Taste is slightly dry sour-ish, citrus acid, hay, oak, minerals, sorrel, old dusty cellar, berry skin, sawdust, wet paper, green apple peel, unripe berries. Medium bitterness, dry sour-ish dusty mouthfeel with a tiny fizz. Interesting, but that's it...

375mL bottle shared by Vtafro on 8/13/16, unsure of exact date, but is said to be from the ’80’s. Wine cork full insertion, with no cage. Fill is good; mid-neck.
Deep copper-orange, good clarity, with a small film of white bubbles that show low retention.
Very earthy, somewhat funky (horseblanket, sweat, cellar, must) nose is fairly well integrated between various acids and does show a touch of brett even. Seems fairly lactic, with a hard, yogurt/cheese rind-like character that is somewhat softened by a honey-caramel sweetness itself being a bit stale/oxidized.
In the mouth, it’s sweet again, with a strong honey-like backbone, with notes of oxidized caramel and bits of simple sugar. Quite fruity and oaky, with strawberry, apple and lemon notes leading to a bit of sour acetic character and ending moderately lactic, acidburn lingering. Fairly well-balanced, quite easygoing, but with enough acidity to signify a lambic. Carbonation is light, but still apparent, giving a frizzante-like character. No alcohol noted. Interesting, and in strong condition for its age, but nothing terribly compelling here and a bit sweet/saccharine-like at points.

Small sample from bottle in the Beer Geeks bus from Vleteren, apparently 28 years old? Yallow color, hazy. Aroma’s: sour, wood, tannines. Flavor is sour, woody. Light bodied, enough carbonation. Just a good gueuze, hard to believe this was that old.
