(750ml bottle) pours a cloudy, sediment filled body with a large white head. Nose of sour apples, white wine and yeast. Flavour was mildly peppery in the throat. Very delicious. Many thanks to Lubiere for humping this back from Belgium! (7/4/8/4/15=3.8) Re-Rate (Bottle) Shared at the PNW Christmas 2006 party at Oakes on December 9th. Huge exploding head with highly carbonated amber body. Nose of tart cherry pits. Tonic. Good sweetness and tartness balance - peaches, apricots and antacids round out the flavour. (7/4/8/3/15=3.7)

Thank to YGTBSM94. Easy drinking w/ a slight tart and funk. Balance, complexity, and all fruit notes excell here. Maybe my favorite from 3 Fonteinen. Ageing is working well as of 8/22/08.

RBSG 2008. What a treat. Dry and acidic, citrusy and tropical floral notes in the funkiness. The sourness and acidity were very relaxed, the aging mellowed this out very well leaving behind a beautiful mellow cloudy orange brew.

(Bottle) Pours a glowing golden colour. The aroma is of mold, barnyard, horse blanket, citrus fruits and dust with tropical undertones of mango. The soft sweetness from the malt makes a perfect balance to the tart and sour tones. The flavour is light sweet and medium sour, tart and acidic with tones of citrus, toasted/cracker-like malt, barnyard, horse blanket and mold. Bit fruity. The mouthfeel is clean and medium dry. Medium bodied. Fantastic.

(6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Hazy deep golden color with a big white head. Aroma of barnyard, quite a lot of citrus and nice oakiness. Very sour flavor with loads of funky character, lemon, some grapefruit notes and wood. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. This is outstanding!
