2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 thome50 (200) - Boringville aka Irvine, California, USA - SEP 10, 2011
2003 vintage on tap at Beachwood Sour Fest 2011. Pours a muddled and hazy orange color with no head. Aroma is slightly funky with very little else to speak of. Taste is very bland with some mild sourness, some sweetness that last through the entire taste and then abruptly ends with you being left wanting more. Overall this is a big disappointment. A very bland lambic that has very little going for it.

Tap @ Engelbewaarder. Hazy golden color, short head. Very soft fruity aroma, hint of barnyard, only slightly tart, soft hop. Bit sweet for a lambic, slight tart only, slight bitter. Quite smooth, not that acidic. Very easy to drink.

On tap @ Engelbewaarder. The aroma is a bit yeasty, has somehorseblanket, citrus, some apple. Hazy, yellow coloured beer with almost no (white) head. The taste is light tart, little sweet, quite refreshing. Smooth Lambiek. Nice!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 31, 2011
On tap at the brewery. It’s a semiclear, dark golden beer with some white bubbles. The aroma is vinegarish and citric, with hints of leather and alcohol. It’s rather thin on the palate, dry and slightly warming, making me think it might be stronger than 6 %. Citrus, leather and acidity in the flavor. Overall, a nice, quite quenching and easy drinking beer, but somehow a bit boring. 110501

Bottle at the brewery. Golden-orange colour with some bubbles. Aroma is dry, yeast, sourness. Flavour is dry, yeast, sourness, apple. Nice/OK beer.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 22, 2011
From bottle @Brouwerij Frank Boon, Lembeek. Near-clear, bright orangey yellow body, with a few tiny bubbles on top. Dry, acidic apple-cider-ish aroma. Some stale cheesy hops, and notes of horse-sweat and manure(!)
Taste is dry and has a sharp acidity without being very fruity. Quite bitter, notes of sour grapes and unripe apples. Dry, funky and light sour ending. Quite unusual, but an exciting experience.
