HogTownHarry (3286), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. At Chris_O’s September 2008 DenCan bash. I lose track a lot, but I think Ian brought this one? Thanks! Best before 20.06.2027. Very cloudy light orange pour, large diminishing white head. Classic gueuze, mid-level funk and sourness and an almost lemon pastile sweetness to the malt. The taste follows, very thick and sweet, but solid lemon acidity evens it out - thick, acidic, but had a bit of a weak finish. Not amazing, but incredible drinkable. sunevdj (1482), Copenhagen OE, Denmark Oct 7, 2008 Bottle at Shorts tasting with The Club and a few more. Pours a slightly hazy light amber with a tiny white head. Medium sour. Tart. Some funghi aromas. Also some vinegar. Dry sour finish. Kinda one-dimensional. thewolf (3983), Kolding, Denmark Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Chris_o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
[thank you, harrisoni, for bringing this from Belgium]
Pours hazy, pale golden with a tiny, frothy, white head. Aroma has oranges, fine tartness, green apples and grapefruit. Very nice mouthfeel. Flavour is nicely tart, good apples, barnyard and a very nice dryness in the finish. CapedBrewsader (194), Brasschaat, Belgium Jul 2, 2008 Bottle at the weekend of spontaneous fermentation 2008: Dark gold with orange center. Thin ring of a head. Dark, wet hay on top of some malt. light barnyard and musty, moldy wood. Touch of old dried grapefruit peel. Flavor is a bit "spicy" for a Lambic. Tea leaves an some sort of dried brown spice that I can’t get my finger on. Almost seems too fresh. Aroma is great but flavors seem to not be unified, and are very simple. Tea under a horse-blanket. beastiefan2k (1133), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Jun 4, 2008 2003 bottle, pours with a large head that eventually subsides to a centimeter large surface covering foam. The body is yellowish golden. Aroma is lemon-y barnyard horse blanket. Taste is very tame for a lambic; light sour with lots of horse blanket. It finishes with a carpet-fuzzy dryness. Fine stuff but really doesn’t try to take any leaps, just plays it real simple. Too much simple Boon stuff in here. 375mL bottle BB 22/08/2027 from Grote in a De Neve tumbler on 5/21/08.
