(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Thomas_E. Slightly hazy, pale golden with a small, white head. There’s a vague, tart Brett nose. Medium body - well, perhaps even a little watery, only moderately sour although you do indeed sense the usual Brett and horse blanket characteristics. Quite OK, but not as complex as blended Gueuzes. 280907

Cuvée 1996, Bottled 1998, 8 years old
As promised, it's almost flat, looks like wort in the beginning, but gently forms a thin white cap; golden color. The usual wonderful aroma; sour and sweet, light fruitness and flowers; very light nitrates. Very nice the mouthfeel, lacking almost completely of carbonation; the resulting smoothness helps to more easily stand the sourness; strong grapefruit and pink grapefruit, young woods as well. Quite bitter. You should not miss this one!
