Poured from a 375 ml, vintage 2028 bottle. Aroma is rather floral with nice rose notes along with some other floral notes. Light mustiness and a bit of citrus. Light oak notes and a touch of oxidation. Pours a hazy, copper-amber color with a small, thin, forced head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a medium light acidity and low sweetness. Light oak notes and a bit of an alcohol note in the finish. Moderately strong floral note and a bit perfume-like. Light fruitiness and a very low mustiness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, not a great beer. The floral notes are very strong and seems to be hiding something off in the base beer.

Pours clear, rather amber. Smell is full, lambic funk. Taste is full, tart, acetic acid. Mild hibiscus. Acetic acid towards the aftertaste.

(750ml 2018 bottle from Etre) Pinkish-orange pour with an average white head after one gets the horribly tough cork out and avoids most of the tan slurry. Aroma is wet farty funk, yoghurt, cheese, soft floral, rosehip, but the adjuncts are kind of subservient to the funk, some wood and dry grass. Flavour is less funky than the nose and substantially yoghurty lactic in quality, with lemon squeeze, wood, dried flowers, rosehips, just a hint of acetic acid, herbs, mid-sour with a drying but still sourish finish. Medium bodied and oily with light carbonation. An odd duck, as I've become accustomed to with recent OWA bottlings. I'd actually like a bit more obvious adjunct here; the feeling now is of a bizarro-world unblended De Troch.

Sampled @ Modeste bierfestival, Antwerp. Appearance: looks like tomato juice. No head. Aroma is very weird, tomato juice comes to mind again with a sourness and herbal note. Flavor is however quite ok, at least better than expected. Moderately sour, red fruit, moderately some herbal influence. Odd but not too bad. Funny tick. 5-2-6-3-11.
