Cask 4 yr old Mindblowing delicate yet strong vinous nose, almost more wine than lambic, with mild woody touches. Wood, straw, tart yet mals in soft cidery and ditto vinous notes. Ultra dry. Despite the relative high acidity, it is mals in the best way imaginable. Big thanks to Willem!

Draft at Grote Dorst. It ain't a looker. It pours dirty muddy pond water brown with a few bubbles on the cap. The aroma is zingy, tangy, sherbet, damp grain, dirty basement, gooseberry fool, bran muffin, fruit pie crust. The taste is bracing acidity upfront, puckering, zingy, tangy, then it dries right out, super dry funk, basement action, haylage, quite spicy, has some of that gooseberry and white currant action. Finish is bone dry. Medium body and flat. Flavourful for sure, but quite challenging also.

On tap at DHVL. Pours clear blonde with no head. Must on the nose. Flavour has dirty yeast, a bit rustic, mild funk. Fine enough, but not particularly complex.

On tap at DHVL, pours a clear pale golden, no head. Aroma reveals old leather and a touch of earthy funk. Flavour is earthy and tart, with gentle citric notes, old leather, and earthiness. Not much funk at all, but clean and easy to drink. It’s fine for an unblended.

Sampled at Dag Van De Geuze 2023 , 2019 vintage lambic. Pours dark, very unclear amber. Scent is funky, barnyard. Taste is full, very malty, low acidity. Lovely bready finish. I kinda like it, a lot even, but it's acidity is surprisingly low.
