2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008. 2 years old. Cloudy yellow wheat colored body. Huge prickly hay flavor, acetid and sharp. Buttery popcorn and peanuts in the middle just destroy any positives this one has. Arcid peanuts and yeast dominate... ugh.

Tap@SpontaneousWeekend08. Aroma of banana and oak with a hint of vinegar. Cloudy, yellow color, no head. Sweet, banana, sour, hint of vinegar, some oak. Quite young, lacks complexity, I’m not impressed.

Nice clean Geueze not spectacular but woth seeking out. I think it is only available on tap in the lambic region of Belgium and is very hard to find. light citrus nose with a very balanced tart horseblaket bret.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
(4 years and 4 months old - aged IN the breweries' pipes). Hazy, orangey colour. Slight white head. Superb maderisation. Nose of vintage Burgundy, 'horseblanket', citrussy, peppery, woody. Lemon-like acidity. Something sticky (I think it's my tooth plaque coming loose from me teeth). Extreme dry-effect. Lipsmacking left-over citrussy acidity in the aftertaste. Mind-blowing age( brewery-conditioning!) for this beer. Result is fabulous.
