Pours a clear blonde with large white head, that fades fast. Scent is powerfull OB style lambic, which i always enjoy. Grapes are present but not as intense as expected. Very herbal, young and seemingly cold climate style white grapes. I dont recognize the specific types, but than again i'm not ver knowingly about these, only knowing furmint from tokaji, so i doubt i would ever recognize them with my current (low level) of expertise. Taste is full, very drying lambic. Got the typical OB qualities, but is fzr more astrigent. Grape character remains as in the nose, young, herbal and cold climate style. Less outspokenly OB in the mouth, i get way less of that 'green apple' i did get in the aroma. High carbonation. Has a certain herbal-spice quality to it. Very decent beer, sure, but after having had the cider/lambic version recently, this is a far less breathtaking version to me. Obviously a very high carbo, which is to be expected in the concept, but pushed the dryness even more, making it a bit harsh for me. Honestly, my lowest expectations - almost didnt buy - were the cider lambic version, which was amazing. This one was second lowest, and whilst not being a let down, it doesnt surpass the expectations the same way the ciderlambic did.

Sesongstart for Mi2 på Cardinal, og vi er kommet til kveldens siste: klar rubinrød med fint skum som varer. Kirsebær og citron. Slank, lettdrikkelig og ganske så endimensjonal.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Slight coriander aroma on top of a dry fruitiness and a metallic touch. Medium body, again this dry fruitiness paired with subtle phenols from the Belgian yeast. Heavy carbonation. Some finishing bitterness. 180825

Not really getting much in the way of tannins or tea-like flavour. Slightly sharp lambic.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a medium white head. Aroma has a nice funky character, lots of champagne-like effervescence, and hay. Flavour is full of apple core and skins, lots of champagne-like effervescence, moderate funk, and a little hay. Highly carbonated, finishing funky with plenty of apple core. Very good.
