Nov 24, 2009 Bottle at Tom’s Tasting, April 2009. 1999 vintage, from DHVL. Many thanks to whoever brought this along. Murky orange. Almost no carbonation. Quite funky aroma but otherwise fairly mellow. Lots of citrus in the flavour. Also some rather petrolly, cider-like notes. A top notch Gueuze that has aged gracefully.

Nov 11, 2009 cloudy yellow pour. This was from my friend Ryans sourfest on Halloween. Cheesy aroma is evident immediately with some sour fruit and barnyard aromas too. Flavor is sour as hell. Lemony, acidic, vinegar, earthy tones, dry. Sour. wow.

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle 1999. Holy! What a treat! POured a hazy yellow orange. Nose is funky, cheese, sweat, sour apple, cider vinegar, musty basement and wet animal. Flavor is a puckering lactic sourness, notes of clean tartness mixed with complex wood and earthy vinegary, sweaty funky cheesy ridiculous sour. One of the best sours i have ever had.

Sep 27, 2009 1999 Vintage. Thanks for this one Theis! Utterly amazing! Hazy amber color and almost still as I’d feared from the low fill level. It’s been years since I smelled barnyard that was quite this, satisfying, in a beer. The body starts out with more of this incredible barnyard character and finishes with a dry, citrus like sour tartness. Every sip was tarter than the last until my lips felt permanently puckered. Had carbonation survived, this would have been a perfect 5.

Jul 26, 2009 Approfittando della trasferta a Bruxelles,quale migliore occasione per assaggiare le migliori birre belghe direttamente sul posto?
Una di queste è la lambic di Belle Vue,qui in versione Sèlection.
Colore ambrato leggero,un pò opaco,scarsissima la schiuma.Al naso sentori di uva bianca,limone e un qualcosa che definirei sulfureo.Gusto morbido,un pò acido con note di limone,spezie e pepe.Retrogusto acido e secco.Mi dicono che la produzione è stata interrotta o sospesa,beh,è una brutta notizia,fortuna che ne ho fatta un pò di scorta.Meravigliosa lambic,anche se quelli di InBev non sono dello stesso parere!
