Bottle: Poured a dark golden color lambic with a small foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of funky ester with some tart notes and light vinous notes are also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of funky esther with some tart notes and light vinous notes with no noticeable acidity. Body is about average with limited carbonation. More complex than I was expecting with nice grape flavors and a vinous feel.
Hazy dark golden with a small white head. Aroma of Tilquin funk, berries, wood and herbal notes of rosemary and spruce. Dry and tart fruity and funky flavour with wood and spice.

Bottle. Totally clear golden. Very funky with a lot of dry cellar notes and a hint of gasoline and sand. Woody, grape tannins, leather. Over medium sour, lighter sweet. There is a ton of lovely funk here, not very fruity, this is mostly just great lambic. Hmmmm.

750ml from Raynville. It pours blush amber with a dissipating frothy white head. The aroma is deep funk upfront, damp wood, barnyard, hay, dirt, must and mouldy basement, then it gets jammy, plump ripe grape, grapeskin, plum, prune and bramble. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, loads of funk upfront, dirty, manure, barnyard, must, nip of acidity, vinous, grapeskin, plum, bramble, touch of minerality, twist of citrus peel, touch of bitterness, dry oak and a hint of lactic acid with a drying, funky finale. Medium body and fine prickly carbonation. Good depth of flavour with plenty of funk. Fun one.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Beer Merchants. Lightly sweet with pleasant funk, damp wood, white pepper, lemony tang, pleasant acidity. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Clean, quenching finish, nicely drying, more white pepper, citric acidity. Super.

Flaska från Etre. Disig gyllenrosa vätska utan skum. Snygg druvig lambic. Saftiga, omogna druvor med en hel del skaltanniner och skalbeska. Dessutom citrus, syrliga äpplen, strå och fat. Mycket gott
Sour and fruity, pretty dry. Red grapes, citrus, red wine vinegar, some funk in the finish. Moderately acidic but overall on the smoother side. Nice.

Bottle, 2020-2021. Color: Pale slightly reddish golden, no head. Aroma: Funky hints, grapes, grapeskin,. Taste: Horse blanket and farmyard Brett funk, fruity, grapeskin, grapes, citrus. Minerals. Oak wood. Quite some tannins. Moderate tart, light bitterness. Medium body, just below average carbonation. A weaker but still quite nice version of Tilquin Oude Pinot Meunier à l'Ancienne in my opinion.
