very bitter, heavily sour, salty, vinegar, light body, fizzy, bitter, The appearance varies from clear and light at the first glas, to muddy at the last one. Extremely sour (like drinking juice from the lemon), but with many tones underneath. Fantastic experience, but not something I would buy to savour over and over again. Although my girlfriend insists it’ll be great chilled in the summer. Purchased for 60dkr at Ølbutikken, Kbh V

37,5 cl bottle, 20AUG08 bottled. Acid and salt in the aroma. Citrus taste and, bit of chloride, warm bread finish.

Orange gold, aroma of rotting hay - sweet, funky, "farmish". First time I’ve had this since visiting the brewery. Luckily it’s as good as I remember it. Face puckering tartness gives way to a complex leathery, sour citrus flavour. Finishing like fermenting lemon juice and quenching as hell. I’d like a little more carbonation, but that’s just a quibble. Tasty!

Bottle (2008). Pours a hazy golden with nicely laced white head. Intense aroma of leather, wood, bread, sour apples and earthy notes. The flavour mirrors the character of the aroma. Bone dry finish. A superb beer for it’s age.

15oz bottle. A pretty hardcore gueze. The nose hits you immediately. Barnyard animals, socks, apple, cheese and vanilla. Pours a well carbonated hazy yellow. Taste is well pretty damn sour up front, tart sour apples and lemons, definite hay, no balsamic and the acidity is not as high as some other lambics. This is a very bretty beer. Finshes incredibly dry. Terrific palate cleanser in between big beers like stouts or barley wines. Amazing as always from them.

First ever Lambic, and upon opening the bottle and pouring I was greeted with a wild, yeasty smell with a sour apple aroma filtering into my nostrils. Tasted very sour and dry, everyone else I tried it with hated it but I found it very interesting. No sweetness at all - very sharp in the mouth, tingling my tongue leaving a crisp finish. Sourness varied from mouthful to mouthful - in one I had a hint of parmizan actually. I expect this to be nice with a good cheese. A wild, untamed, but very nice and unique beer

On tap at White Horse Tavern. Golden body. Sour and sour nose and taste. Not my thing at all. Tasted apples, sugar and SOUR.
