It has all of the lambic flavor and aroma but everything seems light. It is not particularly sour and does not otherwise have a lot of character. OK.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear deep gold with small white head. Belgian yeast, feint funk, nice citrus. Don't really get any lambic quality on htis, but decent.

750mL bottle, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals of plenty of barnyard funk, some dark bready malt, and a hint of citrus. Flavour is both quite malty and funky, with lots of bready malt, toasted caramel, and light-to-moderate funk. Nice funk character, but not at the level of a lambic. More like a malty golden ale with some funk, and this seems better if I think of it that way. Good.

Bottle shared by JK, thanks! Pours a near clear gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a funky earthy fruit with a slight menthol note and a good amount of oak coming through. Flavor has dry and tart light fruits with a slight dryness, some grain and some funky oak backing.

75cl bottle from ABS Drinks near Herent. F: big, white, good retention. C: gold, light hazy. A: nice sour fruity, apples, bit peach, caramel touch, woody, funky. T: light sour fruity, citrus, bit gooseberries, woody, brett touch, bit bready, taste is quite simple but aroma very nice, higher carbonation, still nice refreshing beer, enjoyed for sure.

750ml caged and corked bottle. Cork reads 07 04 15.
Pours a clear pale gold, bringing heaps of foam, lots of sticky lacing.
Big tart notes in the smell, light Brett, acetic, yet something in there presents a sweet note or two.
Tart more than sour, light Brett, acetic presence minor, some sweetness. Lovely.
Mouthfeel is fine, finish is on the dry side.
I'm glad that I picked up this bottle. It's very pleasing.
Second pour and the foam got all wild and tried to overflow. Lots more bubble action as well. No deductions of points for that.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Lovely stuff! High carbonation makes it very refreshing and easy to drink. Aroma is pleasantly tart and fruity. Lemon, bit of dust and funk too. Taste is great, nice tartness, bretty, with light citrus, touch of creaminess and some honey. But definitely not sweet. Not so sour but has a little prickle. These kind of blends are always right up my street!

Draught @ Bruxellensis. Hints of flowery hops and butter in the aroma. Tropical fruit, especially pineapple, in the flavor, with some flowery hopbitterness and just a hint of sourness. Very well balanced.
