A really beutiful beer with a clear red color and a beutiful light red head. The aroma is sharp and sour from the wild fermentation but also contains sweetness - a very strong aroma. The flavor is carbonated in the beginning with some sweetness, though in the beginning dominated by the wild fermented sharpness also containing some metallic notes. After this start the sweetness hits you mixed with some sharpness and ending with a little bitterness. The sweetness lingers on your lips.

Witte lambic holds the middle between a Belgian witbeer and a lambic, being a wheatbeer... It exists on draught only.Colour: pale-aleish. Thick white head. Nose of nutmeg, wheat, coriandre and some citrus. Taste is coriander, wheat, lactic acid and a lemony, perfumed flavour. Aftertaste is more lemonrind and coriander, the mouthfeel being prickly but not fizzy.

Golden-orange colour, slightly hazy. Little white head, relatively stable for a gueuze. Nose of solvent, (wet) wood, green apples, grapefruit. Fairly acidic taste, but really restricted to lactic acid. Extremely refreshing. Wheat notes. Fruity and estery, something exotic. Mouthfeel is refreshing and spritzy, but with some acidic throatburn - might there be some acetic acid-sub-tasting-treshold? Aftertaste consists of fruitacids and esters vying for dominance, without ever gaining, and then slowly receding. Probably still traceable in half an hour. Beautifully restrained gueuze - unbelievable it still exists next to the filtered and sweetened rubbish the public is supposed to like.

Rerate Oct 31, 2003: Pale rose colour, white head. Strong rasp-berry flavour. It is a nice rasp-berry soda.

Looks like a gueuze beer: brown, little treble. Fruity, sweet aroma. Dito flavour, though the original lambic flavour hasn't gone to waste.

Bottled. Clear red. Winegum aroma. Very sweet, big black currant sorbet flavour. Tasty, at least if judged as an alco-pop.

Clear orange color, with large bubbles. Firm head. Sour aroma, bit hoppy maybe. Sweet sour taste. Bit spicy even. Sparkling palate. Sparkles on your tongue. It's more sweet than other lambics, and less sour. It is more like a cold soda.
