| 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Apr 28, 2007 A brewmasters greatest hour - that is what this beer is. Mind-wrenchingly complex, one can sense its aroma from 15 meteres away. Beautiful in everyway, may it be the appearance, the balance, the winey character, the flavor of the Brett, or the everlasting finish. Should make the grand winemakers of Bordeaux, quiver in their sleep. (My highest rating as of yet.) Fukito (604), Buenos Aires, Argentina
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 21, 2007 Botte, April 07. Amazing, perfumey,enchanting, vinegar-stable aroma. Reminds me of my Cantillon brewery visit. Touches of lemon and hay. Shinny, almost clear, orange-golden color with swift carbonatation and a medium, bubbly white head. Flavor is amazing, fruit-tartness with just the right amount of balsamic and lemon, a slight gin tonesque prescence too. MF is light to medium, supremely refreshing and complex. Amazing, refreshing and sophisticated geuze. jason (1621), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 21, 2007 Bottle. Thanks to mcbackus. Corked read 11/06. Pours a hazy golden orange body with a nice thin head. Aroma is sour, barnhouse, lite citrus noted. Flavor is a dry sweet with a lite citrus feel, slightly sour with a medium carbonation and a distinct sweetness that danced on my tongue. For being such a young lambic this tastes very smooth. Leaves a syrupy mouthfel. Would love to see what 5-10 years would do. TBone (6740), Pori, Finland

Hazy orange color, small white head. Very fruity, sourish nose. Very fruity (orange, mango) flavor and of course lambic-like sourness. One of the fruitiest "sour and dry" lambics I’ve had. Very tasty. shp555 (1681), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 19, 2007 Pours a orange, peach color with a white head that dissipates very quickly. Aroma is lightly fruity with sour notes. Flavor is fruity with lots of sour notes, some woody notes. Great beer just not to my taste. masonjer (563), Holt, Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 12, 2007 Updated: Jan 26, 2009Pours a hazy orange with a quickly diminishing white head. Smells sour, fruity and musty. Taste is much the same. Really enjoyed it, but it was very hard to drink very much because it was quite sour.
Re-rate: had this again recently. From this being my first sour until now, I can appreciate the balance and maturity much more. Really great example of the style, roundess to the flavor profile that is unmatched in an everyday readily available gueze such as this. This stuff is just the go to standard in my book. downender (2578), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 10, 2007 375ml bottle from Hopduvel, Gent. Despite attempting to open it carefully, the cork ended up hitting the ceiling and over half the beer discharged into my lap. What was left was a hazy golden colour with a delightful sour rural aroma of green fruit, citrus and cider. Flavour was dominated by tart acidity with a refreshing spritzy lightness. Finishes with a light bitterness. Very refreshing and excellent. gnoff (3560), Göteborg, Sweden
