Aromas are caramel, green apples and grapes, brett. Flavors are somewhat similar to but not as good as knows. Mildly tart and dry, loses the caramel. Decent but kind of generic in a Belgian fashion.
gave a cheers!

Pale amber, not much head. Leathery, complex, grapey, there’s a slightly syrupy note, good balanced barrel. Off-dry, grassy and leathery.

New grape lambic by Lambiek Fabriek, made with Belgium-grown Malvasia grapes, a group of varieties rather than one single variety, typically used in fortified wines because of their inherent sweetness. Malvasia grapes were used in lambic as early as 2002 when 3 Fonteinen created its legendary Malvasia Rosso, but they have only very rarely shown up in the beer world since (Cantillon did a grape lambic for Pasta Madre once containing Malvasia, but comined with other varieties, I believe). Thickly moussey, somewhat foamy and irregular, egg-white, crackling head retaining well but eventually slowly diminishing over a hazy apricot blonde robe with tangerine-orangey glow. Aroma of sour white grapes and must, wild peaches, wet wood, grape seeds, kumquat, even juice from a less-than-ripe orange, 'Bretty' urine, raw rhubarb, a whiff of Pineau somewhere, ripe gooseberries, young birch leaves, oxidized cava, grass, petrichor, wood sorrel, increasing freshly fermented farmland further into the bottle. Crisp, brightly fruity onset, small sour(ish) grapes galore - but combining with the lemony side of the lambic, resulting in a very citrusy effect, in between orange and lemon somewhere (Meyer lemon could perhaps pinpoint it) with green apple and sour berry layers underneath; a subtle minerality runs through the whole, propelled by the expected lively, cava-like effervescence. Rounded body, vinous, with a soft breadiness deeply soaked in lactic and lemony acids along with the Malvasia grapes' natural sours, but also their sugars, providing a bit of counterbalance and keeping things varied and entertaining. As usual with this producer, quite a bit of Brett funkiness lurks around the corner, with its typical 'animalistic' effects of damp hay, wet leather and even, ever so briefly, a whiff of aged pecorino romano - yet never stands in the way of this bright, persistently citrusy, 'sunny' sour-fruitiness, which shines and shines till the last drop. Woody tannins help the grapes' skins and seeds to provide dryness - the rest of that being taken care of by the sours - but the juiciness of the grapes keeps everything on the supple, vinous, highly drinkable side. Another great fruit lambic by this lambic factory - funky and 'barnyard-y' enough for the lambic afficionado, but also very radiant, succulent and cheerful. Lovely.

Purple pour, with a small pinkish head. Aroma is purple grape, currants, cherries, cassis. Tart, funky, lovely. Bright mouth feel, big, bright carb. Medium tart, low bitterness, light lactic notes, big cassis and black berry, light vinegar, tart, and funky..

Cloudy red, large pink head. Funky aroma. Acetone, funky sharp cherries, and sharp barnyard funk. Wet hay, wet grass. Lively carb, lovely mouth feel. Medium tartness, loads of funk, but it lacks the nuanced complex funk of a cantillon of 3 fonteinen. But all in all this is a true belgiam lambic, and one to enjoy and be proud of.
