Had on draft at the Dilly Deli. Bottled in Feb. of 2006. Thanks for the suggestion, Peanut! May be my beer of the year in 2009. Light amber in color, cloudy with an aroma of serious funk and flavors that are overwelmingly tart with that funky, musty, yeasty flavors of a master Gueuze. This beer was definitely aged in oak, was crisp and refreshing and had flavors that lingered on the palate for a long time! A killer beer.

Poured from the 750ml dated 07 Dec 2006.... Poured a slightly hazy copper hue with just a film of foam that dissipates quickly. Aromas are funky basement with hints of musk, sour fruit and a bit of old hay. The palate follows suit with complex flavors of sour fruit and basement funk but has a really nice lingering finish with a touch of that oak to round out the sourness towards the end. Great Stuff not Cheap... Id buy more !

Clear orange amber with little head. Big, dry woody, lemony, barnyard aromas, lots to smell here. Nice acidic burn for the mouthfeel. Searing dry flavors of parched earth, old wood, with acidic lemon; nicely complex. Simply, incredibly, a fucking awesome brew. 3 Fonts out did themselves yet again.

Bottle from De Bierkoning in Amsterdam. Interesting that after 6 days in Belgium, at all the best stores. the only place I could find this was Holland.

Pour has a little bit of head; it certainly wasn’t still, as the description may have you believe. Aroma is the tartest sour hay, funky as hell and very inviting. Taste is similar, with a perfect sourness and brilliant mouthfeel, rich and refreshing going down like no lambic I’ve ever had. Tough to even have some left to rate as my sips are so huge. This stuff is fantastic, and I hope it becomes a staple beer in their lineup. Since the re-opening under Armand, the gueuze simply hasn’t stood up to the old stuff, but this really makes up for that in a huge way. Bring this baby stateside!

Bottle, 37,5 cl; bought @ Willems, tasted yesterday at home. Dark golden (little hazy) color, almost no head. Aroma very sour, malts. Medium body. Taste also good sourness and very nice mouthfeel, refreshing; dry, but really great stuff.

12.7 oz Bottle, 2006 vintage. Aroma hit me as soon as I cracked this amazing beer. Sour Yeast, tart candy apple, good vino. Zero head, minimal lacing. Taste and smell was insanely similar to Cantillon 1900 Bruocsella which I love. Oranges and lemon combine on top of soft creamy antique oak/cedar notes for an overall flavor that melts on the tongue. This beer was a restrained, drinkable lambic that didn’t have too much pucker which I enjoy sometimes. Awesome.

2010 Vintage 375 ml. bottle @ home purchased from Beer Planet – bottled on 01/12/2010: pours a lovely golden, hazy orange peach colour with surprisingly enough a pretty solid white 3F head, albeit a touch smaller than usual, the smell is just yummy, I am getting lambic here, lots of tart & very fruity lemons, musty hay, barnyard funk, yummy, taste is a bit odd because this isn’t as much flat as on its way to becoming flat, like someone opened a bottle of cola & left it out for an hour or so, it is very comparable to that, sweet, mellow delicious acidity, it is definitely sour & acidic but in an extremely mellow & easy going way, hay, barnyard funk, mellow acidic funk, lactic in its finish, tart lemon, malt sweetness & sweet lemons underneath, tastes exactly as it was meant to be 3F gauze ingedoesjelt or rather on its way to falling asleep, I love this because it is so damn fun & easy to drink, you cannot sip this, I had almost difficulties not chugging this, I need litres of this stuff, very interestinig as well

Bottle shared by eyedrinkale at Spuyten Duyvil. Hazy golden with a beautiful rich earthy, musky cologne aroam. Rich and quite fruity as well. Woody aroma, sandalwood, musk, and soft bretty funkiness. Very soft tartness with a light orange marmalade character. Wow... this stuff is delicious.
