375 ml "champagne" bottle, from Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6.0%. Pours with an enormous white (possibly slightly off-white) head, which slowly reveals a beer of hazy deep golden colour. Lovely complex aroma of farmhouse and fermenting fruits, hints of oak and spices. The flavour is fairly sour and tart, with a dry finish. Some hops in the aftertaste. Good stuff!

best before 2026. sampled apr 2009. red, large thick dark-pink head. sourish, a bit soapy aroma, also some cherries in it. cherry part of flavor is fresh. boy this is sour. very sour. acidic, sweetness (sort of) from red berries. palate is grainy and the brew foams up in my mouth. overall it does taste quite good, but seems to have some edges to it. the sour part is really nice - seems well balanced and "clean". (6,4,6,1,15). bottle from kihoskh, 2015-12-31, recent vintage. ruby red, small red head. (4, cherry and faint marcipan and glue aroma. too sweet. some cherry core woodness to it, that makes it drier. 7, Flavor is deep cherries, with a well balanced mildly sour background, more kriek than gueuze, but not over the top. super dry, and the lambic is dry, woody, and strong in the background if you look for it. cherries are front and center though. notes of leather and earth. In fact this is really good. my rating changed to 3.9

Saved for a special occasion - just booked my honeymoon. Perfect uncorking - the cork wanted to come out. Great looking ruby body with light amber highlights and a very thin and fast dying pink head. The aroma is heavenly; Perfect sour cherries, definitely mouth watering. Sweet aroma, some earthiness, a little malt comes through, but the ripe and sour cherries is amazing. Medium-bodied; Effervescent feel with the sour cherries, malt and a good amount of sweetness lingering behind. Aftertaste shows some complexity - yeast, grassiness, bitterness and yes the sugar and sourness is still here. Overall, a great lambic, definitely one to sample! Not my favourite lambic, but definitely worth trying again! I sampled this 37.5 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 17-November-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 02-April-2009.

I am honored to have tasted this beer. Surprizingly available here in this area but only 17 ratings? WAY! Beautiful look and swirling pour. Sour cherries and vinegar olfactory. Big and sour farmy youser. Fizzing sour cherry pie filling, simply lovely. Words cannot explain the enjoyment in these beers. Some of the best beer available in my area. Lovely lambic, lovely lambic. Sad this session is over. Need more, dee-lish experience. Oh my.

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Thanks to Mesandsim for getting this from their good friend at the beer stand. Clear gold, no head. Cheesy lambic aroma. It’s not very attractive. Lacks character as a lambic. Bit of a sting on the finish. Bit woody. Dullish. 2.8. re-rate from tap at White Horse Parson’s Green 18 months old. Very decent lemony lambic with a touch of wood. Really nice lemony notes not too acidic, but with the lemon drizzle cake edge to it. Does remind me a lot of an English cider.

Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Good fruity aroma with pineapple, pear and apples. Dry and rather ordinary flavour with yeast and sweet red apple notes dominating. Pleasant dry and slightly yeasty finish

cloud yellow, thick smooth white head. acid and sour aroma, balanced. nice faintly dry vineagra acid aroma. extremely dry flavor, wild fermentation (brett?) is clearly in the flavor. grapefruit. refreshing. faint sweetness, flavor is round and makes room for many interesting tidbids. one of the better gueue i’ve tasted.(7,4,7,3,16) bbf 2035 tasted 2015. cloudy orange, offwhite head. aroma is dry, hoppy, grassy, leathery, sourish, slightly sweet herbal, very complex, very very nice. Flavor is super dry, slightly herbal, wood, leather, i think the hops are perhaps a bit too much in the foreground, but nevertheless this brew is super mega nice.

Corked 12 oz bottle. Aroma is pleasantly tart, very attractive and makes my mouth water. Pour is one of the best; comes out slightly pale yellow and ends with swirling hypnotics. Nice tasty flavor of sour and bitter something. Creamy fine fizzing palate. Finish does have some bitter hops or something on the finish but it is controlled. Not sure if its winelike in the taste but it sure is not what most would think beer taste is. Other than that funky finish, a very good experience. Hides the 6% alky very well! Love those lambics!

Thin, lacy foam head. Gold-blond colour. Aroma is quite musty with some yeast present. Flavour seems rather raw and unrefined with some yeastiness. Aftertaste becomes sweeter and a bit sticky too.
