UPDATED: FEB 1, 2008 Draught at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007
Very hazy brown body. Sweet aroma of citrus, hops, malts, with a dusty overlay. Lightly bodied, very sweet flavour with some bitterness. Weird, but not very good. Like drinking wort. Thanks to Frank Boon for providing this beer. It was unique!
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Ugly unclear murky brown body; Very buttery (tons of diacetyl), malty sugary sweet (like wort) quite unpleasant nose; Malty sugary body, thick unpleasant texture; Malty sweet sticky slightly bitter to long finish. Way drink this? For the fun, yes, but it wasn’t funny at all!

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2007 cask sample @ WSF. Was very excited to snag a sample of this. Opaque apricot colour, no head. Sweetish aroma of grass, malt and citrus with a hint of horse. Kinda smells like damp wood. Candy sweet sugar/treacle and orange in the taste. Watery, but decent body. Very strange, but interesting no less.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
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.

Draught. Tasted at the Festifal of Buggenhout 2007. Not really a beer yet but still a nice taste. And I agree with Joris. I think a once in lifetime experiience. Lucky enough the brewer brought special a sample from it so we could taste it
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
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!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
