Commercial Description:
Blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic. Fermented and lagered in oak vessels. In this bottle the young yeast is brought to sleep ('ingedoesjeld') so the original lambic flavors are preserved. This beer has no head, just like lambic. The lambic is brewed with 60% barley, 40% wheat, last years hop

Thanks to Bman1113vr for this delicious bottle. Bottle 2/23/06. Pours cloudy, with a dark orange body and a small, white albeit quick disappearing head. Smells sour, with nice hints of citrus. Taste is very sour, with a nice oak finish and a small hint of barnyard. Mouthfeel is dry.

Bottle marked Feb. 23, 2006. Pours with a small white ring over a hazy orange body. Aroma of oak, citrus sour, wood, chalk and a hint of 3Font yeastiness. Pretty generic, not too funky or really that complex. Taste is sour, but not puckering, hay and tart lemon. Very dry with very light carbonation (hardly any).

Crushed with Jakebra and Honkeybra. Unlike any beer I’ve ever had. Wicked bizzah. Tart, funky, leathery-rubbery nose and flavor. Not sure how much I like it, but I’m glad I drank it. Very unique and interesting and weird. Pretty cool.

Pours yellow with a fizzy head. Smells funky with lots of the typical horseblankety hints, residual sugar, damp wood, etc... Tastes tarte and dry with a refined sweetness on the finish.

Bottle samnpled sitting at the bar at Delirium in Brussels. I had previously purchased a bottle of this in Antwerp but have had it cellaring. The beer poured a clear golden body with a medium white head. The nose was a bit funky, earthy and had hits of wood. The taste was more of the same from the nose. The beer was tart, dry and had definite notes of oak and maybe even some smoke. Very interesting beer and another hit from Drie Fonteinen.

Pours out a flat gold. Smells like sour apple juice. Taste is tart and funky. Slight woody flavor mellow sourness. Very smooth, dry and refreshing.

Golden orange in color with a very small white head. Aroma is very haylike with a slight tartness. Flavor is tart like the tart bite of a grapefruit. Dry mouthfeel.
