Poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a 1/4 inch dense white head that eventually faded to a layer. Tart, funky aroma with some barnyard yeastiness, horse blanket, and some dry fruit (lemon peel, berry skin). Tart, crisp entry with some fruitiness (tannic berry skin, tart citrus) carry into some funky horse blanket and a cobweb yeastiness that follows into the dry, oaky finish. Moderate carbonation with a spritzy, crisp mouth feel and a dry finish. Overall, a a very enjoyable lambic that I could enjoy almost any time. Pinball (2999), Allerød, Denmark

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 17, 2009 2002 shared by Rciesla. Pours a hazy peachy dull orange-gold with a light spritzy carbonation and diminishing slight head to nothing. Aroma is musty, good funky old stale brett- cobwebby, notes of fruit- peach and apricot, lemon zest and some mildew is moderately apparent. Flavor has some really old rotting wood character, earth, leather, old typical cantillon funk - tons of acidity and sour but not as clean or fresh as some other gueze, it doesn’t have that zesty pop of acidity- rather just a dull lacto sourness which I also like- also some more stale mildew and cobwebs as it is fairly old at this point. Nice finish and a long drawn out sourness and astringency in the back of the palate. Always awesome. Rciesla (3830), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Pours a hazy orange body with a thin white head. Some effervescent woody tart lactic acid lemon and pit but the finish is low in acidity, for what it is. A hint of citric acid and peach y notes. I loved it. 4.3
1999 Vintage. Pours a golden copper body with a white head. Musky, stinky cheese, dusty, acetic lemon character and very acidic, with a sulfur and burnt match stick character about it. 3.7
