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

Bottled, thanks ante! Cloudy pale golden, no head. Wonderful aroma of cobweb and barnyard. Sweeter than exoected, yet dry of course. nearly no carbonation. Medium bodied with a citric edge. Creamy malt together with stale grassy hops and barnyard. Very good, but I lack some complexity and acidity compared to the very best bottles I had from 3 Fonteinen.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of Grovlam. Hazy golden with a small, white head. Sharp, vinegary nose. Medium body with sourish Brett accents and soft balsamico. Rather low in carbonation. Distinct yet still rather harmonious gueuze. 191207

37.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a minimal diminished white head. Aroma holds a mild barnyard, slight yeasty and quite mellow aroma, nothing sharp. Flavour is quite clean, acidic with a mellow citric note. Ends with a nice woody note. Very soft brew, smooth and pleasant - perhaps also a bit too lazy.

Bottled (thanks papsoe!). Golden colour, basically no head. After yeast goes in hazy dark golden/nutbrown colour. Aroma is barnyard, very much sourness as well as some wooden notes. Flavour is dry sour fruity and woodenness along with some mild grass and even a bit vanillaish notes. Some slight acidic sourness stays in the aftertaste. Very nice. Gets more barnyardy and earthy after the yeast is poured in, which also takes away some of the sharp sourness. I like this one better with the yeast in. Numbers for rating are given after yeast is in. Without yeast about 3.7.
