750ml corked bottle, 4 years old or so in the bottle. This is an excellent example of a Lambic. Murky, orange-amber color. Sweet, tangy, and tart flavor. Funky farmhouse hay and brutal green apple sourness. It has mellowed in some respects, a little more creamy, but is still in absolute top form and could be aged for several more years. Cider like in some respects. Tons of intense citrus flavor notes. A classic.

Aug 31, 2008 (37.5cl bottle, ca. vintage 2000) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a medium-sized cream-coloured foamy head. Moderately acidic, dusty citrus-fruity aroma with notes of lime and hops, accompanied by a woody and barnyardy accents. Sour and bitter-tart flavour, light to medium bodied, with a medium carbonation. Acidic fruity taste with primary notes of grapefruit, lime; dry and sourish tart and slightly bitter finish with woody notes and a moderate length. A classical, not too offensive Gueuze (24.08.08).

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a cloudy peachy-orange with a thin, white head that lingers. Sour aroma, of fruit and a little yeasty. Sour taste starts strong then fades into a sweeter fruitiness. Lingering vinegar taste. Tasty.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a bright yellow-orange hue similar to the color of the bottle and neck wrapper. very nice looking hue with a thin filmy white wispy head. Tart, sweet, lactic sour nose. Effervescent, dry and sour on tongue. Flavor of sweet fruits overrun by wood and grass tart sour. SOUR! Wonderful Lambic! Great with sharp cheese. I loved it!

Aug 15, 2008 Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with white head that fades to foam and leaves a little lacing. Smell is barnyard, hay, horse blanket, tart lactic, and musty grain. Taste is musty dirt and grain, lemony tart, and slightly sweet, underripe green apples. Extremely dry, fizzy carbonation. Great ( yet sadly only real gueze or lambic in Texas).
