Jan 8, 2009 750 ml bottle opened at PP Strong Ale after hours. Light orange pour with bleach white head. Good carbonation with a pretty strong nose of funk and lemon. Very tart mouthfeel that almost feels like it sucks the moisture off your tongue. Flavor of fresh lemon juice, grapefruit, barnyardish funk, and a hint of honey at the end. Pretty damn good brew.

Jan 7, 2009 Capped and corked 0.375 l bottle my neighbor Zrinka brought from Brussels, thanks! 2006 vintage. Finally got my hands to an unblended lambic. It poured murky amber/orange body with medium sized head. Nice vinous aroma, seems so simple, but shows slight fruitness like citrus fruits and peaches. Sour flavor for sure, relatively complex with yeast being prominent, some fruitness again - peaches, white grapes. Also you can feel notes of oak barrels. Full body with for lambics usual, full carbonation accents fine acidity in the finish and makes it long. At the very end becomes rounded with malts and/or yeast. I pretty like it, but although I respect its complexity and quality, it’s a bit too wild for my taste and I had better lambics.

Jan 6, 2009 Capped and corked 750 mL bottle shared by Alraomon with myself and cdumler, who still doesn’t appreciate sour beers. Alas. 2005 vintage. Rust on the the cap. Pours a hazy bronze color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Very funky aroma of cheese, barnyard, pear and pepper. Veyr dry. The taste is also very dry and tart with notes of green olive, grape, grapefruit and funk. Spritzy, soft carbonation, syrupy mouthfeel, full bodied.

Jan 5, 2009 Updated: May 15, 20092004 bottle. Mmmmm....feet and lemon juice. Hazy blond. Lemon rind in the distance, not up front. Past it’s prime, the store I bought it from had it out of refrigeration, just sat it on a shelf. Still good. but not the monumental experience I first had with a 2004 bottle a year ago.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle shared at the Carolina Crew tasting by ucusty - thanks, David! Now this is my motherfucking kind of beer. Funk is its own reward. Big lustrous pour, a beer just waiting to be poured into a glass. Buoyant carbonation and a lovely aroma with wood, tartness, and flowers in abundance. Beautiful flavor, mellow but without sacrificing complexity, fruity but not at the expense of the wood or the tartness. Complex and drinkable at once, this is superb.
