Vignerrone (2024)

The vinegar profile is real here. Welcoming to sip, relatively muted on the scale

60 Minute IPA

Dogfish while listening to Steven a smith at the four seasons. Not bad.

Resting Brew Face

Creamier than most if not all the beers I’ve had this trip. Sweet citrus

Kriek 100% Lambic Bio (2023)

Possibly my last beer of the year so going out with a classic, thanks to jt

Toøl-ator Helles Bock

Bock on the bullshit. Caramel, lightly sweet

45 Days Rice Lager

Malty water tbh

60 Minute IPA

Modern classic, left hand side as I go from clear to cloudy

Saint Lamvinus (2021)

Bought from the source. Toasting the long weekend with the tart and fizzy red wine grape

Nath (2022)

Tart rhubarb hits different after a hot summer day. Carbonation is well balanced and v drinkable

Cahoots

Oaty creaminess in body, citrus fruit, slight haze

Public Consumption

Dark colour, tick pineapple but doesn’t overwhelm with sickliness or stewiness

Solar Flare

Fruit blush, slight haze

Gueuze (2021)

Very lemony, dry with a nice carbonated fizz bringing the acidity

Orbital Movement Hazy Ipa

Fruity tropical blush, some hazy aftertaste

Rosé de Gambrinus

Fizzy raspberry, dry and lightly acidic

Single Barrel 1-Year Lambic

Sweeter than the full thing

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio

Dry, with a sharp fizziness

Camerise (2021)

Big tart cranberry

120 Minute Ipa (2022)

Big sweet sticky fruit, prunes soaked in booze with the booze really sticking in the aftertaste

Game of Thrones - Iron Anniversary IPA

Very peachy. Light and drinkable. Art better than the beer.

Oude Geuze Boon

Another first time. Fizzy, slightly tart. Light taste, it’s more the texture

Trading Places

Chewy tropical beer - sweet rather than bitter. More smooth than complex

Oculus Orbus

Nicely balanced - sweet orange and mango hit up front and a dank piney finish

Saint Lamvinus

Red grape - feels wrong to drink out of a plastic glass

Rosé de Gambrinus (2020)

All about the raspberry. Sweet but sour

Single Barrel 2 Year Lambic

Lighter than others in the range but retains the vinous smell and tartness

Fou' Foune

Still top tier. The apricot and lemon absolute zing - so much intensity in a 5% abv

Camerise Lambic (2020)

Nicely tuned for me - a little sweet, a little sour, a little dry, a little tart

Vigneronne (2020)

Abrasive smell at first but settles in. Vinous and dry, but with a popping herby aftertaste

Magic Lambic (2020)

Lots of raspberry and blueberry, vanilla layer and a fizzy sour aftertaste

Nath (2020)

Subtle and complex but still absolutely smashable. Light rhubarb with a little spice
