golden with thin white head. Aroma of brett and sour apples. Taste is sour with mild notes of spices. Not big on sours but this was pretty good.

pour lightly hazed and muted golden with a thin white head...smell is strongly funky with brett, wood, horesblanket, faint cherry sweetness...thin mouthfeel...there is some funk but not particularly sour...some bandaid, lightly sweet malty flavor, and a light sourness..

Bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour withy a medium mostly diminishing white head. Nice soft sour and fruity aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good sourness with fruits. Short biiterness in the sour finish. Nice different mild sour Belgian Ale.

Small 330ml bottle from Bruisin Ales in Asheville, NC. Aroma is very acidic, fruity and nice. Flavor is disappointingly chalky, very acidic(and I like gueuzes and lambic)- a bit like sucking on an ascorbic acid vitamin C tablet. The fruity smells aren’t present as much in the flavor.Body a bit thin. Was a bit disappointed in this one- wouldn’t buy again but would drink if presented to me.
