Crazy lambic wow tart puckering even just in the nose!!! color is a yellowish orange that is nice and cloudy, very very bubbly. sour earthy barnyard nose and flavor but very refreshing at the same time. nice beer.

February 2004 bottle. Pours hazy golden color with white head. Funky barnyard aroma. Tart flavor with lots of funk. Medium body with average carbonation and a dry finish.

Bottle. Moderate aromas all around. Straw for the malt, herbs for the hops, cobwebs and cellar for the yeast, with a heavy background note of wood and a powerful solvent smell. Head is large, frothy, white with good lacing and is fully lasting. Color is hazy, but sparkling amber/tan. Flavor starts heavily acidic and sour then finishes the same way with loads of bitterness. Palate is medium, watery with a bit of slickness and has an extremely fizzy carbonation. It finishes heavily astringent. Like the Flemish Sours, how the hell does one drink this and say they enjoyed the experience? I’m done being daring with my tasting of the unknown.

bottle - hazy orange beer with almost no foam. Very sour aroma. Reminds on vine. The same for the flavour. Tastes very sour, like a brut cider. A little bit of "cellar" flavour. Very special beer but not my style.

Pours a slightly hazy pale golden-brown with no head to speak of. Aroma of sweet pineapple, vinigar, cider, quite pungent. First time I tried this was after a bunch of artificially-sweeneted lambics and my tastebuds were not happy. Re-corked it, left it in the fridge for nearly a month, and now I’m liking it a bit more. Very dry but with a lingering sweetness that balances nicely. Vinigar-cidery taste with a touch of spice, like cherry-pie (might be brett?) Thin body, barely carbonated. Not really my cup of tea, but complex enough to be interesting. Wouldn’t really want any great quantity of it, though. Many thanks to Boutip for the trade.

1999 bottle, sampled at RBSG 08. Pours a golden-amber. Aroma is sweet and sour, very fruity. Crisp, sour-sweet taste, citrus and other fruits. Light lingering sour sweetness. Very tasty and refreshing.
