BARREL-AGED WILD ALE WITH DAMSON PLUMS

🇬🇧 A new take on an old beer. The first edition of Gekwetst was issued in 2015 under our old name Katjelam and contained mirabelle plums. This new 2019 version is quite different, which is why we made a new entry for this beer.

🇳🇱 Gekwetst is een wijnachtig bier met een uitgesproken fruitkarakter. Deze tweede batch bevat maar liefst vier keer zoveel pruimen als de vorige en heeft malse, sappige zuren.
In de geur vind je snoepjes en steenfruit, terwijl de afdronk juist droog en licht bitter is. Ondanks de lange houtrijping van 21 maanden heeft Gekwetst geen sterk houtkarakter, waardoor de focus op het fruit blijft. Een aanrader voor mensen die Fabel lekker vonden. Gekwetst is afkomstig van een enkel vat, de oplage is zeer gelimiteerd.

Batch #2, 6.4%. Dirty golden color. Oak, plums and vinous notes in the aroma. Just a touch of sourness. Lots of oak, plums and a hint of vanilla. Not without complexity, and a very nice beer indeed.

Botttle. Aged for 21 months on single oak barrel. Batch #2, bottled 16th of apri 2020. Bottle number 185 of 435. Color: Orangish red, very thin off-white head. Aroma: Tart, wood, wild yeast, fruity and floral plum. Taste: Moderate to over moderate tart, combined with moderate to over moderate sweet notes, fruity and bit floral plum. Oak wood and wild yeast funk in the background. (White) wine notes. Light bitterness, going to a little bit stronger bitterness and a little less fruity, like plum peel, at finish. Very vinuous mouthfeel. Medium body, low carbonation. Very nice complexity. Another very nice Nevel beer.
