Bottled, with the brewer. Huge yuzu nose, big citrus, very light funk and leather. Flavor is big yuzu but not sweet. Deceptive, as it seems sweet at first, but that is the huge fruit. It is actually very dry, clean, with only a bit of lambic character (4 month old jonge lambic is used). There is some horse blanket and dust, though. Crisp palate. Cloudy, lemon-gold color. Very nice.

Bottle with the brewer. Almost black, orange-brown with a huge, airy head. Rounded, woody nose, chocolate, figs, cherry, spicy yeast. Great BA falvor, subtle yet unmistakable. Smooth, rich, great chocolate, dried fruits come out more than in the original. Silky, soft palate.

Second batch. Bottle nr. 350/1000. 75 cl. bottle sampled @ GBF 2013. Darker amber orange than expected with some white bubbles. Smell is fruity, tad sweet, flowers, oranges, lemon, flowers with some funk. Taste is bitter oranges, musty with some funk, citrus, light cinnamon, malts showing a bit, some bitter citrus peel and some barn. Reasonable body and little in the way of carb. Sakura is a very interesting “fruit” for sure to add to lambic, I really enjoyed this, quite a bit more than the Ume one. Bit confussed about the complaints about sweetness here because from what I get sakura simply has a very sweet and rose-like flavour. You wouldn’t expect a banana-lambic to be über-sour either would you? (Thx! to the RB Crew for sharing).

No head but a small white rim, very faintly veiled orange-amber beer with Grünstich Sour, woody lambic nose with lots of sweet caramel - and even sweetener, IMO. Sourish, tannines, better, but the finish has again sticky caramel, even speculoos(spices). Lemon, lemonfudge, unripe fruit. Dry-out effect combined with stickyness - ugh! It’s not really bad - but it’s exactly how a lambic ought NOT to be.

Bottle at Délices et Caprices. Clear deep golden liquid with medium white head. Aroma of flowers, roses, spices, lemon, red apple skin and cinnamon. Wow, this is different. Taste is light to medium sweet and light sour with notes of cinnamon, flowers and earth. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Weird, but still quite nice.

Beige head on a very dark body. Coffee esters in the nose along with mild chocolate notes. The yeast also has an aroma which adds an extra dimension to the smell. The taste follows the aromas, the yeast and dark malty flavours blending together nicely. Dry and roasted malts more than a sweet malty brew, this is a solid beer for the winter months and I enjoyed my sample very much.

fine, i wasnt at your tasting. i drank this at delirium, after my own dad poked the bottle in my face (’look what i drank the last bottle of @ delirium’ multiple times. to bad girls, i did find one ! shared it with onley 1 person. a non beer geek. who now could own 50 % of the people , having drank this and fou foune, mamouche, lou pepe kriek, ... as litteraly withing the 50 first beers ever drank . :p lol. just for the sake of fucking things up ! anyhow, back to the beer ! pours flat, lager-looking colour. no foam, no sign of carbo . smell is brett, funky taste has a small hint of carbo. not enough to call it carbo, but enough to give it ’life’ . taste is pretty weird. buttery, flowers, funky , lambic. so intresting, so good !
