1999 vintage, sampled 2/2004: light hazy orange colour, no foam, strong aroma of cheese, vinegar and green apple, very acid, sour, quite light-bodied, the finish is very long, dry and acidic with notes of cheese and haye - yes, it's hard to drink and yes, I like it !

A Clear golden with a tint of orange.Nose is hard to describe, sour,slightly cheesy,grassy,very tantalizing. Thin head and lace. Medium body with just mind boggling tastes. Its just hard for me to describe. Its tart like a grapefruit, medium bodied,very complex...things going on in here i have never tasted, maybe thats why im having trouble putting it into words along with the fact i have only tried this style twice now. Slightly metallic finish. God, this rating sucks, will need to try again.

(vintage 2002, bottle) Dark golden, low creamy white head. Complex and acidic aroma of oak, wood, cork and salt. Flavour is acidic, woody and cheesy, small notes of leaves. Sourish and salty woody finish.

Very sweaty and intimate, personal, musky aroma incorporates rubber, and lychee nuts minus the sweetness. Very hazy orange-tan with thin, white, fully diminishing head. Pineapple, lemon and grapefruit flavours blend nicely with a very quiet underlying brett character. Sticky in the mouth but dry and puckering in the finish. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.

Bottle. Sourish, earthy aroma. Dark golden colour, almost clear, no head. Totally flat, no carbonation. Sour flavour, no surprise, earthy and nice. Hint of aluminium in the aftertaste, but that wears off.

Light orange infused with some yellow with a white soft foam head. Sour aroma with a bit of fruit. Some wild funky yeast notes.

Sample at Indy tasting Dick’s BBQ 3/31/06 - Aroma is sour, yeast, citrus, and clove. Pours hazy yellow with no head or lacing. Flavor matches aroma. There is a fruity taste in there I can’t put my finger on, maybe apricot or grapefruit. Palate is very tart yet it goes down smooth. I like the natural flavors and would like to nurse a whole bottle and really get into it.

75 cl bottle of Grand Cru Bruocsella Lambic Bio 2002. Light copper colour with just a light haze and only a handful of large bubbles on the top. Spicy, gently peppery nose with apples and only notions of barnyard. Dry, woody taste; tart without much citrus - rather vinous grapes and apples. Sulphur, fruit and mild bitterness in the aftertaste. A bit oily, very smoth texture with a very dry finish, yet without much astringency.
