This blonde and slight sour ale is the result of a research combining Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Pediococus Cerivisae from Wyeast and some skills out of the Wild Woesten.
Special beer by Struise as a tribute to Lembeek brewers.

patrickfannon (1059) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 28, 2009
Bottle. 11.2 oz. Pours hazy golden orange with a thin, quickly-fading white head. No lacing. Aroma of earth, hops, lemon, grapefruit, and hints of tea. Medium, almost sticky mouthfeel. Extremely tangy, bitter finish. Very good sour ale.

corby112 (1862) - philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 14, 2009
Pours a cloudy golden orange/amber color with a one finger foam white head that quickly settles into a lasting ring. Not much lacing. Tart funky aroma with crisp golden light fruit notes. Apple and pear notes with a subtle maltiness and slight hop presence. Tart, sour and funky with some light golden fruit notes, mostly apple and pear with some slight banana notes. Slight malt backbone provides decent balance. There are some slight citrus peel notes and a very refreshing dry tart finish.

thirdeye11 (3910) - Dallas, Texas, USA - SEP 19, 2009
( 330ml bottle) Pours a cloudy blonde with no head and only light lacing. Nose is barnyard, quite funky with some tarness/sour coming through. Taste is better than the nose. Quite sour, lightly funky, puckers the cheeks and lime citrus on the finish. Linger and body perfectly fit the style.

GranvilleTim (955) - Granville, Illinois, USA - SEP 6, 2009
Cloudy golden pour with a white head. Aroma of sourness, barnyard, a little funk. Taste is wow- sour, grassy, hay and funk. The flavor made my mouth water. Aftertaste was citrusy and a tad sour. One of the best wild Belgian ales so far. Mmm...Tasty!

valpoaj (366) - Valparaiso, Indiana, USA - SEP 1, 2009
Pours pale golden color with a thin white head that leaves a lasting film. Aroma is mild but has white grapes, barnyard, and apple. Flavor is more sour than I’d expect...slightly lactic in nature and fairly spicy. High level of tartness and a lemon note in the background. Very Berliner Weisse-like, but with an added funk...and this worked out well. Mild on the palate, with a lasting dryness that keeps you coming back. I thoroughly enjoyed this offering...a very fine sour.

Clear, bubbly, golden pour, with a white head. Nose is grape, yeast, and a bit of barnyard. Flavor is intensely tart and sitrusy (lemons). Dry finish with a slightly metallic tang.
