A very nice lambic with a good sour taste. Almost no head MrRomero (1934), Nolanville, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 16, 2008 33cl bottle: poured orange with no head at all and zero carbonation. Funk aroma with dirt, wood, and leftover ashtray cigarettes. A little pepper. Taste is flat, watery, a bit of funk and some sourness. Not 3F’s best offering. santos999 (318), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 13, 2008 Clear straw gold with no head and very sluggish carbonation. Lemony citric aroma. Big funk smell with apple, orange, plastic, grass, wet dog, and a nice earthiness. Pungent acidic with amazing lemon, apple, oak, and orange notes. Long, dry, tart, funk finish. Damn near still in the mouth, almost chewy. Super complex yet refreshing and drinkable. I’m sold!! BeerandBlues2 (3203), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear dark yellow with a spare, fizzy, white head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is average malt (bread, hay, straw, meal), average hops (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (barnyard, earth) with notes of wood, pepper, and coriander. Medium bodied, thin texture, flat carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. Toasted sesame notes. MrChopin (632), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Dark golden color, almost amber, no head. Nose is sour citrus and hay, some funky urea in the back. A little straightforward. Mouth is pretty flat and disappointing, almost watery. Acidic flavor and a little dusty, but very simple. Short lived palate, citrus outlasting the slightly creamy lactic notes and texture. Not very impressive in its lack of both complexity and aggression, but it’s still a lambic. vyvvy (2034), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Just another part of a string of great beers. Pours orange with very little head. The aroma is very sour, funky yeast, citric, lactic, smooth and malty with a touch of sweetness balancing the sour and a is a touch lemony. Medium smooth lush body with no carbonation. The flavor starts with the balance of maltiness, funky wild yeast and sourness. All are apparent, but none overpowers. There is also some tangy citrus. The finish is very tart and refreshing. Another big winner from 3 Fonteinen. Cornfield (4926), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 22, 2008 I picked up a 12.7 oz bottle of this at the Sam-apostrophe-s in Downers Grove, IL. It poured a golden amber body, clear and headless as advertized. The aroma was wet hay, a bleu cheese, some watered pink grapefruit juice, and potting soil. The flavor had more acidity than the nose suggested and a taste of vinegar was added along with some green grape skins. The finish was sour and dry but not overpowering. Nice.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Bottle from West Lakeview. Beer pours muddy orangey gold. No head, no carbonation, which I think hurts this one. Nose is a bit cheesy and barnyard, earthy and sour like vomit, but in a good way. Taste is much the same, a bit one dimensional, pretty sour, though nothing amazing. Okay.
