Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, vinegar, brettanomyces, and fruits as well as lighter notes of grapefruit and horseblanket. The flavor is acidic with notes of brettanomyces, malt, grapefruit, and horseblanket, leading to a tart finish.

UPDATED: MAY 25, 2009 From bottle, #08210, Papsoes blindtasting #36. Pours hazy orange with a huge white head. Dry brett-ish aroma. Orange fruity aroma too. Dry brett-ish flavoured, orange leather and slight vinegar. Dry, citric and orange fruity into the finish. Citric into the far finish.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Bottle # 08210. Pours a hazy amber golden with an off-white head leaving some lacework. Subtle tart aroma with some horse blanket touches. Medium body, astringent raw Bretty accents and vinegar, plenty of horse blanket. Rather sulphurous. Very Belgian in it’s sourness, but perhaps still a little young and raw. 010509

Bottled@Fonefan. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is distinctive 3 fonteinen and also some timmermans gueuze. As it warms up also the Cantillon sourness comes. Flavour is very wooden, sour fruity and apricotty. Once you get closer to the end of the bottle it gets more harsh grassy, sour wooden and dry. A very complex gueuze, which will probably mellow out through the years. But also very nice already now.

Bottle #36 at Papsø’s blindtasting. Hazy amber coloured with a medium sized white head. Light acidic aroma of barnyard and hops Light acidc flavour of barnyard, brett and hops. Tart and hoppy finish.

Bottled at PBF. hazy deep golden, lively head. Strong barnyard aroma. Citric and fresh. Very lively Lightly vinegary with plwnty of hay and barnyard. Lovely and complex. As good as you’d expect.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a small fast disappearing white head. Has a fruity tart citrus and grapefruit aroma. Fruity malty tart funky grapefruit flavor. Has a fruity tart finish with hints of grapefruit.

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2010 Bottle, 7%. Very nice earthy, citric aroma, smells like 3 Fonteinen. Hazy dark golden colour. Sparkling, leaving a small bubbly white head. High carbonation. The flavour is sweeter than expected, still nicely earthy. Good citric flavour, very well-rounded. Mild and pleasant. The carbonation is too high for me, the flavour gains a lot after the beer has been swirled around a bit. 8 3 9 3 20

UPDATED: JUN 9, 2010 75cl bottle @ WSF. Bottle # 3053. Pours a cloudy orange with a large fluffy foam. Tart cellar nose. A bit of sweet almond - very vague. Dry and crisp with a fine funky, tart and woody bite. Still very young and its clear to see and feel the potential it has to develop. Hope to taste it again in a few years. Re-Rating June 2010 @ Ma Che Siete, Rome. Aged amazingly. More sour, complex and tart. From 3,8 - 4,1
