2008-10-03. Hazy orange amber body with a modest off-white head. (3+) Musty aroma, modest cherries, light sour tang, generic fruit notes. (6+) Flavour is moderately sour, fruity, some cherry that grows in the finish. Light bitterness and modest wood character throughout. (6+) Average plus palate is smooth. (3+) Okay, kind of interesting. Much more sour than I recall the Uniek being, but still more like a Flanders than say a bretty lambic. On tap at C’est What

Draught at C’est What. Pours a hazy bubbly amber with a spare lasting creamy head. Aroma: Well that’s oak-aged alright! Sweet with vanilla and oak. Flavour’s lightly sour along with oak and vanilla -- a bit watery. Average bodied. I found this just O.K.
