Bottle at Maltzilla’s tasting shared by HonusWagner (I think). 2005 vintage. Pours hazy brownish yellow color with white head. Slightly fruity aroma with some sourness. Flavor is total sourness, not really getting any apricot. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Thanks Mike.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 15, 2011 2005 bottle thanks to Ryan Witter!
Unfortunately, this fulfills my concerns about fruit lambics and aging them; the beer lacks any discernible apricot flavor or aroma and just ends up tasting like unblended, extremely sour and lactic lambic. Still really good, but not as tasty as the fresh samples I’ve had.
4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
2010 375ml Japanese edition bottle shared with Weisguy & lamplighter for one of our small weekly tastings.
Served slightly chilled, a huge head appeared on a fast pour decanted into one glass to share between the three of us. Hard to tell how much sediment was left, but I would guess 1-2 ounces. Color was a light yellow with a gold hue up to the light with a couple tiny bits of sediment swimming around. Smell was sharp fruit and some vinegar. Described by Ari as "smelling a peach pit." Notes of peach and apricot skin were very evident. The taste was an intense combination of resiny sour apricot and fruity acidity, while much funk was almost nowhere to be found. Unnoticeable alcohol on the palate and finish, but a slight burn from the acidity was present. Mouthfeel was medium bodied and I’m sure it would have been a cinch for any of us to drink over a liter of this. I’ve had Fou’foune a few times (many courtesy of Weisguy), including a fresh 750 of the 2010 bottling, but this bottle stood out as nearly a whole nother beer than what I tasted before. Much more fruit on the nose and tongue, while the balanced acidity made for a very enjoyable lambic.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
My first lambic scoring. Got it at řlbutikkens reopening and bought a Bottle. Golden hazy brown. Citrus apricote rose aroma. Very well balance between the heavy sour taste and the bitterness. Long pleasant finish. This could be the start of a sour brew era.
