This spontaneous fermented beer has been aged in Hungarian oak barrels and appears with a light amber color with almost no head.
The aroma is huge and very vinous. A clear impression of oxidized apples is the first thing that hits you, which made us think of heavy old fashioned British apple ciders. The aroma also reveals the wooden notes from the barrels along with some burned toffee and spices like Star anise.
It has a very heavy acidic profile at first, one that quickly slides into a smooth kind of sweetness. We taste green apples, carambola and very young green grapes. It has a certain lactic acidic touch and a creamy dry finish that lasts forever and bares the green impressions through.
Some mild creamy blue cheese on roasted rye bread would work great due to both the lactic and acidity impressions in this beer.

Bottle at Malt och Humle, Linköping, on September 12, 2015.Light golden color, small white head. Acidic, unripe berries scent and taste. Can drink it fine, but I didnät feel it was super complex to pick out various aromes and taste. Medium to medium thin mouthfeel, very low bitterness. Fresh.

Bottle at home. Dullish cloudy orange with fine lacing. Nose is funky tart and some barnyard. Tastes of horse blanket, apple skin, touch of cheesy funk, lemon, white wine grapes. Sticky Lambic palate. Good effort here quite enjoyable.

Hazy dark golden with a small white head. Funky, complex aroma with raw wood, barnyard, hay and leather, with some fruity notes of apple and ripe grapes. The flavour is tart with wood and vinegar notes, sour, unripe apples, along with a sweeter fruity notes. One of the most complex and interesting lambiks I have had from Mikkeller

Bottle from Kihoskh, consumed in room 1014 at Radisson Royal Hotel during CBC 2015. A bit orange/amber with a small head. Aroma of apples, wood, citrus and some light white bread. Similar taste. Also some yeast and white wine. Medium tart and with a dry finish. A nice one.

Refrigerated 37.5 cl green bottle corked and caged poured into a tulip. Caramel colored with very small white head. Aroma is tart, medium body, very little carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is tart, funk, and wood. Hoped for more.

Bottle. Rose gold with a white head that’s gone quickly. Aroma of apples, light red wine, lemons, toffee, spices. Carbonation is pretty low, but there’s a delicate creaminess too it that might not come through so well if were any higher. Taste has a balance of sweet toffee apple and lemony and vinous sourness. Dry at the end with spicy wood and old lemon peel. Good.
