2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very intensely vinegary and very sour/tart. But the finish is extremely dry. Pronounced cut grass notes. I’d try it again.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
the aroma had a slight vinegar, very winey quaility. it poured a cloudy apricot with a slight head that stuck to the side of the glass. less sour than many lambics, with a hint of fruit in all the mustiness. it drinks slightly oily. not a delight, but not offensive.
2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
1998 Vintage. An extremely huge and fluffy head kept erupting from the recently opened bottle enticing me to try some. However, when it was poured, it revealed a musty barn floor and dung-like aroma. (<a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=5 sitting next to me at the bar, chuckled and mentioned how aromas like that can come from non-violent strains of the e-coli virus. Great.) Overall this was sour and dry with a gassy finish and I simply wanted to forget about it.

1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Sampled in a beer tasting at Plan B, Copenhagen. Unique bottle from 1998. Again, this is just not my type of beer: terrible aroma and too acidic (sour!). Dry and with hints of lemon peel.
