COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Brix (633) - - MAR 5, 2008
Tasted 2008-03-05. From Ølbutikken. Pours hazy, dark yellow with fast disappearing head. Aroma: Sour apples, brett, funky barnyard. Flavour: Acidic, yet not super acidic. More like a very mild and balanced gueuze. Ever so slightly bitter finnish (barely noticable). Medium dry and low carbonation. Very tasty!

5000 (4962) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - MAY 3, 2013
Bottle:   Dirty straw, dudsy white head, dies quickly, leaving little lacing.   Sure looks like a Lambic of sorts.   Musty nose, tart, for some reason I get some muskat grapes.   Tart and dry on the tongue.   Brett seems a little on the light side, the Pedio seems a bit heaftier.   Backside is a little weak, simply tart and a little dry.   Its solid, but seemingly fairly plain.   Not as bright as I would have hoped, then again I did sit on it for a few years.   The more I sip this the drier it gets.   Good stuff, but nothing earth shattering.   Perhaps I waited too long?   Still very clean and enjoyable tho.

Bottle at Pikkulintu. Pours hazy orange with minimum head. Aroma pretty interesting sour and fruity. Good sour citrus and apple taste. Little like apple cider. Really refreshing. Really drinkable for a sour beer. Suitable for a warm sunny weather.

dreadnord (995) - San Diego, California, USA - FEB 16, 2013
Pours clear pale yellow with a small head. Nose is lemon, vinegar, sour apple, floral. Taste is very sweet and then very sour. Not to complex. The mouthfeel is sticky and the body is medium with a long finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Scopey (3229) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 16, 2012
Bottle at home to celebrate rating #2500. It pours clear golden yellow with a bubbly white head. The nose is hay, floral (particularly chamomile), wheat, light spice, apple, sweet pear and farmyard. The taste is tart lemon, lime, mouth-puckering tartness, Granny Smith apple, white grape, sour pear, light acidity, hay, floral, with dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine, lively carbonation. Clean, crisp and deliciously sour. Quite straight-forward actually, but well executed and utterly drinkable.

Taste is dry and medium sour with notes of lemons, apples and funk. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation. Really great.
