75cl Vintage 2003. Pours a hazy golden bronze body with a thin white head. Lots of tart lemon and a sweeter balsamic reduction and a light honey body to finish. Delicious and worth its weight in gold. Cant wait to try the 1999 vintage bottles.

Yes, it is the classic gueuze from the heart of Bruxelles. I’ve tasted it two years ago, but i can remember it... It has an amber body with a minimal off white head. Aroma of a light vinegar, some barnyard, fruits like citruses, grapefruit, some vinous character. Complex flavor with tart, sourish Brettanomyces, nice fruits like lemon and grapefruit. Minimal carbonation. Longlong aftertaste of tartness and fruits.

Pours a hazy gold with quick dissipation of the head. Nose is BRILLIANT bandaids fermented in a subtle brine of apples both ripe and freshly green and sour, plus a clean chlorine water along with what I can only describe as angels’ tears. Sour and fresh fruits on the tongue, this is definitely subtler than some of it’s counterparts. Maybe more refined. Taste experience goes on for a good 20+ seconds, probably closer to 30. To think I paid 8.50 for a plastic cup of piss at the ballpark, when I could have watched the game on TV and drank one of these for the same price. It’s a mystery life, baby.

Bottle at Cantillon. First experience with classic Lambic brewing. Different than any other beer I have had before. Flat, golden yellow, and drinks more like a fine wine than a beer. Enjoyable but different.

Bottle August 2008. Golden color with a white head. Aroma is tarty with a bit of a smokey sent to it. Flavor is quite complex, definite tartness and bitterness. Brings out a nice citrus with a bit of apples. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles (Paris)- September ’08. Appearance: Golden color. Little to medium head and white. Aroma: wheaty and tart. Reminicences of green grapes, green apples, quince and prickly pear. Flavor: wheaty, wild yeasty and sour. Citric fruitiness similar to quince, chardonay’s grapes, green apples and lemon. Light bicarbonate’s note. Palate: Light body and medium carbonation. Remark: Refreshing beer with a nice and multidimentional fruity sourness.
