Bottle: Poured a clear orangey color lambic with a huge slightly off-white head with excellent retention. Aroma of barnyard and sourness is quite evident. Taste is so well balance between sourness, tart, little bit of acidity, green apple with some nice funky yeast also thrown in. Probably one of the finest Lambic that I had the chance to try and the fact that the acidity is lower then Cantillon makes it easier to drink larger quantity.
Re-rate 2006 (bottle date 1999): Complexity in this beer is just incredible (farmhouse, horseblanket, oak, tart) and appearance is just perfect (huge foamy head with perfect retention) Can really ask more from a gueuze.

Oct 4, 2008 Denne er 99 udgaven. Uklar med et lille hvidt skum. Grapefrugt, stikkelsbær, eddike, dejlig sur og stikker lidt på tungen. Intet kulsyre. Dejlig og lækker.

Sep 29, 2008 Sample at J Gumbos Aug 2008 Indy tasting - Didn’t see the age, but was a 375ml so probably newer. Aroma is funky, horse blanket, oak and a touch of spice. I could keep my nose in there all day. Flavor starts off in the barn with hay, straw and horse followed by some sour grapes and grapefruit. Spice from the yeast shows up as well. Palate is tart and dry as well as tart and dry. Very nice stuff that I need to get a bottle for myself.

Sep 27, 2008 2001. pinkish hued cloudy gold with awesome lacing under a huge sudsy soapy head. black pepper, sour peach, brett, maybe even some banana notes in aroma. flavors of white grape, vinegar, acid, sour peach, brett, and a hint of the peppery spice from the aroma. nicely aged and mellowed. not sure if its the aging but i really like this one.

Sep 21, 2008 An easy drinking geuze, sessionable stuff. Somehow reminds me of Noilly prat which is good since I really like that stuff. Nicely sour, not rewiring your tastebuds after one bottle. Never thought I would find a beer with a vinegary nose this drinkable but we do live and learn.

Sep 13, 2008 Dark golden colour, small white head. Well carbonated. Aroma is earthy, smells of barnyard, leather and medicine. Flavour has sour fruits, mostly apple. Finishes bitter-dry. Not my favorite style, but I can appreciate this one.
