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

Light amber color with almost no head. Smell is acidic, fruits, tart, wheat. Taste is barnyard, hay like, less carbonation, sharp feel, fruity, and tart. Very dry and sour, lacking some complexity. Needs some more time in the bottle.

12.7 oz bottle. Hazed copper with a ring of white bubbles. Nose is lemon peel, earth and leather. Medium light with a faint sparkle. Taste is lemon pith then juicy grapefruit. Oaky drying with hints of tangerine and apricot.

Bottle from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a fuzzy cider-esque golden-copper body with a fluffy white head that went away. Sour, tart, wheaten nose with lots of pucker factor. Funky, yet subtle and dainty. Acidic, dry, woody, nd well built gueuze. Yum!

To rate to style or to rate to personal liking...I will try to combine. Aroma is of a white wine with sour apple notes and hints of vinegar, wood, lemon and yeast. Appearance is cloudy apple juice with minimal carbonation, with the thinest of white heads around the edge. Flavor is sweet for a beer, apple, white wine, tart and wheat. Palate is thin but smooth, a slight sourness. For my first Lambic, it was a lot different than what I was expecting, still decent. And as strange as this beer was to me, I like it, I think its well done, balanced and not overpowering.

Sadly not what I’d hoped for. Watery with only the faintest sourness. The aroma was what I’d hope four - sour tart funk.
