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

375ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellowish orange color topped by only a thin white film even with a vigorous pour. The aroma shows hints of soured apples, lemons, barnyard funk, and a weird burnt rubber smell. The flavor followed suit with the soured apples and lemons mixed with the funk, and more weird rubber tastes. I believe the yeasts have started to each other to cause this. Medium bodied and pretty low on carbonation but still drinkable and refreshing. I had high hopes for this one, but was a little disappointed. I hope to try a better bottle next time.

Pour looked like dehydrated urine with less head. Nose was an oddly smooth funkiness, not harsh, slightly horse, some feint vinegar notes, and some slight lemon. Taste was good, the low carbonation was quite nice, started with some nice bright citrus notes, fineshes with a slight vinegar flavor.

bottle @ WTF OMG! Poured a flat orange. Nose is burnt rubber, autolysis, sour grapes, apples, acetobacter, plum and cheese. Flavor was very very funky, loads of rubber, latex powder, ripe plum, stinky horse blanket, sweaty. Rubber was overwhelming.

Bottle from Toronado S.D. Shady orange color, almost no head, some white bubbles. Acidic, horse blanket, some grass scent, still rather subtle. Acidic to sour taste, stables, rather fresh. Smooth yet flat mouth feel, works for this one though.

Very nice, poured near still and somewhat chilled. Tart but not overwhelmingly so. Some hop and wood coming through. Very enjoyable and quenching.

Bottle from capones. Poured a yellow color with no head at all. NIce sour funkey acid smell. Taste is nice and sour with lots of citrus and yeast. This would have been awsome if it was alittle carbonated but it was still very good.
