Sep 13, 2008 Cask, BSF at the GBBF. Copper, a bit of fine white bubbles. Green grape nose, a bit of rose petals, lemon, viney. Dry grape flavor with a really interesting biscuit touch. Beautifully refreshing, bright and young but still a ton of character.

Aug 21, 2008 Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, small bubbly head. Aroma is very sweet fruits with some wooden and appleish notes. Also some vanilla and mild sourness. Flavour is quite sweet frutiy sourness with some slight stinging notes in the finish. A lot easier than the oude lambik.

Aug 17, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravicask at GBBF.
Solid gold colour, slightly hazy and a bubbly head. A young and appley Girardin. Superb wooden notes, incredible citrus and funk. Not yet quite dry enough for you to think about not downing it. This is breakfast lambic. If I could knock back a glass of this every morning the world would be a better place.

Jun 2, 2008 From wooden barrel at Koekoek in Asse, Belgium. The glass brought to me was murky, cloudy and hazy soft orange amber with a one inch white fluffy head (see pic above, that’s the one). Extremely intense nose of funky feet, cheese, horseblanket, dough, wheat, rye, everything... so incredibly intense and dense and amazingly fresh and vivid... this beer is alive. Acidity level is medium but still it strikes the tongue with tenacity... exceptionally vibrant raw grain, sweet malt, sour, funky cheese and barnyard... the yeast is just downright amazing. Incredibly delicious, and hands down the best pure unblended I’ve ever had. I sampled the oude version (1-2 years) at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation as well and it was clear and still and lacked the depth and pungency of the jonge... I don’t think that’s the proper way to drink this stuff... no... from the barrel in a true lambic cafe, fresh from the brewery, turbid and frothy and thick and delicious, it’s just incredible. This is a gem of Pajottenland. Picture viewable at http://www.youforgotpoland.org/GirardinJongeLambik

May 2, 2008 Updated: May 8, 2008On tap at the Hotel Centrum, Beersel 25/4/08. Amber coloured with no head. Tart aroma with a touch of fruit, caramel and wood. Some sweet malt came through in the flavour before the tartness returned in the finish. Different and oddly refreshing.

Apr 21, 2008 Darker amber coloured ber, no carbonation nor head. Light oaky, yeasty buttery aroma, maybe some light infection? Full palate. FInish is sweet sour combined, some more heavy dought touches. Not bad, but i suspect an infection of the beer in this case.
