Flaske: Nu er jeg normalt ikke pjattet med for sure øl, men denne sag blended i 2003 var outsstanding. Klar duft stald og funk. Flot orange klar øl med et flot skumhoved. Smagen er til at begynde med en kende for sur, men vokser langsomt på dig. Virkelig positiv overrasket.

bottle. pours a hazy yellow orange witha white head. really pleasant tartness. some lemon, sour grape, and funk notes. very good.

Pours out a translucent honey-orange colour with almost no head to speak of. The nose is extremely citric, with some suggestions of peach, and of course, that deliciously filthy barnyard funk, in all its tart, acetic, bretty glory. The flavour starts off with lemon rind, funky brett yeast and some super-sour and tart green apple. The finish is very salty with a lingering of barnyard/horse blanket dankness. White pepper and plenty of wood is present toward the finish. The mouthfeel is thin, crisp, and drying. The carbonation is appropriately prickly. The brightness from the one-year-old and the earthiness from the 3-year-old. Really intense, even for a gueuze!

Bottled on 1/17/06. Pours a hazy burnt orange with a prominent airy white head that steadily vanishes. It’s beautiful; it glows! Aroma of green apples, champagne grapes, and a bit of lemon. Lots of tart and sour citrus flavors with a hint of hops. It’s sort of hard to decipher any specific fruit. A dry and sour finish w/ some champagne grape flavor mixed in for the finale. The sourness lingers on the palate. This is a great spring, summer, or autumn beer.

Apricot pour with nice sticky white head. Nice fruity funk aroma. tart notes. peppery lemon spice. a bit of sweetness and a lot of tartness, especially at the finish. still retains some fruity characteristics though. not especially complex but has a great tart character and a nice smooth palate

Hazy apricot pour with small white head that dissipates slowly, leaving nice lacing behind it. Aroma is tart; lemon and some grapefruit notes combine with fermented apple and funk. Flavor is quite tart and sour, having notes of cider, and fermented berries. Palate is smooth and caressing with pillow like carbonation leaving a very dry finish.

Pours a hazy peach with a white head. Aroma holds fruity nectars, but in a definitely funky way. Flavor is also full of funk and fruit, with a long lasting and full flavor. Palate is impressive; massages the tongue with the tart fruity notes, but doesn’t overpower it as some lesser lambics do. Very nice brew.

Bottle at The Rover, Göteborg, shared with Gnoff and friends. pours hazy golden, white head. Aroma and taste, plenty of tartness with hints of fruits, lingering sweetness quickly overwhelmed by a sea of tartness.
