Wow, simply wow.
Pours beautiful with a large, foamy, head. As it slowly fades a sticky and strong lacing is left on the glass. And it never fully fades, left id a cm thick surface covering foam. Basically, there are soap suds in this beer. The color is hazy and thick but not muddy or murky. One cannot see through it but it has a sunshine irradiating hue. Looks like the sun is shining straight through the beer. Just beautiful, especially with the lightly visible carbonation. Aroma is lots of barnyard/cobweb lambic blended beautifully with perfume-like Belgian malts, which are very low key. The lambic part dominates. Further, lightly grassy and light leather, again perfectly melded. Taste is almost all kambic, spiky, cobweb filled leather and a nice long dryness. Throughout the flavor there is a light Belgian pale sweetness lovingly playing off the lambic flavors. Its not in your face with any one aspect. Nice light lemon zest in the back of the throat.
750mL from Beer Mania, no date, white wine glass, split 3 ways at home.
