Apr 29, 2005 Apple and slightly rusty-sweet tasting. Heavy on the palate. Not unenjoyable, but a pint of this will possibly kill your evening. Good thing I didn’t have that much.

Apr 25, 2005 Tap at Mort Subite cafe. A subtle aroma - yeast and citrus. Light yellow and cloudy. Smooth sweet flavor with lemon/lime - tastes like a witbier. Very nice and lighter after drinking heavier lambics.

Jan 28, 2005 Same place as Joeh and Daniel. This is cetainly a departure from the general flow of Belgians and a welcome change. Quite effervescent in the glass and a smallish head. This has a cider like character and is a little bit of a surprise in the first instance. Once appreciated for the beer it is however this comes through as a good style of beer.

Dec 25, 2004 Draught at Mort Subite Cafe, Brussels. Served too cold. An odd stab at an unusual beer. Like a cross
between a lambic and a regular wheat beer. Very fruity, some citric notes, spicyness, a little sourness and
some background vanilla. Strange but pleasent.

Nov 16, 2004 Draught at La Mort Subite Cafe, Brussels. Cloudy Wit beer - absolutely delicious! Perfectly balanced, refreshing lemony/chalky flavour, with an unusual but highly satisfying soured finish. Exceptionally good.

Oct 2, 2004 Updated: Oct 25, 2004Keg. The colour is apricot-pale orange and cloudy. The minimal foam is white and built of relatively large bubbles.
The smell resembles of sparkling lemonade: Sweet with a clear flavour of citrus fruits and peach.
The carbonation is potent with rather big bubbles. Quite fit for the style, I think.
The first taste that meets the drinker is a rather bitter aroma of marzipan and apricot brandy. Then, a complex taste of sweet almonds, dry cherries, peaches, bitter orange and some yeast emerges. The bitterness is very subtle, but it is present somewhere in there. The aftertaste is slowly decreasing, leaving a fine flavour of apricot.
According to the staff at Akkurat (the fine beer bar in Stockholm, Sweden), this beer is strictly speaking only sold at a Belgian café, but a special arrangement made this exclusive guest appearance in Sweden possible. They also explained this beer as “like Hoegaarden White, but based on a Lambic instead of Witbier. The result was quite different but very attractive.
