750ml capped & corked. Pouring deep ruby to pinkish head that lasts all way down glass. Berry (a variety that cheerfully admit never heard of before), fair amount of tannin, tart/sour. Not amongst my absolute favourite Cantillons have had but damned good.

Grand Cru Bruocsella Lambic Bio (2019-2020)
Last 750 ml bottle had of this was the 2015 in one of favourite Bruxelles bars, Poechenellekelder, back in 2019. Maybe not the same surrounding ambience but this vintage also superb. Bit less sour, but did dank rank rotting wood ever taste so good 😁?!

Much more like their Oude Kriek than the somewhat overly sweet basic Kriek commonly found in supermarkets.

375 ml corked bottle. The descriptor above is correct: very much about raspberry (present in abundance) rather than any Lambic aspect. Makes for a pleasant light summery beer; but one dimensional with not enough substance to be particularly interesting.

750 ml cap/cork, bottled 23/11/21. Seems to have gone from 5% to 7% c.6/7yrs ago. Not drunk earlier one so can't compare. Pours clear ruby red. Merlot grapes macerated months in Lambic then 2nd fermentation in bottle. Smooth, tart, vinous. God it's good!

Only had on draught before. This 37.5 ml bottled 30/03/22. Still extraordinary, but maybe could do with another year or two development in bottle to bring out full musty funk.

One tends to think of big ABVs with To Ol (especially when comes to Darks) so this a bit unusual. It's of decent enough construction without having much impact.

Oude Geuze Boon A L’Ancienne (2018-2019)
375ml corked bottle. Pours hazy amber to large fluffy white head. Smooth textured. Green apple & vinous aspects much mellower than expecting. Looking at other reviews there's lot of contrasting opinions. May depend on bottle's journey? This one was lovely

Pours hazy to large fluffy white head and decent body texture. Chinook, Ekuanot & Idaho 7 hopping padded out with papaya, guava & mango puree adjuncts.

Restrained Stout - relatively low ABV (for these days), coffee quite subtle rather than full on Espresso, fairly low carbonation. A pleasant enough easy drinker.

Peter, Pale and Mary Gluten Free
No idea how much differs in taste from gluten version as not had that. Pours slightly hazy golden to large fluffy white head. Malty, good body (oat flaked) & decently hoppy. Gluten free have moved on. Few years ago often felt odd in texture. Not now.

250 ml. Previous time had this see didn't comment or even score it (was in restaurant so maybe food turned up same moment or something). Light, slight acidity balancing cherry sweetness, tinge of oak. Prefer the Oude version but this is a fun beer.

Recall once commenting that, whether hitting, or occasionally missing, Mikkeller never produced boring. Since then they've started aiming to get on the supermarket shelves of course. Be overly harsh to say this one is boring, but it's fairly dull.

A light well hopped IPL. We both got touches of lychee and oriental spice, though admittedly neither is listed in beer description above. Very likable.

Weird Weather Non-Alcoholic Hazy IPA
Mikkeller's non-alcoholic version of their Weird Weather range of brews. Approaching 50 NA beers tried now and this, along with Tiny Rebel's Clwb Tropicana NA, the best so far. Actually tastes and feels like a 'proper' beer.

Mikkeller been putting lot of effort into developing and broadening its non-alcoholic / below 0.5% range. This is OK for that genre; though be hard pushed to register it as a Wheat beer if it hadn't said it was on the can.

Is 'New England' currently the vaguest (and most frequently misapplied) style around? When likes of Mikkeller come up with something like this does the style mean anything any more? Vaguely hazy, thin not juicy, bit of citrus not fruity... Disappointing.
