19’ bottle. Pours a hazy golden with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is grape skin, barnyard, oak, citrus. Thin body, sweet grape, oak, funk, nice tartness, really enjoyed this.

14/VIII/21 - 75cl bottle, shared @ Cantillon brewery (Brussels), BB: n/a, bottled: 10/VI/20 (2021-794) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!

Rather cloudy orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very oxidized, lots of celery (!), funky, spicy, bit weird. Not very nice… MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, funky, very herbal, spicy, lemony notes, very funky and bretty, little dirty. Aftertaste: very vegetal, soup, sweet touch, bit of a medicinal bitterness. This very under par from what we're used to...

Bottle shared at the brewery. Lots of vin jaune, good oxidization but also nice lambic and funk. Quite woody. Really good.

Bottle @ Moeder Lambic Original as Lambic Jaune 2014. Pours clear golden with a frothy white head. Aromas of nutty sweet vin jaune, lightly oxidized vinous note, citrus, caramel, light funk, dark fruits, stonefruits. Taste has a very nutty flavour upfront followed by vanilla, dark fruits, caramel, citrus, stonefruits and oak. Finish is lingering and develops on the tongue for quite a while. Holy SHIT this is insane. Possibly the best beer I've ever had. Not a single thing I would change. --- Beer merged from original tick of Vin Jaune on 17 Aug 2021 at 14:17
