deflagro (13), Lund, Sweden Nov 10, 2009 Yellow, cloudy liquid with a small head. Smell almost like a lambic; sour and musty with notes of apple peel. Taste has notes of yeast, orange peel and some bitterness like a tripel, but also a distinct sourness with musty notes of apples like a lambic. Aftertaste is quite weird with a yeasty bitterness combined with the sourness from the lambic. Interesting, but not completely successfull blend. xpimptastikx (41), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 3, 2009 Finally found a bottle of this on my Belgium trip at the Alvinne bottle shop.

A - Pours a slight hazy golden color with 1/2" white head that recedes to leave a web, then hardly any carbonation at all.
S - Funk, bready yeastiness, and sweetness from the blonde it was blended with.
T - It gets pretty interesting here. Starts with sour and vinegar that evolves into a dry sweet taste that stays with you for a second. Definitely not like any other beer I’ve had before. It gets a lot better as it reaches room temperature as well.
M/D - What an awesome blended beer. Incredably drinkable for a 10.5abv "sour", much more than a bottle of Vin De Cereale. The lambic blends perfectly with the blond creating something that I wish I bought more of! faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands Oct 10, 2009 Botella, thanks to Skinnyviking. Hzy goldenish colour. Sweet pleasant mild fruity aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet and fruity with a pleasant mild sourness and bit of spice.
