A very good choice for those who are not keen on a typical beer taste. Very easy to drink and very refreshing. Yuzu is a Japanese lemon. During brewering, only the peel is used to steep inside the Lambic.

Originally drank close to release, but wasn't keeping track of vintages back than. So this is for the 2013 vintage, sampled in 2024 .

Pours fairly clear amberblonde. Small but present white head. Scent has age (old oak, cork ) very strong citrussy aroma from the yuzu, still dominant after 11 years. Taste is raw, tart, surprisingly light and elegant, yuzu, mild in acidity, very short finish. Still got some carbonation. Mild mushroomy factor from the age. Very wattery mouth feel, which does bother me, as well as the absent of any aftertaste. Very promising nose ( appart from the age factor ) but the taste is a let down. Past its prime for sure, not due to age-oriented flavors- those are acceptable in their intensity - but more due to the sheer boringness this has become. I remember it being far, far better.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Clear-ish dull gold with minimal white head. Funk and yuzu, quite flat, but interesting combination of flavour with the yuzu. Yuzu is a bit dominant here. Okay.

375ml shared with Phill @ Ryan's. Appearance: a bit hazy straw with a bubbly weak head which you may expect from a pure lambic. Aroma: fruity, hay, herbs, fruity character. Taste: along the same lines, completely flat, very fruity, no funk detected. Overall: ok.

Flavour is raw, some tart wood, mild zesty tones with green apples and some herbal tones. Nice carbonation. Ends quite tart and somewhat dry. Good sipper.
