COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We made this beer for BXL fest 2020, unfortunately cancelled due to a certain pandemic. We are still proud to release this beer as part of their exclusive beer package and hope to see you all in 2021 in Brussels. Manneken Vis is a farmhouse ale with a mix of our house saison blend and the mudking yeast/bacteria culture. We added fresh elderflowers, which our entire team picked in and around Utrecht. The result is refreshing slightly sour and funky beer with summery aromas of the flowers and character of the yeast.

tiong (13617) - Espoo, FINLAND - SEP 11, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 11, 2021 750ml bottle. Funky, farmyardy and slightly mineral with some floral notes, citrus, elderflower, tart bretta notes, lemon and grape notes, hints of sourness. Okay, surprisingly complex but a bit stuffy.

Alengrin (9649) - Gent, BELGIUM - NOV 25, 2020
UPDATED: NOV 25, 2020 Special ‘Brussels’ farmhouse ale by Kromme Haring flavoured with elderblossom, 75 cl bottles made exclusively for the BXL Beerfest, which was cancelled this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Medium sized, off-white, irregularly lacing, opening head on a lightly hazy straw blonde beer with golden to pale greenish hue and lively fizz, cloudy with sediment. Aroma of indeed elderblossom but in a very fresh and flowery way (without that typical cooked-meaty aspect I normally get from it), green apple, damp straw, kiwi, lime, something sulfuric (freshly struck match), parsley, sourdough, cucumber, white grape, chamomile, cava, light sweaty touch. Crisp, fruity onset, sourish lime-like effect but in a very elegant, gentle way, lots of green apple, hints of gooseberry, pear and white grape, lively but refined carbonation, supple body; continuing ‘fruity’ sourishness through a white-bready and cereally malt base, aromatized by the elderblossom, again very flowery and genuine, and a bit spicy; the ‘green’ sour-sweetish fruitiness keeps refreshing everything, also when a bready yeast effect shows up, while hops remain limited to a vague background bitterishness and allow the fruitiness and floweriness to fully blossom. Very elegant, refreshing, spring-like ‘bière d’apéritif’, almost a beery equivalent of German Maitrank or a fruity sparkling wine. Lovely testimony of this brewery’s skills, one of Holland’s very best in my opinion.

davidezdonz (1514) - Hong Kong, HONG KONG - OCT 2, 2020
UPDATED: OCT 2, 2020 A 750ml bottle from the 2020 BXL beer pack, with a best before date of end of August 2025. Poured into a Holy Mountain tulip glass. It poured a hazy golden straw yellow colour, with a two finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly, while leaving only sparse spotty lacing. Aromas tart, sour, lemon zest, peach, floral, elderflower, lightly funky, with peppery spice notes. Tastes sour, tart, citrusy, lemon, lemon zest, light funk, elderflower, and light pepper spice. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall sour notes dominate, with a good balance of lemon and elderflower flavours. Very enjoyable and refreshing.

Taste: Moderate to over moderate tart, floral and fruity elderflowers and elderberries, Elderberries mostly at the finish. Clearly present yet subtle wild yeast funk. Moderate to over moderate fruity bitterness. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Nice refreshing and fruity Saison / Wild Ale.

UPDATED: SEP 29, 2020 26-09-20 // Happy Zwanze Day 2020 at Mon Petit Café, Stuttgart. Bottle, shared. Thanks! The elderflower is sublte. A nice farmhouse funk and graininess. Flowery yes, but also herbal. Spicy.
