75cl bottle courtesy of Tderoeck @ Post Toer de Geuze tasting. Fresh. Orangée, opaque foncée, pas de col. Arôme à ce côté veille levure avec cet ajout brett qui ne rajoute rien à une bière de base déjà solide. Garde ce côté fleuri et fruité mais dénaturé par le brett. Palais garde ici aussi une impression de bière trop veille, cave, avec un profile plat qui ne donne aucune vie à la bière. Aigreur fine en fin de bouche. Pour moi, un batch qui a du rater et auquel on a ajouté du brett. Dommage.

22/IV/13 - 75cl bottle @ Rampkrot (Deurne) - BB: n/a - 2009 vintage (2013-365) Thanks to Nate for the bottle and to Paul for the transport!

Pretty cloudy orange bee, small off-white head, unstable, dissipates immediately. Aroma: very bready, honey, plums, sweet, dried apricots, orange peel, very oxidised. MF: soft carbon, light to medium body. Taste: honey, pretty sweet, very oxidised, orange peel, almonds, bit citric, but mainly just very old. Aftertaste: little citric, honey, orange peel, almonds. Was expecting something more mouth puckering sour...

Courtesey of tdeoeck. 75 cl. bottle sampled. Very bright orange, hazy, no head. Rotting orange peel, medicinal, aspirin, bitter herbs, sweet mandarin, sweet spices,… Lightly watery, light orange juice, hint of peel, aspirin touch, sweet spices, fruity yeast, apples, dry herbal, prob. some infection but not per se in a bad way. Completely flat. Agreable.

Bottle courtesy of tderoeck, thank you sir! Murky orange color, tiny white edge head. Aroma of oranges, peach, grass. Taste is floral orange. Not bad.

Bottle poured at Brewvival 2012. Pours a clear viscous golden with almost no head. Very tart and earthy aroma with stone fruits, apple, acetic notes. The taste is caramel, stone fruits, citrus, earth and a tart finish. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Quite nice.

Pours opaque deep gold with copper hues and sort of an apricot juice like appearance along with a thin white head. The aroma has a nice bold tart grapefruit like nose and green apples. The taste is sweet and tart and spiced apples as well as a mild sour grapefruit note. It has a pleasing dry and refreshing finish.
