On tap at DHVL, pours a clear golden with a tiny head. Aroma is subtle with light funk. Flavour is fairly sharp, with funk, lemon, and leather. Finishes very citric, but well-balanced. Solid one, but not my favourite of the unblended lambics.

Draught at De Klomp. 4 year old unblended, 09 vintage. Almost clear golden liquid with small to medium white head. Aroma of lemons, apples, light barnyard, light dust and apple skin. Taste is dry and medium sour with notes of lemons, apples and light barnyard. Very balanced with a low amount of funk. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Really quite nice.

Draught @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 21.04.2010
Aged approximately one and a half year
Aroma is sourish with earthy notes, lactic acid and hints of grapefruit. Flavour is sour with earthy notes, some grapefruit and lactic acid. Now I could finally taste the gastric acid typical to beers based on this Lambic. I didn’t observe it at younger samples – perhaps it evolves in a year or so.

THE Sour and Saison tasting. Growler fill from Paul - Cheers Ears! Hazy amber gold beer. No head. Light crisp palate, a little dry. Tiny bit earthy. Mellow sourness and mellow fruits, apple being most noticeable. Neutral finish. So very drinkable. This is one of the few lambics I could happily sink a few pints of.

"Growler" at THE Sour and Saison Tasting, London. Thanks to Paul for sourcing this one. Pours hazy gold with just a few bubbles for a head. Sweaty, funky aroma with hints of sugar. Light sweet flavor with decent funk, grassy bitterness, mellow fruits, background bitterness. Light bodied with fine, soft carbonation. The beer seems like it has flattened out a bit but there’s still some kick here. Semi-clean finish with some light, grassy hops, light sugars, some very mellow lemon and lightly bracing acidity. Not bad.

Filled at the brewery, consumed at THE sour tasting (part 1). It pours hazy golden amber, with pretty much no head. The nose is barnyard, sour, faint vinegar, apple and pear. The taste is very smooth, light vinegar, tart apple, sour lemon, pear, hint of vomit, leaf and some bitterness, with a bitter-tart finish. Light-medium body and pretty much no carbonation. Smooth, mellow and very easy drinking.

Fresh from the brewery, served in 10 L jerrycan. Only slight hazy golden color. Aroma of barnyard, hay, still some ammonia-notes in it. Quite dry. You can note the resemblances between old and young lambik, but the older one is definitely more improved and matured. Nice one.
