Nov 19, 2008 (Bottle 75 cl) Comes as "Lindemans Lambic 1996" at 6% ABV, bottle # 787/1042 at Monks in Stockholm. First pour is clear amber golden with a tiny rough head. Aroma has a little cork but is otherwise rather tart and vinegarish. Light body, flat with some fruity raspberry sweetness and an astringent, tart finish with some fustyness. Never Cantillon sour though. 011108

Aug 2, 2008 <i> <b> Bottle at Heeren van Liedekercke, Belgium, 26-07-08 </i> </b> Pours with a slight film of bubbles that have been caused purely in the act of pouring as once they rapidly disappear there are no more bubbles. Gold light amber in colour, crystal clear, there is a softened sharpness some lemon torte an aged slight musiness, some sour grapeskin, ooohh this is very nice.
