Poured from 750mL bottle (bottled 21/03/2023; bb 26/10/43). Clear-ish gold with very minimal white head. Flat unblended lambic of quite nice quality (prefer other lambic styles more). Quite nice funk and horse blanket, light tartness, feint oak.

(Draft at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 17 Sep 2025) Pale amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of ripe plums, prunes and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with plums, prunes, barnyard, citrus and a fairly moderate acidity in the finish. No bitterness. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. Fresh and well balanced with a good plum character. Very nice.

750ml @ 🏡 shared with Phill, Farees (thx, for the beer!), and Josh.
Aroma: funky, a lot of fruit, vanilla, sweet bakery spices.
Taste: along the same lines, some acidity and fruit, some raw water minerals.
Overall: not as good as I would expect, but it's enjoyable (Ryan! 🤪).

Murky pale pinkish, with no head. Tart, the aroma being quite plummy. On the palate it’s quite tart. There’s a bit of fruit, but less than expected. It gets tart in the finish. Less balanced than other 3F.

375ml bottle at tasting.
Poured light orange in color with almost no head.
Tart, funky and dry. Apricotty. Wheaty, tart and mouth drying. Light farmyardy notes obviously. Good.

Funky, sour and earthy with some farmyardy yeastiness, tartness and cheesy vibes.

Bottle at CBJ Tasting. Hazy-opaque dark [something]. Aroma had orange-esque citrus and vinous tartness. Flavourwise it's then more seeet - sugary juice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Fruity sourness.

In mouth, a nice ground cherry, light lactic notes, light cork, light buttery notes, very nice and smooth. On tap at Brew Chiodo.

Bottle. Surprisingly clear dark amber color with no head. Aroma is chocolate, cherry, nice vineous funk. Taste is dry, but not too dry, good fruits. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation, nice!
