Last of the Belg-a-Rama #5 beers, the second from De Proef, this a collaboration between two brewers, hence the name, in French Les Deux Brasseurs, "the two brewers", and they are Dirk Naudts of De Proef Brouwerih and Jason Perkins from Allagash Brewing of Maine. "A Golden Ale fermented with multiple strains of Brettanomyces yeast." Well. Let's dive right in there.
Lightly hazed, glorious bright golden hue, gorgeous, lacy white head. Very promising.
Aroma: A little spice, a little fruit, with a twist of funk. Rather quiet, beyond that.
Tasting it: wild and funky at first crazy texture, dry and spicy, lean bodied, tasty fruit character, peach and citrus fruit, a little honey. Extra-ordinarily well-integrated, beautiful balance, soft, slightly sweet, terrifically drinkable. Brett plays a minor role in this one, gives just a little tickle.
Altogether, a delicious, complex, and very rewarding brew. Twist of this, twist of that, add that up to mmmm.
