750mL bottle at the International Lambic & Kriek festival. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Very buttery oak on the nose. Flavour has a ton of buttery oak, sour wood. Very little good to say here.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some musty armpits, not really any funk. Flavour is more geuze-like, with moderate tartness, almost a lacto-like character, and a hint of citrus. Almost tastes more like a kettle sour than anything lambic-like, let alone gueuze-like. This isn’t good at all.

Small rim over amber to cola-coloured beer. Lactic acid, brown candi sugar, sour malts, dried brown fruit with a dash of lemon. Very sour, acidic, lactic acid², even whiff of acetic, but mellowed by the candi sugar. Lipsmacking acidity, puckeringly sour, dry out-effect, acidburn and -thinning. If it were possible, I would think back to the times of saccharine. Very sour - a wee bit too much, IMHO.
