Clear dark golden with a white head. Aroma shows of the Vin Juane beautifully with wonderful oxidized cherry notes, toffee and oak along with a lovely dry funk, cobwebs and vinous notes. Flavour is light moderate sweet and sour, much more sweetness than I'd expect in a geuze, but balancing perfectly in this one. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Stunning and absolutely worth the wait! --- Beer merged from original tick of Vin Jaune on 17 Aug 2021 at 14:17

Hazy golden color with a fine head on top. Looks nice. Pleasant intensity in the aroma. Average to mellow carbonation level. Balanced fine acidity and a quite lasting tail. Vinous, some vinegar, citric and green apples in the flavor. Tasty stuff.

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Dorata torbida, schiuma leggera e inconsistente. Al naso note vinose, di frutta bianca acida, fiori bianchi, balsamico, legno, leggero acetico. In bocca e vinosa, mediamente acida con leggerissima punta acetica. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Fantastica.

750 ml bottle at Moeder Lambic Original, during Zwanze 2018 weekend. Hazy orange color with white head. Malty and yeasty aroma, nutty, toasted bread, vinous, tart fruity, citrus and stone fruits, grapes, wood, funk barnyard. Sweet and acidic taste like aroma but even more intense. Medium oily body with soft carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Vin Jaune on 17 Aug 2021 at 14:17

Bottle at BXLBeerfest Cantillon tasting, 6% ABV. Pours hazy orange. Aroma is fruity, vinous, oak. Later when it warms up the aroma is straight up curry! Flavor is sour, bitter, hint of sweetness, brettm oak, vinous. Feels really complex. Overall: great.

From bottle at BXL Beer Fest, Cantillon Tasting. Orange, medium hazy body, with a tiny, yellowish head. Amazing, unique aroma of sherry, sweet-spicy dessert wine, juicy pale grapes, curry, sweet resin, wood, subtle cheese. Tastes also beautiful, while a bit different, with some honey, Retsina. Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes medium dry, a bit wooden, tannic, with juicy grapes, dessert wine, resin, some peppery spices. Wow!! Especially the nose is unbelievable, one of the most unique and complex smells I've ever had! Drinks so delicious and different, a bit like a Sherry, also somehow like a Retsina, with an interesting curry note in the nose and all based on a moderate Lambic twist, giving this an endless depth. Simply fantastic, one of the best things I ever drank! I'll propably never get to drink this again, so I have to track down this crazy delicious wine! Score: 10 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 19
