150ml pour from 2025 keg at Moeder Fontainas for Zwanze Day. Review entered from notes.

Pours brilliant purple, would call it dark purple if it wasn't sitting next to Piacere. Small dense head after settling. Smell is grapes and plums, tart unripe peaches. Taste is strong tartness, somewhere in between grapes and berries. Fruit skin must. Mouthfeel is dry, cottony, soft, smooth. Very nice.

 

Cellared 2 years. Garnett red body that is mostly clear with a pinkish head. Smells largely of vinous tones: red grape with pronounced skin, red wine, tannin laden oak, with minor tones of flowers, barnyard and wild funk, and dark cherry. Taste is more barrel funky and slightly musky, but make no mistake wine runs this. Feel is dry, oaky, mildly funky and pungent more than sour. A wine lovers lambic

A 750ml corked and capped bottle, opened and drank at the brewery, bottled 15th December 2023. Poured into a Cantillon tasting glass.

Appearance: A clear ruby red colour with a half finger slightly pinkish head that had good retention and left some nice lacing.

Aroma: Nice red wine vinous, grape skin, berry gummy notes, and wood.

Taste: Lightly sour, a touch funky, grape must, red wine vinous, berry cherry bits, and lemon zesty.

Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: Enjoyable and very easy drinking with nice vinous notes and lots of red fruit.

2021 bottle consumed 04/2022. Ruby red color. Pink head. Red grapes and red wine. Punchy. Oak, tannins. Dry. This is a very enjoyable new grape blend.
