375ml bottle. Poured a dark yellow, nice white head. Funky, skunky aroma. Tasted pretty good though, slight sourness to it, not overwhelming.

Bottled(375ml). -from In de Wildeman.
Cloudy dark golden coloured, small to medium white head, lively carbonation, acidic nose. Very sour and acidic over-ripe apples, light wooden and mild yeasty taste with lingering sour and light sweet finish. Refreshing.

(37.5cl bottle, bottled 14.02.2004) Cloudy, orange colour with a dense, medium-sized cream-coloured foamy head. Moderately acidic and slightly dusty aroma with lemon zest and an almost ethereal spicy (estragon, pepper) note. Moderately acidic and bitter-tart flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Lemon-fruity taste with a mild Lambic-character; dry, moderately acidic and slightly bitter-tart finish. A mild and well-rounded Gueuze (24.08.08).

Bottle 2006: Pours a hazy deep golden orange with a creamy off white head. The aroma is super funk with a soft malt note in the back with subtle vanilla. Amazing funkiness with leather, farmhouse, horse blanket, acetic acid, rich old oak- just classic wild fermentation. Great fluffy body. The flavor starts with a musty basement note, along with horse blanket, leading to a citric acidity, cobwebs, cork, lemon-rind, a rounded, sharp, wheaty body, and an acidic finish with a late dryness. Has a touch of sweetness on the back when it warms. A quality Lambic with great funkiness and subtlety.

The aroma is sour with tart fruit, lactic bacteria, yeast, urine, wood, and sugar. The appearance is cloudy and copper with a small head. The flavor is tangy is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall not something I want again despite being complex and highly ranked here.
