25 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with little off-white head. Aroma is malt heavy with a slight acidity. Flavour is sweet malty, cane sugarish. Finish holds a very subdued caramel sweetness and a mild malt note. No acidity at all. Ends rather sweet and malty. Unusual sweet for a lambic.

Bottle. Pours a clear deeep amber colour. Sweet aroma of cane sugar, bit fruity and slight sourness. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet and fruity with caramel, some sourness and slight acid. Good Gueuze but too much sweetness. Mis gracias al señor yespr.

Bottle at Dulle Griet, Gent 06-12-07 This was something of a shocker to have after the magnificent Boon. Far too sweet to take seriously nonetheless there are still some positives to take into account....and then my notes mysteriosuly stop, I wonder what they were?

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Average beige fizzy head. Fair display of lacework. Clear amber color. Strange aroma for a Gueuze. Very malty base with notes of caramel, grain and even bread. Very fruit with heavy sugary notes. Light to medium bodied with an average carbonation. Heavy sweet flavour with a hint of sour notes. Fruit sweet finish.

Aroma horroroso, mas paladar bem interessante, suave, refrescante. Lembra muito as Faro. Faltou malte e lúpulo. Carbonatação zero, doce e sem creme.

Garrafa. Coloração âmbar, sem creme. Parece chá. Notas adocicadas e salgadas, predominando as primeiras. Falta gosto e características de cerveja. Carbonatação baixíssima.

(on bottle)Caramel sweet sent, with a vague tartness. Amber color, hazy and a white head. Oddly sweet beer for it´s style. Almost coconutsweetness, only slightly sour/tart. Floats into a carameled-bubblegumtaste, but get´s very cloying in the finish.
