Jan 1990 bottle. Crumbly cork, but came out eventually. It pours clear rose/ blush with limited head. The aroma is initially big wet cork, earthy, musty, dusty, medicinal which clears up after a while... soft, sour candy, fruity, sour raspberry, cranberry jam, strawberry and plum. The taste is soft, sweet - sour, juicy, tangy, raspberry jam, plum compote, chalky, minerality, earthy, woody tannin, dull acidity, funk and wet leaves with a jammy raspberry finish. Medium body, light carbonation and soft mouth-feel. Has aged pretty well. Still pretty fruity.

Sampled purchased from Kraddel. Thanks! 750 ml. bottle sampled. Bottle from 1970s – 1980s. Dark fox red, head quickly gone. Nose is dominated too much by mold, cellar, rotting cork ditch water, lemon,… Luckily you can ignore it,… Cellar & rotting cork are less present in taste , low ditch water, moldy lemon, fruity is largely lemon-like, faint vinegar, rather watery, fruit is low & vague,… Overal better than expected, it is a bit too watery, weak moldy lemon tasting, cellar, moldy corn has crept into it. Definetly too old, better than expected, there is still mild lambiek notes etc. in this one. Given that this was presumably finished, its surprisingly lambiek-like even if watery, moldy lemon etc. definitely worth more attention than their Kriek of Framboise.

Expected 70-80’s bottle. perfect label, so i guess stores pretty good. pours unclear peachy orange. Bo head, yet Signs of pressure in bottle. Smell is Dusty, bit sour, somewhat fruity. Taste is sour, very dry, very,very Woody. Aged, oak, very mild fruity undertone. Cidity, Lemon sourness. No traces of sugar. Very Nice, still ! Impressies !

Big thanks to tquest for that one! Bottle looks interesting. Not easy to open. Finally have the beer in the glass. Looks brownish, almost no head. Mild-sourish aroma. Starts mild, modest sourish, quite fruity like peaches and apricot. Finish less sourish, almost a bit sweet. Mild-sourish aftertaste, a bit moldy. Interesting!

A 1989 bottle at Heeren van Liedekercke, Denderleeuw, Belgium
Hazy, amber body. Off-white fizzy head. Ok lace. Ok head after all those years. Aroma of liquor, raspberries, some tanines, a lot of white port and higher alcohols. Quite sweet aroma with some complexity. Doesn’t remind me of lambic anymore. Fruity, quite sweet flavour. Quite flat carbonation and a little bit watery. Not so intense, nor very complex. Still it is quite ok after about 20 years.

[Bottle from ~1986 at GBBF] Brownish amber. Almost still. Aroma of ripe raspberries. Sweet some with oxidation showing through papery malt. Medium bodied with a touch of freshening acidity. Interesting, but over it’s top.

Very aged sample - surprised it’s in the database - but still to be found in various locations. Served ice-cold Amber-orange with pinkish shine; slim whitish head. Very nice raspberry-ish smell (fresh fruit), typical for the former Eylenbosch brewery, not syrupy but several fruitacids and lactic. Sweet taste, quite a bit artificial all the same. There’s fruit taste, but I could not say raspberry this time. Bit of smokiness (? sweetener). Lips say lactic acid. Medium bodied, very obvious slickness, probably also due to the sweetener. Not disagreable, just too sweet. The nose is a true marvel.
