De Proef LoeFluur

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Ale
Lochristi, Belgium

Pours a cloudy brown/red under a half inch white/yellow head. The nose is sourness with tart apple notes. First taste is the sour and light funk, but immediately has a big sweet taste under it to the point that sweet figs and fruit dominate. Second taste the fruit flavors aren’t so sweet and tend to be just a more ripe fruit flavor. There is a sweet caramel flavor that returns and runs just under the fruit flavors. With each taste the flavors shift and trade places, but remain sour, apple, pear, dates and figs and carmel. Mouth feel is smoother than the more astringent sours because of the underlying sweetness, but it does finish dry enough to make this a truly good drinking experience.

Creamy amber color with long lasting belgian lace, fragrant aroma of tart cherries and funky wild notes, sweet malty body with subtle funk flavors, very soft bitters in very small amounts, cherries and raisins and other tart dark fruit flavors, definite brett flavors though not very developed, could have stood to age this bottle for another 6 months to bring out more horse barn flavors, sours are very evident though, quite acidic though not puckering, tart lambic finish, very dry and drinkable, an excellent flemish ale
