Bottle shared by Bill at the Philly tasting. Cloudy yellow pour with a white head. Stank ass feet aromas. Sour with citrus notes and some vanilla and oak from the barrels. Medium acidity, medium body, with wonderful balance. Had this side by side with Crianza and LH12. It might be my favorite of the three.

Bottle. Pours an unclear golden with a white head. Smells of horse blanket, barnyard, sour Brett. Tastes sweet, smooth, and sour. Very well blended.

Flaska på Akkurat - Stockholm 2011 Lite diskret doft. Aning spritig och söt. Inte mycket syrlighet och även frukten är borta. Ganska strev och torr vätska

Bottle at Akkurat, January 2012. Vintage 2007. Hazy golden with a small white head. Pleasant , rather soft sour aroma with oak, cognak and fruit. Tha taste was sour, but not extremely sour. Dry with grass, citrus some apples and oak. Also notes of "Cognac". This was an interesting and rather complex beer. Not as tasty as Cantillon Reed Gueuze Pinot Noir that we drank the same night but still very good.

750 ml bottle @ Akkurat on December 16. Bottled 2007 and stored in their basement. Pours hazy golden with a small creamy white head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace. Smell is sour with a clear cognac character to it. There’s also green apples, vanilla, gastric acid, farmyard, leather and hay. Taste is dry, sour, slightly sweet and slightly bitter with cognac, apples, grass, vanilla, wood, hay, pears, gooseberries and slight hints of cacao and oxidation. Carbonation is low. Finish is very dry, tart and slightly bitter with cognac and gooseberries. Being a big fan of cognac and lambic I find the two marry perfectly in this beer. It’s intense, complex and amazing.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2012 Bottle at Akkurat. Stockholm, 30th September 2011.
Sourish and quite sweet aroma of hay, barnyard, sweat, and oak. Beneath that fruity and sweet notes of syrup, pears, apples and vanilla. The brew is smooth and soft but quite light bodied. Some flavours of age and light oxidation. Apples, some sour tart but not the normal funkiness. Some alcohol coming through in the taste together with more vanilla and wood. Very interesting!

Bottle @ DRBM. A clear golden colored beer, with a small white head. The aroma of some sour with fruits and brandy. The taste is a little grassy and some sweet moving to sour, with notes of wood. The aftertaste is some sweet with sour.

75cl Bottle at DRBM. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma is light sour, funky, cognac, light fruity. Flavour is light sweet, light sour, obvious cognac barrel ageing, sour finish with some grapes. Light bodied. Not bad for a Gueuze.

Looks delicious, tiny head. Dimmed yeast, funky, grass and sour apples. Really sour, crisp. Refreshing but no easy drink. (DRbM 2011)

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2011 Bottle @ drbm. Aroma is funky fruit, brett and some dust. Flavour is smooth blueberry fruit, quite smooth.
