Pours a bright rosy red into a tumbler. Slight head hugs the rim. Sharp lambic notes -- no sign of the kriek. Sharp lactic sour patch with very slight sour cherry undertone. Lasting lactic finish. Very enjoyable and refreshing.

Very young lambic from the reopened Oud Beersel brewery, draught of course Fully hazy orange, no head. Spring flowers, wood and freshly cut plywood, lime tree flowers ( lindenbloesem ). Very dry, again lime blossom, lime tea. Very light, and somehow, it doesn’t taste finished, needs absolutely more ripening. I cannot yet take the "gueuze" and "kriek" seriously as from the new brewery.

Bottle. Very acidic aroma with a hint of cherries. Almost clear, beautiful red colour. Small pink head. The flavour is quite bitter, but not very acidic. Also has some earthiness and of course cherries. The aftertaste is harshly bitter. Mouthfeel is very swelling.

Bottle. BB NOV 08. Fruity, perfumy, soapy aroma (not unpleasant). Dark golden colour. Very big, stable white head. The flavour is sweet but also has a horrible band aid, phenol flavour. Crappy plasterøl.

Bottled, BBE November, 2008 Clear, blond body. Nice creamy, white head. Quite unpleasant, alcoholic aroma of spices (coriander), javel (cleaning product), yeast. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Actually it has a quite weak flavour, somewhat watery. Some hints of malts in the flavour too. Medium bodied. Tastes like (as Joris mentionnes) infection. I hope the first bottles of their gueuze and kriek will be better than this one.

Generous pink head, persistent; cloudy red-amber color. Mature aroma, wood, cherry stones, light sourness and light dust. It’s highly carbonated, but smooth as well; the body is weaker than expected; there is a light cherry flavor and sourness; the final is weak and dry.
With the age it lost some body, reduced the sourness and didn’t gain enough complexity.

Hazy amber color; giant head, compact; fine and persistent perlage. Strong Lambic aroma, sour, with a sharp cherry note, and cherry kernels, magnesia. Aggressive mouthfeel, sharp, dry, sour, a bit astringent, with just a touch of fruits. Very good!

One of the best aromas in beer; it includes yeast, and fruit. Flavor is a little sour but not as sour as some, there is an apple cider quality to this beer that makes it a very approachable gueuze. Flavor has citrus fruit, juniper, some malt, and more yeast. A cloudy orange beer with very little sediment. Great beer.

Bottle shared with Hunsell at Café Bar Le Duc, ’s Hertogenbosch. Light blond lambic with a creamy white head. Aroma of sour cream and chesse and horseblanket. Puckering sour lambic with aging cave dust and light sour cherries. Rich mix of sour and fruity notes, earthborne flavours from the cave. Excellent. And a steal at 3 euros in a bar. May 1, 2005.
