Hanssens Oudbeitje

Brewed by Hanssens Artisanaal
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Dworp, Belgium

2000 bottle shared by phaleslu- thanks peter! Pours a weird color that fades from a light yellow, to orange, to brown near the top. practically no head. Aroma of plastic, leather, wood. flavor plastic, leather, fruit. flavor acid, bile , plastic, cowhide, and stale strawberries. interesting, but I’m guessing this is better fresh. astringent. Dry mouthfeel.

Hazy yellow with small orange hues. A thin layer of big bubbles quickly fades away into a minimal ring of lacings. A rather big smell, very funky. Lots of barnyard and something reminiscent of wet dog. Mouldering leaves and rocks, and a white wine-like acidity. All this is topped by a pleasant but subtle smell of sweet strawberries (like dry strawberries) and a hint of lemon. Very good and rather unique. The taste is sour. The funkiness is more restrained, but still very prominent with a character of wet hay and mud rather than barnyard. Very subtle wheaty notes get through every now and then. As with the funkiness, the fruity notes are slightly more restrained than in the smell. But the strawberries are still noticeable with a rather distinct flavor. A hint of lemon. The finish has actually a quite noticeable grassy bitterness to it, which complement the aggressive sourness and mild fruity sweetness really well. A nice tartness lingers on in the mouth for a long time. Pretty big body for the style (still moderate though), very restrained carbonation with calm bubbles. I don’t think I would have mind slightly more carbonation. It’s not as dry as most comparable beers. Very good. Good balance between acidity and sweet strawberry flavors.

375 ml bottle froma trade with boutip. best before 07/08/2018. pours almost flat, hazy and light brown, ugly. very slight carbonation. aroma of strawberries and acid. the flavour starts with raspberries but then the acid comes in and the finish id long, dry and sour. a real sipper, if this was carbonated it would have been much harder to drink. nice fruit lambic.

Nose is fresh picked strawberry, sour fruits, big cheesy funk, slight oxidation and autolysis. Flavor is funky sour fruits, unripe strawberries, some chardonnay notes.

2000 bottle, aroma of sour funk and sweet strawberries. Flavor is tart, but not too sour and the strawberries are underwhelming. Carbonation is nearly non-existent, but it is tasty regardless.

Bottle. Aroma is acetic and funky with fruit tones. Bright gold with light carbonation but no head. Good balanced acidity with a slight barnyard eathiness. Pleasant.

cute pink flavor, little smokiness. Bitter and definitely sour. Some fruit flavors, but not tasting strawberry specifically. Bottle from Knightly Spirits, Orlando.

Bottle. Pours an unclear golden beer with a weak offwhite head. The aroma is berries, strawberry, grass, wood and sulfur. The flavor is acidity, strawberry and fruit. The palate is dry and the beer has a low carbonationlevel. Overall an average beer.
