Jul 30, 2007 Tumbler poured from a 10-liter plastic jug at Delices et Caprices in Brussels. (Thanks, Pierre!) And man, what a thirst-quenching treat. Dull, hazy copper color with two bubbles on top. Faint aroma of grapefruit, honey and earth. Flavor had a touch of sweetness like iced sun tea, big, dusty grapefruit backdrop. Mellow, refreshing.

Mar 16, 2006 A "young" lambic. Hmmmm ... as is the case of most Girardin products, I have decidced on recent evaluation, diacetyl. I will attempt to avoid my natural disinclination toward diacetyl when evaluating this product, because, at least it wasn’t even close to being as nearly overpowering as it was in other beers.
Which is to say ... I rather liked this brew. Orange. No head. Fuinky aromas ... some -- nay, quite a bit of diacetyl -- tending toward acetylaldehyde (a definite,sour, green apple taste here). Tanins in the nose and taste -- particularly a "retronose". Leathery. Somewhat lemony, but I suspect that perception was an "influence" of nearby tasters. ;) Nice palate -- not cloying, semi-dry ... medium-full bodied. Whole = > sum o’ parts.

May 2, 2008 Updated: May 8, 2008On tap at the Hotel Centrum, Beersel 25/4/08. Amber coloured with no head. Tart aroma with a touch of fruit, caramel and wood. Some sweet malt came through in the flavour before the tartness returned in the finish. Different and oddly refreshing.

Aug 11, 2006 From the cask at GBBF, August 2006. Day 1, beer #21. Golden colour. Slight haze. Entirely flat. Some sweetness with moderate acidity although I wouldn’t call it particularly sour. Woody and citric at the same time. Less farmyard than expected in the aroma. Not fully developed yet, but getting there.
