Not for Lambic purists...but for those unfamiliar with the genre, this is a good starter ale.
Pours hazey- golden-red with a smallish cap that laces well
Aroma od musty burlap, herbs and sweetness.
Tastes like a well blended gueuze but the sweetness is a tad annoying..it has all the musty-earthy tones and herbal balance from long boil aged hops and the tart dryness of a lambic but the added sweetness seems phony.
No reason to discount this as a serious lambic blend...but it is best suited to turning on your wife or friends to this style.

Oct 7, 2008 Tasted a long time ago, pre ratebeer, so to be fair I’ve marked it as bang in the middle. My notes just tell me it was "An okay gueuze" says it all really!!!!

Horse-blanket aroma. Quite watery. Gentle taste, very musty and sweaty. Not acidic enough.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle, May 2008. This has a gueuze-like floral aroma. Amber with a fairly permanent head and sweet, sugary flavour with apricot, and very little sourness.

Aug 15, 2008 33CL bottle, bought at supermarket in IJmuiden. For me this beer is to sweet. To much sugar.
