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.

Nice light color belgian sour ale which was refreshing on a warm summers beer festival. The sour notes were subtle enough to not be overwhelming for a belgian beer fan but was alittle too much for a normal american beer drinker (not me!).

330 ml bottle from Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Light fruity aroma with a hint of sour. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is lightly sour with light stone fruit flavors. Seems a bit grapey. Very light funk in the finish. Quite astringent. Very pleasant.

Dark yellow colored with cloudy appearance. Little vanishing white head. Sweet-sour lemony aroma with apricot and berries also. Medium bodied. Flavor is drier with wooden lemon dominating, sour palate indeed. Well, goes along with Foufoune I just had.

Dark gold in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of grapple, funk, and a bit of lemon. More tart than sour in the mouth, with a more focused green apple flavor and a bit of surgary sweet malt. A bit watery and flat, but the tartnes makes up for a bit of the lack of carbonation. Not too bad, but I was expecting more.

Crushed with Jakebra in celebration of Obama winning. So excited to get this. Damn. Smells like a old man took a bath in some white wine. Very musky yet appealing at the same time. Sour grape flavor fades into a very crisp, dry, fantastic finish. Sexy brew.

Golden amber. Steady carbonation but just a thin ring of head. Sour salty scent. A hint of sweetness before the sourness hits in the mouth. Unfortunately the sourness seems to fade and be a little quiter and thinner than expected.
