Khidr and the Fountain
Antidoot - Wilde Fermenten

Yields an amber colored beer with a soon vanishing small white head atop.

Offers aromas of dried apple chips, calcareous soil and fermented, sandy fruits among a prominent wooden barrel.

Has a light and refreshing body with a mineralic, lively carbonation, making this thirst quenching and complex at the same time.

Tastes of older blue cheese with the beer‘s prominent barrel presence converting from the nose onto the palate flawlessly by adding a funky basement character together with a vivid, lighter fruitiness. This initial complexity gets complimented by sweet and almost meaty turning fruits, heading into red wine territory together with lighter notes of rhubarb. Finishes with dried, spicy earth, smoky fig piths and a lighter layer of caramel, carefully blending into the soft tartness of this, wrapped up by a long lasting, well accentuated dryness.

This is certainly one of the most experimental beers I‘ve had so far and Antidoot did a good job at it. This is a very well balanced, pleasantly complex Lambic beer with an unusual sour-sweet twist to it, mellowed by the recognizable barrel in this. The flavors also produce a convincing, herbal dryness, which almost pushes a little to far, by overpowering the other components in this.
