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

Pours a yellow-gold color with a bubbly ring. Aroma is acidic, tart, horse planet. Taste is tart and acidic. It is very thin and watery-like which I dont care for. Otherwise, it is good tasting.

Bottle at Xmas Eve Eve Eve. Pours golden brass color with almost no head, but very nice legs. The mouthwatering aroma is sharp cheese, lactic acid, farm, and cellar. The flavor is light farminess, tart sourness, some light honeyish sweetness, cellar funk, and a dry, oaky finish. Delicious.

Bottle dated 17 02 2006, consumed 7/2009. Cloudy light amber with not one single bubble. Aroma of vinegar and citrus. Amazingly sour and complex taste with oak and grapefruit. Fantastic.

Thanks durhambeer for securing this bottle for me. Pours a hazy peachy amber. Still with an almost nonexistent head. The nose is tart, vinous grapes, yeasty, sharp and acidic, some oak. The flavor is sharp and tart, vinous, mild dryness, oaky, mild waxy character, a tad thin. Palate is tart and acidic but lacks body. Overall a pretty tasty lambic but it had some flaws.

Inert yellow-orange pour with no head or carbonation. Sour vinegar aroma with lots of malty grain and fruit, grape. Earthy funk. Very sour with lots of earthy notes. Slight bitter hop finish.

A hazy amber gueuze with almost no head. Wonderful citrus, Brett, Epsom salt in aroma. In mouth, lactic and citric acid, a bit of salt notes, but rather light bodied. Tasted at Mondiale 2008, June 1 2008.
