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

Slightly hazy golden color. This is a very funky lambic. Lemon, bread, leather, hay, oak, dry, tart fruit. Tasty.

Bottle ’06 vintage: Golden color with a light haze. No real head to speak of. Potent aroma of fruity, sour, and tart. The taste is strong with mouth puckerin’ sour, tart, and fruity vinous notes. Getting a bit of that funky, barnyard thing too. Another fun gueuze.

(Half a bottle) Orange peachy color, flavor is very upfront with sour, sweet and bitter changing scenes. Aroma isn’t all that wonderful.

bottle, 06. Dark orange color with a few white bubbles. Wet hay, horsey aroma with a tart tinge. Light bretty flavors up front, plasticy phenols. Oaky, musty characters. Mellow tartness in the finish, with a lingering horsey component. Mouthfeel is a light medium, rather dry.

gold and peach colors with no head and very fine suspended sediment. the usual sour, basement, bretty aroma with touches of peaches and apricot. flavors of apples, peaches, apricots, oak, olive, plastic. sour, watery, and light bodied. not incredibly sour which is a plus. dry and bitter finish. minimal carbonation.

Thanks to Bman1113vr for this delicious bottle. Bottle 2/23/06. Pours cloudy, with a dark orange body and a small, white albeit quick disappearing head. Smells sour, with nice hints of citrus. Taste is very sour, with a nice oak finish and a small hint of barnyard. Mouthfeel is dry.

Bottle marked Feb. 23, 2006. Pours with a small white ring over a hazy orange body. Aroma of oak, citrus sour, wood, chalk and a hint of 3Font yeastiness. Pretty generic, not too funky or really that complex. Taste is sour, but not puckering, hay and tart lemon. Very dry with very light carbonation (hardly any).
