Triple test of the three versions, points are average.
20%: gushing to medium, white head over hazy ochre-orange beer. Good lambic nose, horseblanket, saddle soap, lemon, lime. Sourish taste, lemony, oranges, wheat. There is a sweeter, fleeting, malty/grainy taste, reminiscent of the Tripel. Wheatslickness, good carbonation, already some lipsmacking acidity. A relief compared to the the Tripel with the lambic (already!) in a major role.


30% No gushing, small white head, disappearing, pale copper-coloured. Not mush nose but the lambic, horseblanket, bit of lemon, even oranges. Mild lambic flaovur, faint spiciness, referring to the Tripel, but always mild; unripe fruit. Light body, lipsmacking acidity. Despite the extra 10%, the 20% version had no less lambic character.


40% Slow gushing to medium white head over hazy orange beer. Clear lambic nose, saddlesoap, horseblanket and a tad mineral. Lots of lactic acid. Lambic with a grainy, sweetish extra flavour. Lemon, lemonrind, very gueuze-like. Lipsmacking acidity, wheatslickness, acidthinning. The lambic takes over, not 40, but rather 100 percent. To the benefit of the beer, I must add!
