3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml. bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aromas of dark berries and yeast. Flavors pretty much the same. Balanced sour finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Murky brown colour very sweet and sour with wild lambic tones reminds me of a drinkable (ie no added sugar) lindemans faro, slightly funky with caramel berries and grapes. Excellent.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
Had two different samples of this flag ship of Liefmans - 1 of 1996-is and 1 fresh one i.e. pre- and post-Duvel Moortgat status. First was in the cellar of Chez Moeder Lambic offered by Jean himself - thank you! This ones pours brownish red with no head. Aroma is intesne cherry and cassis, with subtle port and vinious notes. Taste is strawberry juice all over: fruity sourness and nice caramel sugar base. This was a great beer to hold on to... This one would be a decent 4.6/5
However, the new version is only caramel, very bland and filtered/pasteurised to hell.... Shame! This is 2.1/5.

4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Brune sédimentée, odeurs atténuées de balsamiques et cassonnade.
En bouche, cacaco-balsmique-framboise... apparemment chaque cuvée est différente, celle-ci en est une bonne! Douce-amer, presque pas d’effervescence, arrière-gout subtilement aigre.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a cloudy dark brown with minimal white head and no lacing. Aroma of sour plums, dark fruits, smells very sour. Taste is better than expected, burnt sugar, dark fruits, some acetic notes but not agressive, good balance between sweetness and sour. Medium body and low carbonation. really enjoyable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reddish-brown colour+thich, dark-beige head, small subsidences in the liquid. aroma: sour, mushroom, geuze, cognac and some jam-filled cookies. Taste is also sour, champagne- or wine-like, a bit dry-yeasty-sour taste stayes on the tongue.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Head: beige, small, frothy, poor retention. Colour: dark amber-brown and clear with large floating chunks.
Aroma: wild yeast, wine, vinegar, bit of dried fruit. Taste: wine acidity balanced by a bit of mild sweetness. The after-taste is astringent, tannin.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Geuze-aroma. Tan foam. Dark red/brown color. Nice sour taste and a little bitter. Complex & great!
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
this is a rating of a bottle from 1987, so 26 years after its production datequite a lot of light beige head that disappears quickly. dark red-brown beer. sweet smell but not many aromas. sweet taste and sweet aftertaste with some porto, caramel. the sour taste of a fresh goudenband is not there anymore. although an interesting experience, i wouldn’t drink it again. 75 cl @ kulminator / notes from backlog
