Magnificent sharp crisp aroma - fruity berries briefly appear, as does a dry woodiness. Silky palate, and a beautiful sour tingle, though the carbonation’s very low. Vanilla aand fruity sweet aspects, but the sticky rsiny woodiness is grat. Some grapefruit bitterness. All in beautiful balance, even though it’s simple Svesse (2597), Hässelby, Sweden Sep 3, 2009 (Gravicask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2009. 2 years old) Hazy copper colour with no head. Tart, sourish nose with notes of stable, barnyard, sweaty horse and lemony citrus. Acidic, tart taste with rhubarb, grapefruit, lemon and horse blanket. Rather light body. Dry, harsh and tart. A bit rough around the edges but a nice lambic. mjs (1446), Helsinki, Finland Aug 20, 2009 (Draught, 2007 vintage, at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-08-17) Pale orange and hazy. Hardly any head. Sourness, fruitiness and grapefruit in aroma. Medium bodied and dry palate with quite low carbonation. Grapefruit, sourness, fruitiness, bitterness and wood in taste. Grapefruit and fruitiness in aftertaste. LordCorkscrew (939), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy Aug 20, 2009 Davvero da bere a litri, ma io forse non sono tanto imparziale siccome amo il lambic serio sopra ogni bevanda; alla spina al BQ del Polli, accompagnato con un panino generosamente stracolmo di prosciutto e formaggio alpino. sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland Aug 17, 2009 (Straight from a "almost 2 years old" cask@Cantillon brewery, rated 7/29/2005) Hazy orange color with no head, plus some cask wood remains. Very acidic and dry, not stingy at all, but quite smooth, fruity and wheaty aroma. Wheaty, dry and tart flavor of apricots. Medium-bodied, dry and very flat-carbonated palate. Surprisingly smooth and tasty brew even without carbonation. Finwe (56), Grankulla, Finland Aug 17, 2009 Draught @ Pikkulintu. Golden yellow colour, no head. Sour scent. Teeth-dissolving taste with hardly any other components than sourness. Quite delicious. PJClarke (610), London, Greater London, England Aug 7, 2009 Aromas of soggy cornflakes dressed with lemon juice. In the mouth it is wonderfully soft yet pretty in-your-face. With a slight hint of wood. It is a simple beer really. Tooth tingling and with a weird residue. Not quite as wonderful as I have been brought to expect.
