Bottle, 375ml corked. Unknown vintage. Impossible to get the cork out in one piece. It's almost clear in the glass, dark golden in color and flat. Citrusy, funky aroma with barnyard, lemon and leather. Some caramel hints. It's medium to full-bodied and tart and acidic on the palate, no carbonation left. Funky flavor too, lemon, barnyard, leather and a caramel touch that is more oxidation than caramel. Medium length finish. Really delicious this one, as Vanderlinden closed down in 2001, it's a very old beer, but still delivers. 240906

Old dusty bottle from Tore’s garage. Unclear dark golden body without any head. Quite pleasant aroma with funk, lemon and ripe fruit. Taste is smooth with soft malt, ripe fruit, gentle acidity and hint of oxidation. Sweet and acidic impression. Balanced body with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. Impressive that this stuff is still very drinkable after more than 20 years.

Scopey 10K Celebrations in deepest Croydonia. Thanks to Mr 10K. Very hazy gold - orange beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and mildly crisp. Good lemon - orange, ripe. A modicum of sourness. Mild sherbet. Light finish. Pleasantly mild.

Bottle shared during Scopey’s 10k tasting - many thanks to Scopey himself for this one! Pours unclear gold with a creamy white head. The aroma holds musty wood, damp grass, old lemons. Light-medium sweet flavor with assertive citric lemon bite, grass, drying wood. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Somewhat sharp on the finish, lots of citric bite, hints of metal, tangerine peel, light funk, bitter grass. Quite nice overall.

Bottle for my 10,000 rate! After wrestling with the cork it pours hazy deep orange with a thick, foamy white head. The nose is rich, funky, musty, damp wood, wet leaves, stewed orange, mouldy peach, apple cider, light dust, sweet vanilla, Bakewell tart and earth. The taste is big bracing acidity upfront, white wine vinegar, cider vinegar, funk, sour apricot, peach, yellow grapefruit, tart granny smith apple, light vanilla in the background, marzipan, earth and wood with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Condition has really held up. A bit too much acidity if truth be told, but it was fun to drink nonetheless!

Bottle split at Scopey 10K, massive thanks to Paulo for this - the 10K beer, 26/11/15. Golden orange with a well appointed off white covering that retains well. Nose is funky, wood must, horse blanket, sharp lemon, hint of lime, apple vinegar. Taste comprises sweet and sour notes, light spice, vinegar tones, funky, rising acidity, bitter lemon, tarte apple orchard. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with rising acidity leading to a moderate throat scrape. Great to try, seemed sweet in places but overall quite an acidic beast.
