Commercial Description:
Blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic. Fermented and lagered in oak vessels. In this bottle the young yeast is brought to sleep ('ingedoesjeld') so the original lambic flavors are preserved. This beer has no head, just like lambic. The lambic is brewed with 60% barley, 40% wheat, last years hop

12 oz. at Beer Engine into tulip. Beautiful golden pour (kind of like a cloudier version of the Viking Blod mead), flat of course. Aroma like a slightly funkified apple cider, taste has that same clean bite. This was delightful.

At a tasting, many thanks DSG, no head, murky orangy colour, aromas of lemon vinegar, white fruits, moss and manure, quite sour with some white fruits but a bit one dimensional. Very pleasant lambic.

Bottled. The aroma is tart, has dusty yeast and citric fruitiness. hazy, orange coloured beer with a medium, white head. The taste is acidic, tart and has horse blanket, citrus. Tartness is medium, not a too heavy gueuze this is. Nice one.

Orange color, slightly hazy, with a very small head. The smell is fruity with lots of funky notes and some acidity. It has quite a mild taste. The flavor is tart with some added sweetness. Mild fruit notes of lemon and green apples. Hints of wood. Rather clean character. The finish also clean with a very gentle bitterness and mild tartness. Medium body, basically no carbonation. Good, but slightly uninteresting. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Pours a cloudy golden orange color that is almost completely still, with only the faintest of bubbly heads that quickly disappears. Earthy funk aroma with lots of barnyard/horsebalnket character. Musty with a slight lactic character and subtle light fruit notes. The oak again also provides a vinous, vinegary scent. Very quaffable and easy to drink, especially for the style. A bit watered down and not acidic at all. Slight tart earthy funk flavor that is pretty tame for an authentic gueuze. Dry oaky vinous character with slight sour vinegary presence. Although it isn’t as sour as expected it becomes more so as it warms up.

slightly sweet, fruity, citrusy and zesty, but with a strange burnt rubber flavor in there. Something in it isn’t right, but overall it’s not bad. Bottle from Ryan Blanksi’s Sourfest- Hollywood, Florida.

orangish pour. Citrus(lemon), funk, tartness, stone fruit and some cheese. Flavor is funky, tart and a bit woody and yeasty.
