Friend brought this over and shared the bottle, dropped like $27 or something on it. Pulled out the cork with little to no carbonation. Pours out a slightly cloudy orange color. If you shook the glass enough a tiny head appeared. Aroma very sour and vinous, with some earthy oak undertones. Flavor was tart and sour, earthy oak notes, some citrus. Interesting, but I don’t know if it was worth the price tag.

Bottle. Virtually no head. Color is yellow. Aroma and taste are lactose acid and barnyard malt. Very sour and unbalanced. Drink vinegar instead.

2005 vintage Courtesy of Degarth. My first rating of this style. Thanks. Pours hazy gold with orange hue and almost no head. The aroma is mild tartness and tart cherry fruitiness followed by solid funkiness. I also get mild vegetable-ish alcohol notes. The taste starts watery followed by a bolt of tartness that buckles the knees and causes a wince of apparent pain. The fruit noted in the nose is just noticeable on the palate. Wow. This is tart. Could use many many more years of aging. I didn’t notice any wood being that it is cask aged for three years, pity. Interesting and refreshing experience.

Bottle. Frothy white almost no head. Yellow colour. Light malty veryacetic aroma. All the horse-related adjectives can be used: Blanket, barnyrad and leather. Bitter and very acetiv flavor. Average finish. Oily palate. Weird experience but thats unblended lambic take it or leave it.

Yellow color no head. Vinegar aroma and ofc vinegar flavour. A speciel beer type so wine-like, but this is one of the best of them.
