2007 lambic from a plastic barrel in The Rake. Clearish gold colour. God this was good. The right level of funk, acidity but really smooth as well and would happily have drunk this all night. Based on Girardin apparently.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From cask at the blender’s place. Said to be a four year old, brewed at Girardin, fermented and stored at Hanssens. It’s unclear and golden-orange, with some bubbles but more or less flat. Lemon notes and cellar hints in the aroma. A bit weak, but nice. The flavor has grapefruit like sourness as well as cellar, lemon and barnyard. Quite smooth on the palate, although on the sour side. Dry, grapefruity finish. A nice beer to start the day with. 110501
