Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 3, 2008750ml bottle 2000 vintage consumed in Brugge (also had 2 year old draft at Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008, which scored only 3.2)
Pours wheat colored orange with a small white head. Mild funky cheese and wheat in the nose, creamy and funky character all around, really well developed. Very mellow, and definitely more centered on the mild funk/feet/cheese than on fruit or citrus. Acidity is medium-low, the texture is very smooth and creamy and rich, and a small frothiness builds into a drying leather and peach rind finish. Very flavorful and rich, aged well. Dense nose, dense flavor.

May 9, 2008 Courtesy SoLan. Been waiting a second to try this one. Cloudy golden yellow pour, thin white floes of head. Musky, dusty attic-like aroma, light peppery acidity. Aggressive tartness on the taste, followed by a clean sour twang that lingers. Rich and savory lambic with the acidity in check. Lightly carbonated.

May 1, 2008 Thanks be to Mr(VIP)Facto! Pre-DLD breakfast beer, 10/2000 bottling. Poured apple juicy yellow with just a few light bubbles for head. The aroma picked up bracing vinegar, dusty funk, and sour light fruit skins.. made the eyes water a little.. age did seem to mellow it out, though, as it presented itself very well. The flavor was sour as expected with vinegar leading the way, followed by a dry, funky cheese and a bit of foot.. apple skins and juice on the back-end. Tart on the palate with a puckering, bone-dry finish.. sharp overall and well done.

Apr 28, 2008 750mL bottle, bottle date 10 2000, courtesy of MrFacto. Thanks, Matt! Consumed at around 8:30 on DLD morning. Pours a hazy, golden-auburn color; mostly headless, with a touch of oiliness. Intensely dense and funky aroma: lemon rind, predominantly, with horseblanket, lots of funk, and reasonably high acidity; gorgeous, funky nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: follows the aroma well; lots of tart citrus, funk; again, above average (but reasonable) levels of acidity; intensely drinkable, tart, and dense. Excellent aged lambic. Lengthy, tart finish: clinging citrus, blue cheese, and funk.
