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

The tight synthetic cork squeezes out with hardly a pop. It pours a hazed golden orange with no head. Sour earthy notes in the nose. Some grapefruit, orange, and candied notes. Tart and earthy flavors. Slightly acidic grapefruit, lemon and oaky, but smooth to drink. The earthiness is interesting though the lemons and grapefruit are a little much, decent beer though. 8/3/7/3/14 =3.5

Bottled sample via and shared with oakbluff. Dark gold in colour with medium carbonation. Typical gueuze aromas of funk, lemon and wood. More woody and earthy in the mouth, but the lemon and funk are still there. Fairly light bodied with a good dose of sourness, although not as sour as some. Quite enjoyable overall.

tronraner’s Xmas Eve Eve Eve Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to tronraner. Bottle date Feb 23, 2006. Clean golden-honey yellow, acidic aroma, must, funk, horseblanket. Taste is musty, lemony, and big drying acidity.

thanks again to my bro for sharing this! Pours a cloudy straw color with thin white head that fades quickly. Aroma is of sharp funk, yeast, barnyard, and some fruitiness. taste is sour fruit, musty basement and yeast funk. Carbonation is nill which may work for some lambics, but not this one. Still, everything else works great.

Pours a yellow-gold color with a bubbly ring. Aroma is acidic, tart, horse planet. Taste is tart and acidic. It is very thin and watery-like which I dont care for. Otherwise, it is good tasting.

Bottle at Xmas Eve Eve Eve. Pours golden brass color with almost no head, but very nice legs. The mouthwatering aroma is sharp cheese, lactic acid, farm, and cellar. The flavor is light farminess, tart sourness, some light honeyish sweetness, cellar funk, and a dry, oaky finish. Delicious.
