Jeppe (2635), Ølbutikken, Denmark Mar 12, 2004 Updated: Jun 9, 2004 From keg (10-15 years old) generously brought home from Belgium by Jacob Lövenlund, Jens (Ungstrup) and MartinKubert. Thanks guys, for sharing this liquid gold with me!!! Beautiful hazy cheery color with the most foamy tall tan head. Very fresh and inviting raspberry aroma. Flavor is sweet and sour fruity with woody undertones. An extremely complex and tasty lambic, the best I have had so far and one of my all time beer favorites. Simply outstanding!!
Miksu (1244), Jyväskylä, Finland Jan 27, 2008 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm 1989 Vintage. Red color with creamy head. Sweet, juicy, acidic and perfumed aroma with notes of raspberry and rose. Sweetish, juicy and acidic flavor with nice fresh raspberry touch. Very balanced, excellent. awaisanen (1135), Irvine, California, USA Dec 10, 2007 From a 375mL Bottle, 1989 Vintage. Generously shared by cquiroga. Slightly hazy, even color of golden, ruddy caramels with a thin layer of soapy, off-white head. Big, sweet and juicy raspberry nose that’s amazingly bright for the age. A bit jammy and thick, with an interesting anise spice complexity. Malty nose of vanilla and caramel add richness to the incredibly smooth, supple fruit nose. The aroma actually reminds me a lot of KRE. Medium bodied, lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Sweet raspberry flavors up front on the palate, by some caramel and vanilla malt richness. A mild acidity and gentle vinous tartness is present, but restrained compared to the fruit qualities. Some herbal raspberry seeds linger in the finish, along with more of the vanilla, malty sweetness. Would like a bit more acidity, but the raspberry qualities are delicious and amazingly fruity for the age. Thanks for the rare treat, Chris! Theis (2039), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 10, 2007 Draught (vintage 1989) at Akkurat. Clear deep red - white head. High raspberres, light sweetness, light glue, citrus, light bike-glue, high berries. Very smooth, it is like it was released yesterday !! oh6gdx (5857), Vaasa, Finland Oct 2, 2007 Draught@Akkurat (1989 vintage). Murky red colour with small white head.
