Bottle Blond, clear body. Rocky, slightly off-white head. Quite good wedding between lambic and triple in the aroma: wood, hops, flowers, horseblanket, ... Some soury lambic bitterness combined with sweet triple bitterness. Quite dry mouthfeel. Quite ok actually, better then I had this the first time. The balance is not perfect, but the lambic is quite well combined with the triple.

Bottled "tripel - gueuze" (BB 02/2010)
This is interesting one: triple mixed with Girardin lambik. Honey golden color, big cloudy head, some lace. Sour lambic nose: barnyard, black currant and hay. Very carbonated - foamy - mouthfeel. Typical fruity sour lambic flavor diluted with tripel-like yeastyness. Grapefruit is dominating with earthy notes. Sweetish lemony aftertaste. Interesting and good one.

Pale golden beer with a slight greenish veil; small but persistent white head. Bit of Brett, lots of citrus, and a bit of malt - and even a bit of alcohol. Which means quite balanced. Remarkable - the lambic is not overwhelming - its balance is perfect. Sweet, tripel-like and a dry, not-quite-sourish finish. Bit peppery too. Medium bodied; bit of slickness, even sticky ending. In itself it’s not a top beer - but its balance boggles the mind. I’m not a big fan of brewery hirers, but Dilewyns is one of those exceptions, that give credibility to the breed.

Bottle, thanks maeib, at Reading BF 06. Golden with lasting white head. Yeasty, citrus aroma, typical of a lot of similar Belgian golden beers. Blandish sickly tripel.

Hazy gold with orange hue; good white head, leaving textbook lace. Coriander nose, dull-sweet-sourish, perfumed. Coriander taste, celeri, soft sweet and sourish tang. Very dull, retronasal dry-spicey. Very well attenuated, however, but still a bit fizzy MF, light to medium bodied in occurence. Disappointing, and that’s putting it mildly. A Generaal, please. Without coriander.
