COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is strictly speaking NOT a commercial beer. It is a third running of the lambicmalts, used for blending purposes in order to make faro and kriek. Frank Boon still does it the old way, and consented to have this served, for beerenthusiasts' interest, on the Bierpallieters' festival.
DISCLAIMER: This beer is, repeated, NOT a commercial beer. It is effectively more worts than beer. So, it makes very little sense to claim this beer is not "good", etc.

Starker Karamellgeruch. Milder Antrunk, ein leichtes Karamellaroma ist präsent. Wässrig-süß, etwas getreidig, eigenartig. Wasserabgang mit leichtem Hopfenaroma, weiterhin gut erkennbar mit Karamellnote. Interessant! Test vom 29.5.2007, Gebinde: Fass Noten: -,9,9,9,-,9 - 9,00

A very interesting brew! a clouded blond beer. Milder than a lambic, lesser in alcohol, more watery in taste at the beginning, but great malty aftertaste. Super!

A lower alcohol versions of his regular gueuze, Pierre was seving this one from two different oak barrels during the opening weekend. One was 2 months old and the other was 1 year. The youngster was bright cloudy yellow with a medium large bubble head that settled quickly. Aroma was lemon, taste was sweet. The 1 year had a few bubbles, hazy, an aroma of lemon rind and both lemon and grapefruit in the taste. Very easy drinking.

The reviews below are of the beer tasted young. I tasted a 4% version -- it was a private tasting and I’m not going to say where -- which had been matured for a year in refill Bordeaux barrels, again intended only for blending, and it was now a proper lambic rather than a wort. More or less dead flat, pale yellow, with a very grapefruity, slightly agricultural aroma, lightly perfumed with a pineapple note. A tart and sourish but very refreshing and not oversour palate had mild light grapefruit, a bit of straw and some lambic complexity. A lightly milky, very refreshing tangy mellow finish with perhaps a hint of nuts, and slightly sugary later on. Stuff like this would have been served to farm workers in the region a century or so ago -- the dialect name is one of those beer names meaning ’March’, cognate with German ’Marz’ or ’Märzen’ -- and it certainly would have hit the spot after a thirsty spring morning in the fields.

Hazy brown of color, no head. An aroma of caramel and chocolate. A flavor with notes of caramel and sweets, hints of thin chocolate. Not sour.

WOSF 07’ Muddy brown with no head. Weak caramel aroma, lots of DMS and signs of heaps of other nasties, its actually quite horrible. Weak, muddy feel in tho mouth... lots of worty sweet caramel and butter. This stuff was pretty bad, but credit to Frank for letting us taste a bit of history.

Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 07. Nose is lots of caramel, not much else. Some honey & sweetness. Flavor is butter caramel, butterscotch. Blah.
