Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow color, almost flat. Aroma of belly button sweat and feet. Taste is lemon and vinegar. Harsh.

Bottle graciously shared by iowaherkeye. Very high fill line. Pours with a flat body and a hazy gold hue. Minimal head. Aroma is sour, lemon, fruity, pineapple and acidic. Taste is acidic (stomach acid), lemon, fruit, funk. Still body, with minimal carbonation. Still enjoyable, and reminiscent of Doesjel.

Bottled - tasted blind. A murky dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is acidic with notes of brettanomyces, citrus, and wood. The flavor is acidic bretty combined with citrusy notes and light notes of wood, leadint to a tart finish. The acidity burns slightly in the throat. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a hazy golden with a small, rough, off-white head. Intense and very delicious Brett aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, lightly sweetish malt and fruitiness and then again these intense and very refined Bretty notes - almost peppery. Lightly tart finish. Quite lovely. 010209

From bottle, #2. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Dry and phenolic to barnyard sour aroma. Light orange fruity note too. Low carbonation. Smooth, dry and solid acetone acidic initial flavoured. Dry and orange acidic flavoured. Holds a dry wooden accent. Quite sour finish and with a little bite.

Bomber shared by Adam at a Julios beer tasting in January 2009. Rather lifeless looking after settling, with a golden-tangerine color and sparse bubbles on the edges. Clear, seemingly filtered, with nothing left on the bottom of the bottle. Perhaps that is one reason why lots of diacetyl is present? Without the lees to reabsorb some of that, it seems it’s run a little rampant. In flavor and aroma, though probably more prominent in flavor. Certainly there are some proper acids; malic, acetic and lactic, but the acetic acid seems to take most of the spotlight, unfortunately. A bit of sourness to start, transitioning in to a punchy, tart red wine character and ending on lots of butteriness and soft, nutty tannins. Vanilla and honey show some underfermented maltiness, but it’s mostly dry, I guess. A little sloppy/rough around the edges and very lackluster in mouthfeel/aroma (slippery/slick/oily and somewhat watery). Not to mention the diacetyl and overeager acetic acid element. Interesting though and the red wine element is well-done and enjoyable. Definitely could do without the filtration and "lambic" moniker on the label.

Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - nearly still, hazy gold/orange beer - a lot of acetone in the aroma, with some notes of oak and a little bit of funk, but the acetone dominates - the taste is quite the same - a lot of acidity, a bit of oak, and a lot of acetone - not getting any wine or wild character - a little fruity sweetness underneath - the mouthfeel is kind of slick and off-putting - did we just get a really bad bottle?

Ill hook up by hapjydeuce, thanks Jason. I drank this after GABF, I needed something special to put the night to bed. I was not disappointed. Pours completely dead, no life or carbonation to the beer. The color is murky, dark, straw. Aroma is all cobweb-y brett. A strong sour-lemon character (reminiscent of Cantillon). Mouthfeel is dead as expected. Taste is very lemony sour at first and a strong brett sour bite at the end. I really liked this, lets give it a bit of carbonation to get the juices going. Otherwise, I am surprised the base beer for Chez Monieux, a lifeless, empty, filtered, shell of a lambic, is so damn good.

Flat, yellowish and dull-looking. Lemony nose with some spiderwebs. Sweet front with a tart finish. Clean lactic. Gripping late acidity, perhaps lacking a bit of complexity.
