4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
batch 52 at the Ginger Man. This has one of the most magnificent aromas I´ve ever smelled. Whole line of fruits and greaps, coutntry, outhouse, old smelly socks! Taste is very bitter for a lambic, sweetness in the finish. A bit woody, sugary, not very acid for a lambic, obvious vanilla and flowery. Exceptional and very very very underrated imho
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Tap, ZBF 2004. Hazy gold, no head and minimal condition. Excellent big leathery lambic notes in the nose, sweaty leather and a citric tartness in the mouth and a long dry funky finish laced with tannins.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JUL 13, 2005 [Draught] Dark orange coloured. Very refreshing with lots of grapefruit flavour. Notes of wood.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Barrel #59 @ Ebenezers. Pours a bold, bright golden-orange color; mostly headless; slightest viscosity. Huge amounts of tropical fruits, cantaloupe, honey, and very fresh, pitty raspberries in the aroma; huge amounts of generous raspberries with touches of Amarillo resininess. Relaxed carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel chewy, slightly pitty tropical fruits, mildly tart citrus, funk and touches of honey-kissed sweetness; very different from standard lambics: lively, lightly tart tropical fruits / raspberries, and herbal notes; fresh, pitty, and delightful. Medium finish: toasty malts, tropical fruits, and some lemony tartness and funk; very nice stuff.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2005 Keg @ Akkurat, Stockholm
Sold as "oude lambiek" @ 5.2% abv. Very dry and refreshing, surprisingly high CO2 content, though not over done. Fruits and berries linger in the aftertaste. Highly recomendable if you are into Lambics. Not a beer for muggles.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
From a wooden barrel at Zythos beer festival 2008. Clear deep golden with a few bubbles. Cidery aroma with green apples, leather, blue cheese, wood. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Dry with a subdued sourness.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JUN 24, 2009 2 years old. Bottle. Special procurement. Dark amber colour. Muddy. Loose head. Barnyard aroma and some foot. Earthy nose - lots of bugs and cheese. Very low carbonation. Earthy, funky, and ultra cheesy palate with a sweet & sour finish. Excellent balance, crazy funk. Very rustic and scrumpyish. 9-4-9-5-19 = 4.6
Re-rate: This sampel, from WSF, was hazy dark straw and flat. It was tart in the front turning sweet later. Cidery, with a grapefruity tartness. Fairly simple, dull lambic but remaining quite drinkable. Certainly not the same stuff showcased at CBC ’08. 6-3-7-3-14 = 3.3; rating is a blend of the two.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cloudy orange with no head. Complex aroma with funk, fruit, leather, wood and barnyard. Dry and funky flavour with a nice mild tartness.
