6 months old. Armand’s recipe, brewed @ Boon
Hazy amber, no head. Tart aroma, lemon peel, lime peel, butter, horses, apricots and earth. Light sweet flavour, somewhat sour. Light butter, some tart citrus. No carbonation (duh). Tart finish, quite sour, citrus, marmalade and lemon peel.
This brew manages to be straightforward, uncomplicated and complex at the same time. Good stuff.
(Draught @ Open Bier Dagen, 3 Fonteinen, Beersel. Thanks!)

Free glass thx. during the opening of the new brewery @ 3F // hand-pump // drank during the highly informative and interesting tour of the new brewery given by the man himself // brewed 14.3.2012 @ Boon by Boon I think using same ingredients and recipe as 3F used before the incident // counts as a young one - sometimes wondered as to where the ratings of the young one came from since I thought only blends of already older lambic were out there // murky apricot amber, ’head’ is some lambic bubbles // murky apricot peaches come in first, rather soft and fruity, tad horseblanket, earthly barnyard, soft mushy fruits get overtaken by lemon acidity leading into a strongly puckering finish, hints of bitterness, hazy substantial body. screw carb. good stuff // indeed feels 3F, its got that 3F goodness going on // beginning reminds me a bit of a young Lindemans, the fruitiness but finish is def. way harsher sourness

Draught at Mikkeller Bar, opening night
Cloudy copper color, a few sparse bubbles and a oily trail of microbubbles. The classic Lambic aroma is not extremely pronounced; there is barnyard, cobwebs, wet cellar, roasted ham.
Dry mouthfeel, strong lemon flavor, and lemon peels, and bitter oranges; astringent final. Not overly sour. It’s not as complex as their series of Gueuze, but it’s a pure beautiful sample.

Pretty cloudy amber coloured beer, no head. Aroma: bretta, yeast, basement, little flowery, vinegar. Taste: sour, but also a bit meaty, big bite. Aftertaste: vinegar and lemon, green apples. If guezes are hard to describe, then Lambics are totally hell... :p

On tap at Mikkeller. It pours an almost clear body, golden to pale amber in color, no carbonation going on, hence no head. Still, it looks really beautiful. There’s some fruityness on the nose, a faint whiff of rubber too, and barnyardish horse-blanket funk. It’s tart and lemony in the mouth, some barnyard, and a lasting puckering lemony finish. Bone dry. A beauty indeed, drinks very easily and tastes really nice too. 100508

Sour as all get out but it’s done right and has a good smell to my lambic nose. No real head, but lambic geeks would likely say it should be that way. Flavour is simple and sour, but smooth, very drinkable. It’s a nice lambic, a great example of the style.

5th May 2010. Mikkeller Bar. Copenhagen. Clear amber beer. Crisp dry palate. Sour but not puckery! Orange and lemon acidness stays in control. Finishes dry and sour and mouth watering. A little lemon in the aftertaste.

On tap @ Mikkeller bar. Hazy orange body almost without any head. Acidic aroma with vinegar, wood and barnyard. Flavor is intense sour and acidic with funky, bitter fruit and a hint of rubber. Love it.
