Bottle from the brewery. Deep reddish orange colour, white foam. Lots of rhubarb, funk, barnyard, wood. Nice and well balanced.

Bottle. Hazy reddish-orange color with white head that disappears almost immediately. Aroma is barn, nettles, fresh unsweetened rhubarb. Taste is rhubarb, green, leathery, nice character. Mineraly bite, sparkly carbonation. Nice one!

De Cam's newest lambic to date, this time with rhubarb and rhubarb only (a combination with apricot has been done before and is part of the range now), more precisely the old 'Valentine' variety, known to be sweeter and deeper crimson red than average when ripe. Medium thick, opening, snow white head on a beautiful, misty crimson red beer with vermillion hue. Aroma of indeed lots and lots of Valentine rhubarb stems in a 'raw' and very convincing way, redcurrant, sourdough, wood sorrel leaf, strawberry juice, roses, hints of red apple, sour cream, damp earth (the latter more so in the end). Very crisp and lively fruity onset but no sweetness: this is indeed a crystalline, bright, crunchy oxalic acidity from ripe rhubarb stems to the extreme, flanked by lactic, yoghurty tartness stretching throughout the whole beer, and fruity, berry-like esteriness reminiscent of redcurrant and unripe strawberry. Carbonation is fizzy and lively, through a supple bready lambic body completely drenched in crisp bright-vermillion 'rhubarbness' - I used to pick and nibble on rhubarb stems from my grandmother's garden all the time when I was a kid, so this is pure nostalgia for me. Lactic and oxalic sourness work well together in keeping things fresh and crisp, making for a dry ending with again rhubarb juiciness, as well as bready notes, mild drying tannins and a musty damp earth accent. Young and unexperienced, this one, a bit boisterous perhaps (much like that apple lambic they did last year - or indeed matching with De Cam's overall rather 'wild' and sometimes a bit unpolished, but always thoroughly endearing house style), but in any case conveying actual rhubarb in the most convincing way I ever encountered in a beer, including lambic.

Pours a beautifull, yet unexpected, clear peachy pinkred. Small white head with a relatively good persistance. Smell is very intense, and much different than expected. Apple, notes of red fruit, a very bright lambik (Lindemans ?) base. Nothing at all like Nath or any other rhubarb beer I had before. Taste starts intensely sour, but not over the top. All doubts of 'is this the right beer' can be removed, as the rhubarb enters full on. Earthy at first, aromatic towards and during the end. Dry, medium high carbo, which gives a very sharp beer , especially with the tartness. Mild oakyness. I still suspect the base lambic is Lindemans (brewed), but I'm of course not sure about this. It's result is far more sour, yet adding a sour something like rhubarb might cause that as well. Very well made, with an expressive nose i truly admire.

Rabarbaru duzo wiecej niz w nath. Kiblowe nieco. Troche skorzane? I ryli mocno rabarbarowe. Troche kompotowe, tylko na mocno kwasno. Z mikrominusikiem
