Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Clear golden body with a thick white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grass and lemon. Flavour of straw and funky yeast. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Raw and hoppy. Decent.

Draught at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Slightly cloudy orange amber colour with white frothy head. Aroma is very fruity, sweet orange, lemon, touch of stinky b.o. hops. Taste is fruity to start with and bitter at the end. Touch of sherberty sweetness. Nice texture and good sweet and bitter combination. Very drinkable.

Many thanks for this beer to Eric De Geyter. Piwo ma gigantyczna piane, trwala jak wlosy po najlepszym zelu czy lakierze, metniste pachnace chmielem, biszkoptami, domowym ciastem drozdzowym. W smaku klasyczne slody belgijskie, goryczka wyczuwalna, przyjemne i tresciwe piwo. IPA w stylu belgijskim, a ogolnie tak nachmielowne jakby nie bylo belgijskie.

Huge thanks to JefVerstraete for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Malty-moldy aroma. Starts malty, moldy, some grasy notes. Bitter background. Finish could be more balanced, still a lot dry hoppy notes. Okay.

Bottle, many thanks JefVerstraete! Huge pop, but mo gusher. Clear golden color with fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty, estery, peach and very Belgian, super fruit esters forward. Taste is the same. Sirupy mouthfeel with high carbonation. Tasty and sweet, classic Belgian Ale on the sweet side, and more fruit-forward than your average Belgian Ale (also very sweet, but it kinda fits!).
