11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!

Vintage 2018. Hazy red, small, pink head. Aroma of cherry, raspberry, blueberry, lemon, rhubarb, vinegar. Taste has sour cherry & blueberry with lemony & lactic acid notes, bit funky, earthy rhubarb over soft doughy maltiness. Tart, acidic, red-fruity finish, funky raspberry & rhubarb. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Sharp but stylish.

11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!

Vintage 2020. Hazy red, thin, pink head. Aroma of sour cherry, blue grape, lemon peel, rhubarb, earth, old raspberry coulis, bit dirty. Taste has sour cherry, grape & lemon, somewhat funky with vinegar touch. Tart, red-fruity finish, earthy & acidic with obvious woody tannins. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Very vinous and that's an achievement, but a bit too much to my taste.

750 ml bottle at Ammutsøn during Zwanze Day 2021, bottled 31/08/2019. Golden, clear body, with a big, slightly yellowish head. Beautiful aroma of deep barnyard funk, red berries, rhubarb, red apple, some citrus. Tastes quite similar, a bit less funky and a bit lighter bodied. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes medium dry, moderate sweet, a bit funky, fruity, with apple, moderate berries, rhubarb, slight citrus. Tasty. The nose is my highlight, really complex, with lovely funk and fruit notes. Tastes a bit light bodied, while very fresh and balanced. Lovely, elegant stuff. Score: 9 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

0,75l from bottle at Ammutson. Vintage 19. Bottled 31.08.2019. Yellow almost clear color, small white head. Smells funky, citric, grassy, earthy, peppery, very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes citric, grassy, flowery, herbal, stone fruits, some apple notes, peppery. Finishes lightly sour with notes of funk, oak and stone fruit notes. Very nice, not much rhubarb noticeable, but lovely balance from the lambic, quite a bit of stone fruits going on

Pours clear, dark red. Scent is medium intense, grapes have the upperhand. Taste is sharp, loads of fruits. Dry, mild tannins. Some oak. Milder lambic. Too grape forward to me.

Bottle @ Belgian Summer Gathering Sept' 21, Evergem. Anno 2018, Bottled 10/07/2020 ?
Ambrée-cuivre, col fin rosé.
Arôme est fruité rouge, baies avec une petite touche verte herbacé de la rhubarbe - 3ième bière rhubarbe de la journée.
Rétro funk, malts, note de barrique.
Palais sur un caractère malt - ici aussi, haut effervescence, fruité rouge et noir, petite note herbacée végétal rendu par la rhubarbe qui perce bien sur la fin - garde une approche presque Cantillon en bouche.
