We could wax poetic about the 2003’s leathery, herbal, citric, woody, vanilla, buttery qualities—but the only way to truly appreciate it is to taste it yourself.The one quality we must emphasize is that this is an OUDE LAMBIEK (old Lambic) NOT Geuze. There is some very light sparkle to the beer but it is not intended to have the high champagne-like carbonation that Geuze aims for.
You will see them turning up for special tastings at the best specialty beer bars coast to coast. Quite literally, when this product is gone it can never be made again.

Difficult cork, pours dark yellow, as flat as Flevoland. Smells dry, soft oaky, light funk, no sour. Flat mouthfeel, soft. Taste is loads of oak, good bit of barn-y funk and just the tiniest hint of a memory of sourness. Amazingly complex, rich, so soft.

Bottle from Etre Deep gold in color minimal white bubbles. Tart funk on the nose. Earthy funky flavor with a smattering of lemony tartness. Mostly flat. Somewhat plain and one dimensional.
