Pours clear, darker gold . Scent is elderflower, but far more complex. Funky, honey almost ? Not sweet, only the funk though. Not the most EF intense version of the 4. Taste is intense, tart, oaky. EF herbal notes, less floral. Less pronounced as well - bringing the balance more towards lambic, and thus more to my liking.

Pours fairly clear, relatively dark ambergold. Scent is elderflower, quite intense, lambic a bit lost. Taste is tart, loads of elderflower. Unbalanced to me, looses the lambic. Not a big fan.

Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Scent is perfumy. Relativelty mild on the elderflower - yet recognizable. Taste is full, more clear than the 54.1 on the elderflower part. Still balanced though, but to the max intensity I 'like' elderflower.

Pours a hazed blonde. Scent is relatively mild on the elderflower. Lambic is recognizable. Taste is medium acidic. Elderflower is mild and elegant. Lovely balanxe, due to the fairly low elderflower intensity.

Bottle. Unclear amber color with white head. So this one apparently has the highest elderflower concentration. Strong jammy elderflower nose, but with a bit green bell peppers in there too, not so much Lambic funk. Taste is super jammy, but again, a touch too much on the spicy side, but still works out pretty well. My favourite is somewhere between II and III here.

Bottle. Unclear amber color with white head. Aroma is very nice elderflower jamminess, super intense and luscious. Taste is elderflowers all the way, not so much Lambic character left. Oily mouthfeel, flat. The aroma is beautiful, in the flavour profile I preferred Vlierbloesem II for its balance between Lambic and Elderflower flavours.

Bottle. Unclear amber color with soapy white head. Aroma is leather, good Lambic character again, peppery, jammy, really nice balance. Taste is good leather and barn, really nice elderflower, nice jamminess, and with a touch of pepper. Oily mouthfeel, flat. This seems like a good elderflower balance.

Bottle. Unclear golden color with soapy white head. Aroma is Lambic funk, earthy, wood, a touch of elderflowers only. Taste is elderflowers, earthy, leathery, dusty lemon. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Good, quite restrained on the elderflowers, but it's definitely present.
