Jul 16, 2002 Kind of strange really, very sour yeasty aroma, with hints of parsley, lemongrass and flowers. Quite sour and then bitter, with a grassy earthy flavour, complex and different.

Sep 8, 2002 Updated: May 9, 2008Bottle (750mL, 2004 bottling). Head is initially small, fizzy, off-white, fully diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow to light amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, grass), moderately yeasty (cheese, barnyard, cobwebs), with notes of pear syrup, cask wood, and sour apple, hint of honey. Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, heavily acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately to heavily acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety/watery texture, lively carbonation, moderately astringent. Interesting, like a little bit of golden ale splashed into a tank of lambic (definitely more lambic than golden ale).

Sep 12, 2002 Updated: Nov 3, 20032001: The aroma is the only great aspect of this beer; It boasts fresh, round floral hop, a little spice, and some earth and iron. Straw-like flavors prevail one dimensionally. Texture is soft along with being typically acidic and dry; tiny bubbles. Back throat bitterness lingers and astringency cuts like a knife. Not quite up to the Cantillon standard.

Jan 30, 2002 This beer tastes like a dry, sour-apple white wine that’s rustic orange in color. This is a very unique type of brew and I somehow enjoyed drinking this Belgian even though I’m not a big fan of Belgian beers. One drawback about this beer is at $14 per 25.4 oz. bottle it will burn a hole in your wallet.
Otherwise a very good beer indeed!

Jan 15, 2005 Pours a lite yellow with an extremely lively carbonation and a champagne-like head. Mild horse aroma with some funkiness and hop sack aromas. Earthy and not on the level of say limburger, but close. An extremely lite and dry, yet soft palate. Oh so sour and dry to the bone. Almonds and vanilla are also present but are very hard to find under all that bretta. If this is too dry try the rose de gambrinus.

Vintage 2003. This was my first unblended lambic so I don’t have something to compare it with. Pours a light hazy orange colour with small white head and fruity nose. Very sour fruity taste at least similar to gueuze (or I’m wrong?), but I’m not sure about other things.
Besides Marko and myself, this beer was tasted by my parents and
girlfriend, so here are their comments:
girlfriend-tastes like cider with very tart greapfruit juice
mother-tastes like very sour green apple juice with notes of currant
father-he eloquently said "F..K" with disgust grimace on his face
So till next unblended lambic...

Jul 2, 2008 Vintage 2000 bottle shared by Mary. Poured a hazed gold. The aroma was dry and dusty overall but with a definite tartness. Light on the funk with some citrus on the base. The flavor was tart and acidic with notes of citrusy lemon. Funk was there but again leaning toward the softer side. Light-medium bodied.
