Commercial Description:
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.

Bottle. Golden, slightly hazy with a thin white head. Wonderful fruity aroma of pineapple and kiwi, supporten by notes of earth and some acid. Good mouthfeel, medium-low carbonation. Dry and a little acidic. Very fruity and complex. Though it is not bitter, it not sweet either. I could drink many Struiselensis. A masterpiece.

Tasted shortly after Cantillon Kriek which was so sour that my tastebuddy had to give up on it. Clear golden with a rich white head. Aroma of citrus tart berries and barnyard. Flavor is medium acidic and seem like a good beer to serve for a sour beginner. Again with lots of citrus and some wet horse.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a fizzy white head. Aroma of light malts, lemon, fruit, and a hint of tartness. Flavor is sour and tart with lemon zest, yeast, earthy hops, and a touch of citrus. medium body with a tart and dry finish.

Bottled. Very light in body, peachy, lacto. Some fresh dough, some granny smith apples. The body is quite lovely and this is easy drinking, though there is a muddy note towards the finish that is a bit odd. Very reminiscent of a good berliner weisse. Nicely done stuff here. Definitely not an ager.
