Bottle, at Plan B, Copenhagen. Beautiful red colour, pink head. Delightful cherry aroma. Sour cherry flavour on a funky background. Very good.

2004 bottle shared with Eyedrinkale on 8/5/2005. Thanks so much for the bottle Jacob, this kicked ass!
Pours the most lovely of cherry reds, with some strawberry-yellowish notes on the edges. Resembles a ripening sour cherry quite nicely, with the yellow to orange to red colors. Mountains of head rise up and is well-retained. Foamy and pinkish-white, with plenty of lacing as it recedes. Needless to say, it is unfiltered. The aroma promises good things to come, with a delicious light acid and tart cherry juice combination, backed by hints of dry vanilla and cask wood. The cherries are rich, yet dry and tart. And then the flavor. . .Oh good lord, this is something else!! As much as I appreciate and love Cantillon kriek, I think this one just took over my number one spot for favorite fruit lambic. An easy 10 for flavor, for me, as it is just perfectly balanced between pure, fresh, real tart cherries, dry and puckering, and a wonderful light malt that adds the perfect amount of balance, in sort of a honey and vanilla creme sort of way. The tartness is strong, but not quite as puckering as an old Cantillon kriek. Granted, these are very different beers, so it’s not really right to compare them. But wow, such fresh, boisterous cherry flavors with light funky-cheesy barnyard flavors. I really like the use of these young, sour cherries versus a more black/sweeter cherry. Such an exquisite balance between sweet and tart, sour and drinkable. If I had access to more of these bottles, I fear I wouldnt be drinking much else as a session beer.
This is one lambic I’m glad I have drank young, I couldnt bare to see any of this magnificent cherry flavor recede with age. Wow, cheers to Mr. Debelder. If the 3F Framboos is better than this then god help me when I try that one. So this is why Joris likes 3F so much. . . .
2003 bottle at GABF party. A darker, more tannic and almost sweeter smelling beer. Funkier and with more cherry pulp smell and less bright, tart cherry juice. The flavor was significantly less bright and tart than the 2004 bottle. I mistook it for just the plain kriek version. Still a wonderful beer, and I don’t imagine there to be any significant difference in quality, I just think this beer is best drunk as young as possible to capture the boisterous, tart, fresh cherry acids.
2005 bottle The odd things about this one is that it, when fresh was EXTREMELY tart, pungent, sour, acidic. I daresay, almost too much so? Just a bit overdone, I guess and without the dainty, delicate brightness of the 2004 batch. So, hoping that it would meld in to what the 2004 became after a year (near-perfect), I tried it again on 8/27/06 thanks to Tiggmtl. Wow. Almost slightly chalky, very weak sourness. The fruit has really gone South. Seems like a lot of the wheat smoothness shows through. No real flaws, just WAY too reserved. Just sort of there, unfortunately. Hopefully that was just an off bottle. Will try it again soon, no doubt. 8/5/7/4/15

Bottle: Poured a clear orangey color lambic with a huge slightly off-white head with excellent retention. Aroma of barnyard and sourness is quite evident. Taste is so well balance between sourness, tart, little bit of acidity, green apple with some nice funky yeast also thrown in. Probably one of the finest Lambic that I had the chance to try and the fact that the acidity is lower then Cantillon makes it easier to drink larger quantity. Re-rate 2006 (bottle date 1999): Complexity in this beer is just incredible (farmhouse, horseblanket, oak, tart) and appearance is just perfect (huge foamy head with perfect retention) Can really ask more from a gueuze. 2008 re-rate: 2007 dated bottle. Not as complex as earlier vintage and definitely not as funky. I wonder if it need to age or Fonteinen own lambic is less funky their the Girardin or Lindemans they were using previously to mix?

Reddish-purple colour with a light purple head. Big aroma of brett, leather and cherries. Complex, fruity, leathery, dusty. Vast tartness and complexity. A classic kriek.
