May 2, 2008 On draught at the Drie Fonteinen restaurant, Beersel 24/5/08. Deep golden, hazy colour with next to no head. Aroma of citrus, a whiff of tropical fruit and some musty yeast. Very tart flavour with plenty of the barnyard, a touch of woodiness and some more citrus fruit. A dry, slightly sour finish but refreshing.

Thanks for satisfying my curiousity Jörgen. After a long night of English ale beer tastings I wanted something different to ’refresh’ my tastebuds. What could be more removed from a malty session ale than a Lambik I thought. I wasn’t disappointed - this beer is shockingly different alright. Tastes of freshly squeezed lime and lemon juice and delivered with a puckering sourness that instantly dried the inside of my mouth, trapping me in a wonderfuly vicious circle of having to take another sip to quench the thirst this beer creates. So invigorating, so savagely sour and so memorable. For me the best beer in a great night of beers in Trollhättan.

Mar 17, 2008 2008-03-07. "Van het vat" at the restaurant. Headless, still, dark amber body. Aroma is unexpectedly sweet, mild musty malts, sour touches emerge as it warms. (6+) First sip has a wave of sour escalating across the tongue. Further tasting has a moderate consistent sourness with a modest grainy wheat and malt in the flavour. Alcohol makes a brief jarring appearance after eating something between sips. As the glass warms a bit more lemon seed sourness starts to emerge. Average to light palate is typical of the style on tap, or at least the few that I have had. Pleasant, but I expected more somehow.
On tap at 3 Fonteinen, Beersel

Feb 21, 2008 Tap at 3 Fonteinen. Sour vinegar and musty barnyard aroma. Yellow-brown color (like cider) with no head. Smooth malt initially followed by a powerful tart/sour musty citrus flavor. Very nice and made a very nice appertif for my meal.
