This slightly sour blonde is the result of a unique experimental combination of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis and Pediococus Cerivisae from Wyeast Laboratories.

+/- 5 yr old Vintage bottle@Kulminator: it does remind me of a lambic but this is also distinctly different as well, clear yellow with a small white head that doesn’t lace or last, smell is a bit limbic-like, tart & sour citrus, hint of sweet fruit, lactic sourness mixed with wet rags, taste is a bit similar to taste, sour & tart lemons & green apples, wild yeast, lactic tartness, some wheat & hint of funk, feels a bit musty & wet, medium to light body, not much carbonation, interesting & good brew by Struise /// tried another 2007 vintage of these, really good, even better than I remember, like a reallyy good geuze, all cleared out now /// upped from 4.1 to 4.7

Bottle, 6%. Citric aroma, a bit of citric, teaish fruit. Almost clear dark golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is distinctly acidic, lemony. Clean acidity. There is also a clear metallic note, especially in the aftertaste. Not so good, but it fades away after a bit.

330ml bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki
Strange mix of Belgian blonde and a sour ale. Too unbalanced and sour for my taste.

5th March 2010. Pre ZBF. Hazy gold beer. Light dry palate. Sour lemony tones but not overdone. Always a struggle with sour beers but found this one quite drinkable.

11.2 ounce bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar. Thanks! Sampled at the 11th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 4/17/10. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of a faint tartness, some vegetal notes including a bit of celery, and some citrus. The taste is tart citrus, caramel, faint vegetal notes. Medium bodied and smooth. Fairly drinkable.
