Bottle shared at a tasting at Max's place. Thanks Dean K. for this bottle! Cloudy golden-orange. Barnyard, oak, fruitiness (some plum), a bit of oxidation, citrus, sour, juicy, a bitterish note, slightly astringent finish, smooth, quite flat. Great stuff.

Corked bottle. Orange blonde. Plums, citrus and oak in the aroma and flavor. Sour, but well rounded and not harsh. Pleasant drinker. Very low on carbon.

375mL bottle, cork crumbled upon removing it - pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a lot of acidic plums, some vinegar, and very subdued barnyard funk. Flavour is rather subdued on the funk as well, with the plums coming in subtly in the back. Really lacking in funk, wild character and fruit - and it doesn't come together cohesive at all. It's not harsh, just lacking depth and integration. Doesn't hold a candle to the Belgian classic lambics.

Draught @ De Kromme Haring Aroma has sweet malt, syrup and brown sugar. Also earthy notes. Reminds me of Cantillon Iris. Flavour has sourness, sweet malt and . Finishes tart and sour with milky tones and leathery feeling. Very unusual. At this point of my rating career it is quite rare that I grin after a sip from beer but this one managed to do it. Not sure if I like this or not.

Bottle. Color: Hazy golden orange, white thin head. Aroma: Tart berries and plum. Taste: Moderate tart and sweet, subtle wild yeast funk, fruity notes of plum, grapes, berries and hints of lemon. Light to moderate bitterness. Just over medium body, under average carbonation. Nice balance and complexity.

6/V/19 - 75cl bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte) @ home, BB: n/a, bottled: VIII/2018 - (2019-689) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear orange beer, no head. Aroma: bit fruity, nice, clean brett (with clean, meaning no nasty chemical or other bad aromas), grains, a bit malty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very fruity start, nice soft brett notes, good acidity, lemon juice, bitter touch. Aftertaste: dry, soft bitterness, very fruity, some tannins, bitter touch, still fruity in the finish.

Bottle, many thanks 77ships! Unclear amber color with white head. Aroma is definitely plums, yoghurt, leathery funk, a bit cheesy too. Taste is plums, jammy, fermented fruits, leathery, a bit alcoholic. Not too dry, but it has a bit of an earthy bite. Works well, I like!
