Finally! I’ve been looking for this beer for some time now and it was a wonderful sight to see it in front of me at last. Lightly hazy, soft yellow and light peach-fuzz colored body with no head. Seems it has lost its luster, if it had any to begin with. Aroma of light apples, moist hay, light barnyard notes and an easy-going sort of mild cheesiness. The flavor, at first, seems relaxed and there is no sour punch at the beginning, but the yeastiness grows on the palate towards the finish and the palate grows accustomed to it quite easily. Light notes of bacteria mixed with some honey and perhaps some tart, tangerine-like flavors. Halfway through the glass, and I don’t even realize it. Wow, this is an easy-drinking beer! Hints of carbonation grace the palate, not sharp or prickly, but large, airy bubbles add a light feel to the body. Slight wateriness at the end. A very relaxed and agreeable lambic.
I think in heaven, this is served as a daily session beer.
