Bottle. (Vintage 15/02/2003). Took off cage and 15 seconds later the cork pops out on its own. Sweet orange peel, apple juice, musty yeast aroma. Hazy orange-amber with giant head. Orange-apple juice flavor up front followed by a sour, musty, barnyard. Nice sweet-sour flavor - sourness much more subdued than many gueuzes.

Amber-orangr color, no head. Sour, fruity redberry and rasberry aroma. Very fruity, a bit thin mouthfeel for a 6 % brew. Of course sour, but very balanced way. Fruity aftertaste. Almost session lambic to drink in quantities.

Bottle, 5.2%. Weak citric aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Nice stable white head. The flavour is citric with some malt. It seems to have a hoppiness which is citric and fruity without being superb. Clean finish.

Tap at 3 Fonteinen. Musty sour aroma with hint of sugar. Cloudy orange-brown color with big head. Musty sweet-sour flavor - sweetness nicely blends with the sourness and has a nicely sweet finish. The premiere example of the style - a must try if in Beersel.

Tap at 3 Fonteinen. Sour vinegar and musty barnyard aroma. Yellow-brown color (like cider) with no head. Smooth malt initially followed by a powerful tart/sour musty citrus flavor. Very nice and made a very nice appertif for my meal.
