Jan 20, 2008 1/20/08 Bottle, 2006.
Thick apricot body with an ample, slightly off-white head. Dirty, sour grape nose. Flavor is very barnyard and dusty: horseblanket, cheddar cheese, hay, vinegar, acidic, phenols and white wine. A nicely executed Gueze, lovely.

Jan 19, 2008 Bottle. Gold / straw yellow pour with some white head. Aroma is sour, citrusy, some earthy malt. The flavor is mostly tart malt, lemons, etc. What else am I supposed to taste besides lemons?

Jan 19, 2008 Bottle thanks to golubj. Aroma was very earthy, funky and sour. A bit of lemon and citrus. Flavor was pretty funky and sour. Not overly sour however. A good amount of acid and carbonation. Still not a big fan of the style; and for the style it was just ok.

Jan 18, 2008 bottle (april 2001 vintage according to the bottle)....semi-opaque orangey brown pour accompanied by a slightly off-white head....there’s a whole lot of funk in the nose which is great. a sharp lemony tartness are the highlights.....sour/tart level was pretty high in the flavor. some more of that barnyardiness and lemon character. finish was pretty dry and leaves the mouth wanting some more......i don’t think you can go wrong with this one if you are a sour-funk-head......i just tasted the girardin black last week and i jsut can’t get enough of these lambics!

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle 37,5 cl (bottled march 2005). Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head and a fresh apple aroma with some hints of yeast and lemon. The flavor is mainly sour, almost like drinking lemon-juice, but just enough to stay drinkable. Some bitter notes and apple and grapefruit too. My first 3 fonteinen and this one totally rocks!

Jan 9, 2008 Not bad. It was more effervescent than I expected it to be on the pour, but it dissipated quickly. The taste was good, with a good sourness. All around very drinkable, however it did lack the depth and complexity that really make gueuze a treat.

Jan 8, 2008 Dark mildly hazy gold with a persistent off white head. Lemon grass and light barnyard aroma. The flavour is largely barnyard with a lot of citric like acidity and some distinct lemon. Tart finish with a nice fine bubbly mouthfeel.
