Thanks Lach for sharing this 2000 vintage bottle.
Poured a little bit flat, hazy golden in colour with not much of a head. Aroma of grapeskin, a decent amount of maltiness, and quite a bit of acidity and wet-blanket. The fuller maltiness shows in the mouthful, balancing the tartness interestingly. A bit of apple come through the flavours but it seemed too flat and lifeless to reveal too much more to my palate than a bit acidity in the finish.

Jun 2, 2008 Updated: Jun 3, 2008750ml bottle 2000 vintage consumed in Brugge (also had 2 year old draft at Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2008, which scored only 3.2)
Pours wheat colored orange with a small white head. Mild funky cheese and wheat in the nose, creamy and funky character all around, really well developed. Very mellow, and definitely more centered on the mild funk/feet/cheese than on fruit or citrus. Acidity is medium-low, the texture is very smooth and creamy and rich, and a small frothiness builds into a drying leather and peach rind finish. Very flavorful and rich, aged well. Dense nose, dense flavor.

May 29, 2008 Thx for another great tasting, Kim (beljohansen): golden amber, short head, notes of leather, grapefruit, barnyard and wood. Acid and sour, but not much. Missing some sparkling. short lasting aftertaste.
