Nice amberish brew, bit of foam, apple juice-like. Aroma is nicely acidic, sour and autumny. Taste is the same, very nicely soured, hints of bitterness coming from fermentation I guess. I am really enjoying this, good stuff.

Bottle from Tanakaya shared. Lovely tart nose with apple, gooseberry, lime and oak all working together well. Tart on the palate with a well-rounded mouthfeel and a medium body. Good carbonation with an above average tart finish. Very quaffable. Great stuff!

Waah, it’s a three hotdog Friday night and I need something decent to disperse all that pink goo, gots ta keep the fluids movin’. So naturally I turn to the Belgians for such things, digestion is great in Brussels I tells ya. This one’s got a mighty fine gueuze head, nice orange-gold body and plenty of carbonation. Soft gueuze aroma tempered by some more traditional malts, hazelnut, graham cracker, that kinda thing. Flavour is hay and burlap funk but the sometimes harsh sourness of the lambic eases off thanks to the mix of regular "sour" ale. Pretty good, very drinkable, really good spot for a lambic n00b to start.

On tap at Moeder Lambic, Place Fontainas on 28th November 2015. Hazy copper with diminishing off white foam and scant lacing. Sour lemony and gingery aroma. Richly sour in-mouth without being overly sharp. A grassy touch. Sour, prickly finish. For a drinker not normally keen on sours, I rather enjoyed this one. Thanks Svesse for the recommendation!
