Draught @ 16th Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2007, Optal. Hazy amber / orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is fruity, sweet, wood. Flavor is moderate sweet and acidic with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

[ZBF 2004] The aroma lovely; sour as it should be with notes of metal. The color is an unclear orange-brown and it has no head. The flavor is sour in the beginning, but the sourness fades fast to more normal notes of grapefruit and the less pronounced notes of the wild fermentation. A somewhat boring lambic.

ZBF2008: From cask. Pours slight hazy orange with no head. Aroma is mild woody, slight acidic and dry. Flavour is smooth and fruity, slight dull but flavourwise nice and smooth. Ends light and mild fruity, minor apple like note.

Golden to pale orange in colour, and really cloudy. Aroma of horse blanket. rather tart and slightly funky. Complex, yet refreshing and balanced.
