WSF 2009. Cloudy orange with no head. Aroma had dark fruits. Flavour was mild spicy with again fruits, grass and herbal notes. Finished somewhat bitter.

(Draught) Pours a cloudy burnt orange body with no head. Aroma of mango, black currants, grass, and leaves. Flavor of black currants, leaves, light lemon, grass, and grapefruit juice with a dry finish.

A Mes rate. Barrel at the Weekend of Tarts.
Cloudy mid brown, looks like it really means business. Mixed fruit. Blackberry, black cherry, strawberry, just loads of fruit. Obviously the base De Cam lambic is fantastic too. Faint fruity acidity, amazingly dry. A stunning start to the day.

Tap @ WSF. Pours muddy orange and still. Aroma of tropical fruits (mango?) and maybe cassis. Taste is more mango and currants. Slightly tart and has a strange bitter lingering finish that I kind of enjoy. De Cam can do no wrong in my eyes.

Tap@WSF. Sweetish aroma with banana and tangerine. Cloudy, yellow colour, no head. Sweet, sourish, salty, very fruity, sticky mouth feel. Way too young but promising.

Draught No head, fully muddy, orange-ochre beer. Cassis/blackcurrant aroma very present, fruity, and severely dry-smelling. Dry, indeed. Again blackcurrant as flavour, woody, astringent, with dry-out effect. Superb fruitimpression, dry, with just a bit of astringent acidity but none too high. My guess is blackcurrant for the fruit.
