(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy golden with a creamy, white head leaving a neat lacework. Some traces of Brett in the aroma. Only a medium body, very dry with a vague underlying tang. Brewed for the American market where there seems to be a constant demand for Brett - also in other styles than Gueuze/Lambic. For a Belgian this is not the real McCoy, but still it’s quite fresh. Thanks to Degarth for sharing. 090406

A hazy red beer with a huge bubbly brown head. The aroma is sweet yeasty and hoppy - the hops giving it a slight dusty touch, but also hints of berries. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of over ripe fruits and prunes, leading to a dry woody end. A quite drinable beer. Thanks MadsBerg for sharing.

Bottle. Ruby-amber color with a great off-white head. Tart aroma with cherries/strawberries, malt and a bit of dust. Sweet/tart flavor - nice fruitiness (again cherry/strawberry). Sweetness cuts any acidic tendencies. Nice balance, but could be a bit more tart. Nice complexity. A bit of a fruit roll-up flavor, but doesn’t take much away. Sweeter than most sours.

Very light colored amber pour with an aggressive head. Citrus elements aplenty with lemon, lime, and some flowery tastes. Light quality in the texture, it seemed to lose the citrus sharpness as it warmed up. Basically good, but not great.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden with floating, stale impurities and a creamy, white head. Fruity, sourish aroma. Malty body with notes of yeast. Seemingly a battle is going on in this beer between the malty sweetness and a weird tartness. Neither seems to win, making this rather unbalanced and flawed. 291205
