First time I tasted this favourite and then I lost the rating. The times I’ve had it since I’ve always thought I had rated it – well, I had – so didn’t make a new rating. Doubtful it would make a 4.5 the second time around but definitely closer to 4.5 than 4.0.
Even the aroma is dry! Tarty outhouse and wild yeast. Flavourful, loads of acidity but I’d still have it as a session beer. My stomach would probably spring a leak, however. Some metallic tones (copper, iron?) in the dryness.
The head is persistent and creamy leaving good lace over the beatiful amber body.
Calls for some fitting food or snack but I’d never spurn it even if all by itself.

Aug 2, 2008 Bottle, bottled 1/2006. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head and lively carbonation. Aroma is quite funky (barnhouse, sour cheese). Flavor is super tart, of nice tart candies, oakiness. Just like other 3 Fonteinen beers, this is nice and tart and sour but not too acidic on the palate. For a lambic, it is extremely drinkable. Awesome beer!

Aug 2, 2008 Updated: Aug 4, 2008Bottle, bottled 01/06. Aroma of a funk: mild horseblanket, relatively fresh chesse, leather; light fruits: lemon, strawberry, melon, pear. Flavor has mellow tartness and some sourness up front, lactic acidity on the back end. Great stuff.

Jul 30, 2008 Ottima gueuze decisamente particolare per il suo stile, molto bilanciata con una discreta punta di amaro nel finale, ma comunque estremamente beverina.

Jul 26, 2008 375ml bottle. Hazy amber/orange color with a smallish head. Aroma of lemon and orange citrus and funky horse-blanket. Tangy/sour texture that finishes with a taste of fruity/apple sweetness.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle marked November 30, 2005. Pours with a large, rocky, off-white head covering a cloudy orange body. Aroma of pineapple, melon, orange, horseblanket and a buttery note. Taste is really, really, sour, with lots of citrus. Sourness gets a bit more tolerable after a couple of sips, and there is even a nice, light sweetness towards the end of the taste at the end of the glass. Duration is a bit short. Lightly fizzy and very very dry.
