Olivier_MTL (712), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 6, 2006 Couleur dorée, apparence claire et filtrée, mousse blanche tachetée de nature plutôt persistante. Vieux chêne mouillé, herbage fané et acide lactique disproportionné tentent de masquer les arômes, moins propres, de vieilles de poche de patate longuement oubliées dans un coin de la chambre froide poussiéreuse. Acidité prononcée sous des saveurs légèrement maltées, boisées, citronnée ainsi que celles des sucres non-fermentés. Finale sèche, carbonatation très active et piquante. Ne semble pas être un produit 100% lambic. Bouteille 37.5 cl, Délirium Café, Décembre 2005.
bhensonb (2832), Woodland, California, USA Jun 4, 2008 37.5 cl. bottle; corked and caged. Orange tinged gold color with a multifinger off-white head. Smells like funk and citrus. It is quite lactic, has funk, and is acidicly citrus. Puckers the mouth a bit. Body is near medium with prickly carbonation. Could be a touch of that oak vessel in the finish. Theis (2018), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 30, 2008 Bottle at home - bought in Brussels. Cloudy straw yellow - white head. LIght sourness, barnyard, fruity, sweetness, sugar, lemon, grape, light acid, soft bobbles, light carbonated. Nice. JoeinUccle (658), Brussels, Belgium Apr 30, 2008 A fine, refreshing and accessible gueuze that’s more classy than funky. 75 cL bottle pours a semi-hazy muddy orange color, decent off-white. Nose is lemony, with notes of must and herbs. Not that barny to me. Taste is moderately tart and lemony with a light, reasonably acidic bitterness and musty, earthy backdrop. Light, spritzy and dry. Looked handsome in a champagne flute and made a nice aperitif paired with some goat cheese. hopscotch (4433), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Mar 5, 2008 Bottle... Hazy golden ale with a mid-sized, fluffy, white head... diminishes slowly to an everlasting, small, creamy white head. The aroma is “everything barnyard” with an additional note of sharp cheese. Medium-bodied and very creamy with lively carbonation. Too sweet and well-rounded for the style. It’s missing the heavy acidity and rough-around-the-edges characteristics that I normally enjoy most about this style of beer. Moderately sweet, bitter and acidic... too much balance for me. Lengthy tart and bitter finish. A shout goes out to ygtbsm94 for floating this one across the pond for me to try! bager (2027), Copenhagen N, Denmark Feb 13, 2008 Bottled. Hazy deep golden coloured with a rather small fizzy head. Very nicely balanced with notes of barnyard, citrus and vinegar. Kinda smooth.
