Cork popped and rapid foam streamed out of the bottle. Quickly poured into a tumbler. Horseblanket with hazy cider appearance. Thin, constant head. Sour, bitter taste -- like sour patch kid without the sweet turn. Citrus rinds. Fizzy with a lasting sour finish. Refreshing

Bottle. Dirty gold colour thickish white head. Farmyardy lemon aroma, some sourness. In mouth fine, with more sour lemon and funkyness. Finish has more of the same. Bit of an aquired taste. Not as extreme as same. Lemony acids balance the funkyness. Fine and quite interesting. Not sure I’d want more than one of these a week though. 3.6/5.0. Re-rate Christmas Day 2008. First beer of the day and what a way to start. So drinkable it is untrue. The farmyard, bretty aroma, the lemon flavours, the mouthfeel is soft and just right with a little fullness from the carbonation. Refreshing. Would have this as my first beer of the day, in the middle and at the end. Almost as good as the bottle at the Waterhuis in Gent pre-Zythos 2008 that is the best I’ve ever had.

Bottle from Utobeer, Attractive scarlet colour with pink lasting head. Intense raspberry jam aroma. Expect it to be sicly sweet, but the hit of sourness that comes in later, balances it. Good integrated fruit. Real fruit flavour, not artificial. You can really taste the pips on this. Some vanilla raspberry ripple ice cream-esque. Wonderful quality fruit lambic

Dark orange nearly opaque, with a short lived champagne like head. This is an intense gueuze that attacks the palate and the throat with good, but strange spontaneously fermented weirdness; it actually made me cough a few times. Powerful eye watering aroma that includes wheat, yeast, and juniper. Powerful flavor. Sour, light citrus, herbs, and more yeast. Strange slimy sediment that doesn’t harm the flavor.
