37.5 cL bottle, trade with BelJohansen. Pours hazy orange with a slowly diminishing creamy white head. Orange and acidic dry wooden aroma. Flavour is solid acidic to citric with a nice orange fruity note. Has a distinct wooden note I only sensed during the first sip. The citric flavour makes me shiver. Bone dry yet fruity. Thirst quencing - nice one.

Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma has grapefruit and leather and a little strawberry popping in after a while. Bone dry and grapefruit peel tart, mixed with a nice natural strawberry flavour. Delicate tart strawberry finish.

Pours orangish golden with small white head. Funky, sour barnyard smell. Sour with citrus, wood and earthy flavors. Light to medium body with average carbonation and a dry finish.

Hazy orange with a tiny white head. Complex aroma of grapefruit, leather oak tannin and lime. Highly acidic, tart grapefruit juice flavour with just a touch of cane sugar.

[i] [b] Bottle picked up from Dranken Geers back in March, had this 11-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours orangey, no head, cloudy served slightly chilled. The aroma is slightly sour and farmyard but with some gentle strawberryness sat in the background. The taste is more strawberry than I anticipated but with a lovely sourness that just underpins thing beautifully. This could just about be one of my perfect summer sips, here I am sat in my garden with house martins and swallows screeching and darting overhead, the odd cabbage white butterfly fluttering past and the lilting hum of traffic on the M40 carried on an early summer breeze ahh bliss. I think this would be difficult to improve on although just once or twice I felt that maybe a little carbonation might have made this even more interesting, but regardless it was a truly lovely beer.

(From old notes, bottle (750 ml) at Pikkulintu on 2008-01-11) A bit acidic at the beginning and the acidiness increases as the beer gets warmer. Cherry in taste and nose. A good lambic. Unfortunately, I haven’t written down the vintage or BBE date,

Rated April 2008. Two bottles of the 1994 vintage courtesy of dpflanzer, wow, thanks again David. Pours still with hazy amber body. The aroma is full and complex and tough to describe. I seem to be getting smooth cherry fruitiness, earthiness, sugared lemon wedge tartness and rotting wood. The taste begins with a shiv of tartness followed up by blended and smoothed over cherry fruitiness that becomes earthy, wet cement, herbal and vegetable. Very nice experience. Again huge thanks to David for holding on to these for well over a decade and sharing with us.
