Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy sour, sour wood, moderate hoppy citrus - lemon, dusty hops, grape, tart - acidic, light barnyard. Initial flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and acidic, chlorine very shortly, finish flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and acidic with a long long duration, a dry finish. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20100328]

UPDATED: APR 18, 2008 Bottled at RBESG 2007. An unclear yellow beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of dusty hops and white wine. The flavor is acidic with notes of brettanomyces, white wine, and dusty hops.

UPDATED: DEC 8, 2009 (Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a hazy, pale golden - sort of Witbier look - with a gigantic shaving foam style white head. Lightly tart, citrusy and oddly chemical aroma. Medium body, fairly lively carbonation (that made this leak ever so slightly in spite of both cap and plastic coating). Tart, citrusy flavours and again this odd, chemical tang. Lightly acidic finish. This is more interesting than really good. 180907

37.5 cL bottle, thanks to fiulijn and thanks to Papsoe for another great tasting session. Pours hazy yellow with a little white head. Spiced and acidic aroma. Flavour is mellow wheaty, slight sweet rather than sour. Fruity. But the flavour does hold a slight acidic note. Dry and mellow finish.

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Cloudy golden, airy head. Grassy, tart abd cellary with notes of green apples. Dryish and soft, notes of apple skins and cobweb. Unusual and interesting, but does not lift to the levels of the top real lambics.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Hazy yellowish orange colour. Aroma is sourness, caramel malts, sugar and some spices. Flavour is sugary, quite sour wooden as well as some grassyness. Sour but also raher sweet notes all the way through.

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a medium sized white head. Light acidic aroma of fruits, wood and peaches. Fruity flavour of burnt plastic with acidic notes and notes of wood. Tart finish.

Bottle, 5.5%. Funky aroma, slightly citric. Orange juice colour, stable white head. Citric flavour, some lemon. A very nice, refreshing beer for a hot day.
