25/VIII/18 - sample @ BXL Beer Festival - BB: n/a (2018-1086) Thanks to the Belgian and Dutch Ratebeer crews for sharing today's beers!
Clear orange beer, small creamy white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: cinnamon, wood, spicy, brett, fruity touch, really nice! MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: little bitter, bit watery, fruity notes, some lemon, not a lot of character (yet?) though. Aftertaste: watery, soft acidity, some lemon, not very convincing... I hope both the geuzes and lambics will be getting some more character over the next few years, it tastes a bit too clean for now...

Tap at gollem. Pours unclear amber. Big, stable white head. Smell is funky, woody, oak, tart, lemon. Brett. Taste is sharp, tart, tad wattery. Oak, funk. Light carbo. Rather dry. Certainly not bad, yet not in line with the traditional brands of lambic we all came to know. Can use much more complexity.

Hazy orange body. Aroma of peach, barnyard, ... Moderately sour, lightly sweet flavour. Feels relatively young for its age.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Swafff 2017! Spontaneously fermented, closed fermentation tank, added air & not open fermentation, similar to Mort Subite. For the purists yes it is in the right area. 4 months old now. Didn’t enquire about the malt bill but it seems totally different from your usual lambiek. Murky orange amber, far darker than you would expect with no head. Nose is dirty barn funk, sour, vinegar, lots of actual rotting bread malt. Taste is rotting bread malt upfrotn, vinegar, sour spoiled bread, almost alcohol, rotting malt, grain,... Finish is quite acidic harsh. Surprisingly thick malt body. Totally different from what you would expect within the style, heavy malt body, actual rotting bread profile, it fades a bit as you get more used to it, quite sour,... Interesting & what is a very young age for this. Not your conventional lambiek, very interesting stuff even if purist will revolt at this.
