Golden, some haze. Almost still.Aroma (4)
Very tart, very earthy. Hints of dark fruit.Mouthfeel (9)
Light body, no carbonation. Quite tart and still quite malty. Really dries out the teeth and tongue. Lactic like a Berliner Weisse without the carbonation. Some green apple as it warms, with black peppery notes.Overall Impression (3)
Bottled 2005. "Organic lambic aged three years in oak." -

"Three-year-old unblended lambic." Golden, very low fine carbonation and head. Cinnamon aroma, with faint bananas and phenolics. Very light body, sour, fairly bitter. Astringent. Paris asks, "Has it gone bad, or is it supposed to taste like this?" Good question! We both have very little experience with Lambics like this.

Golden. Fairly hazy. Moderate foamy head.Aroma (3)
REMARKABLY pungent. OK…intensely smelly. After the initial tart, earthy, almost enteric aroma fades, there's a nice maltiness.Mouthfeel (9)
After smelling it, I'm almost afraid to taste it. Very light body. Low carbonation. Swetly malty, but also quite tart. Fiercely earthy. Smoky. Sort of a…"used diaper" character.Overall Impression (1)
It's good, but it's a bit intense. Upstream Gueuze-Lambic had all the great wacky flavors, but was much more drinkable. Would age change this beer for the better? Bottled in 2005. -
Date: October 7, 2001 (#3910)Package: bottledPlace: from the breweryScore: 16 pointsOverall Impression (3)
Golden, high carbonation, massive but short-lived head. Tart, yeasty aroma, with Bretttanomyces and alcohol. Light body, intensely tart, very dry, yeasty, and fruity. Doesn't have the depth of flavor that the Lindemans had. Thanks to Steve Olson for the sample!

Deep yellow. Hazy. Low head.Aroma (3)
Tart, yeasty, "horsey".Mouthfeel (9)
Light body, fairly fizzy. Tart, with a nice sweet malt undertone. Tasty Brettanomyces character. Milder than Bruocsella 1900 Grand Cru. Very dry finish.Overall Impression (3)
One bottle for now, one bottle for the cellar.
