Very light, no lacing. Apricot aroma. Very smooth, but VERY tart. Orangey flavor without the citrus bite.

On bottle) Semidark, golden and crisp, almost glowing abricotcolor, beautifull. NO head, I´ll get back to that. Fenomonal sour and snappy aroma. Vanilla, gooseberries, unripe plum, something flowerish too. Without the carbonation, the grapefruitpeel-bitterness become very dominat and warmining. Also the oxidaded hops is more present withut the bobbles, like an underlying, dark note. The finish just creeps up on you, at first it´s full and full of ochards, then it becomeslike sor grapes, more citruspeel and a lash of cassisleaves ends it all. BUT. The total lack of carbonation realy turned me off, something fundamental was missing in a big way. Beer has many values to me, the carbonation is a total trumph and the absense is a drag for me.

Peach-colored and cloudy-bodied, no head...aroma is very yeasty and puckeringly sour - no particular fruit presence. The flavor is also very, very tart: in my opinon, just mostly sour. I’m having a hard time placing any specific flavor with this one...I don’t know, maybe I just don’t get lambics.

Pours a flat, cloudy golden color - musty and almost "musky" aroma, along with white wine, wheat, aged cheese - the three years in oak have given an extreme woody flavor to the beer - light bodied - only moderate sourness - wheat flavors, white grapes - funky, cheese-like brett flavors near the finish - oak remains throughout - a little thin, but interesting.

Very lambic pungent aroma. Flat and pungent... a naked lambic. VERY interesting.

Great coloring of nice gold with some minimal white head. Good sour apple aroma, some pickle or other tart aromas. Excellent tartness, some cheese tasting at the start, ending in a clean apple leading again back to chedder. Very nice and smooth end, very little puckering in the mouth.

Hazy dark golden color with a fully diminishing very thin white head. Very tart aroma. Somewhat thin flavor but a nice sour flavor somewhat similar to lemonade without the sugar.
