Sampled from hand pump in front of ’De Bierkoning’ during Carnivale Brettanomyces 2016, blend of 80% of about one-year-old and 20% of five-year-old lambic. Hazy, golden amber. Sourish-fruity, slightly funky aroma of gooseberry, quince, grains and butter. Sweetish, slightly sourish, fruity and a little funky taste of gooseberry, quince, grains and some butter, followed by a medium long, moderately tart finish. Thin to medium body, slightly astringent mouthfeel, flat. Nice!

From hand pump in front of de Bierkoning. Blend of few months old lambic with some 5 year old. Hazy orange golden with a few bubbles. Lots of diacetyl, light cheese, cobwebs, funk, apricots, quite some wood and light green leaves. Light sour and bitter. Medium bodied, no carbonation.

Pours unclear blonde. Good white head. Smell is funky, some cellar tones, Rather bitter for a geuze. Taste is funky, dry, some oak , sour. Very complex. Less bitter than the taste would make you think. Carbonated, to my surprise, making this almost a geuze. Very nice one !

Bottle via trade, shared at Bruce’s. Gusher! It pours hazy gold with a medium white head. The nose juicy, funky, sherbet, lemon-lime, orange, hay and mild florals. The taste is crisp, tart,acidic, lemon rind, pithy lime, good mouth-pucker, musty in the background, minerals and light floral notes. Medium body and big foamy carbonation. All comes together rather nicely. Good stuff.
