3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
03/08/2011 La Tana (375ml bottle). Ambrata chiara, con riflessi color miele, lievemente torbida, leggero cappello di schiuma biancastra, frizzante e poco persistente. Al naso è acida, con note agrumate, di pino e resina. In bocca è estremamente acida, con note astringenti, limone, pompelmo, cedro, pino, resina. Corpo medio, carbonazione un po’ soft per una geuze. Acida senza compromessi, non certo la migliore geuze che io abbia mai assaggiato.

Appearance is golden-amber with a small white head. Aroma is acidic, funky, green apple, cumquat, apricot, grapefruit. Tart and dry on the palate, reminiscent of a dry champagne. Slight bitterness on the finish. Taste is vinegar, green apple, sour grapes. Very interesting but best in small quantities.

Pours yellow with a small white head. Nose has grassy earthiness and sour grapes with some lemon. Flavor is sour through out with some bitter and sweet mixed in a different parts of the taste. Super complex. Mouthfeel crisp, clean and has an aftertaste that hang on for a while.

Looks very appetizing in the glass, golden like sparkling apple juice. Aroma of funky apples and yeast. Tasty tart and tangy with a dry bubbly finish. Overall, I really dig the tangyness on the tongue. It’s very refreshing. Thanks Hopper for sharing.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2012 Bottle @ Tap and Mallet: Pours a slightly cloudy gold. Tons of funk in the nose. Super funky on the palate. Wow. This blew me away. Wow. Insane.

37 cl bottle [bottled in Dec 2010, 13 months old] during happy hour. My first full bottle of lambic ever [had tasted a bit of Girardin’s Black Label before but this is better]. Pours a clear, deep golden liquid with a thick but not persistent white head. Aroma of green apples, very delicate, almost no trace of the vinegary sourness that will follow. Taste is aggressively acidic, vinegary at first, then it gets more tame. A little fizziness, just the right amount to make it a lively, refreshing drink. Long, balsamic finish, some apples still present. A masterpiece, even though this is not a usual drink for me.

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. Appearance is a hazy dark gold with a thin white head that dissipated quickly and left little lacing. Aroma is tart like green apples. Taste is tart, drying, and fruity. This beer reminds me a great deal of Granny Smith Apples.
