Bottle thanks to puzzl. Surprisingly sweet. Really strong fresh pineapple and grapefruit. Finishes dry, but not as dry as I expect for the style. Sourness is far from overwhelming. Some woody notes. Lacking some complexity. No carbonation at all. Medium body. Pretty good beer, but not killer or anything.

Sampled at the RBSG 07 Grand Tasting. Excellent sour nose on this beer. with a wild field character. Very sour body with an earthy tinge.

I didn’t realize this was an unblended lambic while drinking it. From a keg. I expected unblended lambic to be much more sour that this. As it is, there is mild barnyard aroma and wild yeast. Flavor is just a little sour, some oak, cloudy yellow. It really is a nice beer, and the mildest lambic I have ever had that still is clearly a quality beer and not something filled with sugar. This one was from 2003. I will have to rerate when I open my bottle.

This is a still lambic. Pours a light, hazy golden color. The first taste is sour and acidic, but not overpowering. After it has been in your mouth for a moment you get a flavor similar to a white burgendy. There is a bit of oak. The stillness takes a bit of getting used to, but after that it is enjoyable to drink, especially if you are a fan of sour beers.

Pours hazy orange with no head to speak of. Aroma is sour oak and lemon. Flavor is sour, but not overpowering. There is a nice woody flavor in the background.

Bottle. Thanks to Slob and Solan for sending me a bottle. Pours a cloudy golden body with no head. Aroma is of citrus and light barnyard. Flavor is lightly sour - barnyard. Small amount of citrus, a little oak presence. Full bodied, a little syrupy. This is one calming beer. I really enjoyed this.

Bonus bottle from Mgumby10. What a bonus, thanks Mike! Been a while since I’ve had this one and I wish I had more. Pours a deep golden color with absolutely no head. Hardly any carbonation either. Nose is barnyard, oak, lemons. Flavor is incredibly smooth for a lambic but at the same time very sour, acidic, and damn tasty. I drank this faster than any lambic I’ve had in the past. I wish this was still locally available to me. Paired great with Stroopie cookies from Holland.

Uno spettacolo al naso una varieta impressionante di sfumature ( sembra un ottimo sauvignon ) il gusto e’ sorprendente con un retrogusto lunghissimo dopo averla bevuta la bocca rimane di una pulizia unica e l’acidità invoglia a berne ancora e ancora........
