Hanssens Oudbeitje

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

Bottle, 2006. Pours a cloudy orange with no head. Aroma is extremely funky, with some sour fruit. Flavor also quite funky but not too sour, some wood/oak, sharp sour finish. I get a vague fruitiness but no strawberries in particular. Very drinkable for a lambic. I’d love to have a draught sample of this...if it existed.

2006 bottle. As soon as I opened the cork I knew there would be no carbonation in this one, which was disappointing in that it affected both the palate and the appearance. Electric hazy orange pour, very still. Rose petals and strawberries with a lemony zing on the nose; extremely floral with a little brett behind it. Very tart and acetic on the tongue, burning even a little. More tart strawberry, lemon, rosewater, brett funk on the tongue. Bit of a bitter/funky finish that doesn’t end as crisply as I would wish. This really has all the makings of a great beer. If properly carbonated, I think it could have been amazing. Really enjoyed the glimpses as it was...

Bottled sample. Light orange in colour, with almost no carbonation. Quite funky on the nose, along with secondary notes of lemon and light strawberry. More funk and lemon in the mouth with a background note of strawberry on the finish. On the palate, the strawberry flavor gives the suggestion of sweetness before the sourness kickes in. Very quaffable due to the low carbonation. Not overly complex, but still quite nice.

Bottle, corked left silent and i knew i was in for a salty uncarbonated struggle to finish my glass. Pour was orange Hi-C, hazy bright orange. Flavor is like not yet ripe strawberry and oranges. salty initially then tart.
