This one I had from the cellar of Joris - it was from the beginning of the 80’s - so around 20 years old when sampled. The color is an orange-brown and it has a thin head. The aroma is very sour - as a gueuze should be. The flavor is lovely sour with notes of metal and lemon on a rather dry background. This was really a treat Joris pulled out - thanks a lot, Joris.

37.5 cL bottle at DHVL, 1993. Pours clear and pale yellow with a small white head. Vague aroma of light brett and mild barnyard notes. Acidic and dry flavoured. Solid citric sour bite. Makes me shiver. Lovely lasting citric/sour bite into the far finish.

Bottle, 5.5%. Good citric aroma, lemony with a little clean mold. Clear dark golden colour. Nice stable white head. The flavour is obviously citric, very clean. Some lemon and a tiny hint of cellar. Hurts my throat a bit.

Horseblanket, tart apples, complexity? Did I get that right? Does de Troch actually make a good, traditional lambic? Wow.
