4.1375 mL bottle. Pours a clear, bronze color, with a big, bubbly, frothy, white head. The nose is orange pith, leather, cinnamon, grass, apricot, apple cider, and hard cheese. Dry and dusty, with a smooth, pleasant funk. Light to medium body, with a dry, crisp mouthfeel. This is a nicely balanced and enjoyable gueuze.
5.0la birra di quando è nato simone.
3.6Piwo mocno cierpkie i wyraźnie garbinkowe, z drewanianymi posmakami. Dzikość stonowana, rustykalna. Przyjemny balans owocowej słodyczy i średniej kwaśności. Super się pije, choć z czasem drewno lekko może przeszkadzać.
4.0Hazy/turbid golden/amber beer with a slight off-white head. Medium/heavy aroma; taste starts medium sweet and ends slightly dry. Wood, fruit, grain, lambic, tart and citrus. 8/4/8/4

4.0Bouteille (0.375 l, 13.50 €):Golden, hazy, lively(!) carbonation, big - quickly diminishing - loose white head, moderate sour-sweet fruity-lemony nose with the usual - here quite delicate - cellary aromas, "woody" background; moderate to sourish-sweet flavour, medium bodied and astonishingly soft; lingering sour-fruity finish with a delicate sweetness and a delicate "woody" and yeasty tartness, mild brandy-like alcohol-burn in the aftertaste. Extremely well balanced fizz of high deniability. Just a masterpiece...
4.2Co tutaj mamy? Mało klasyczny lambik, bo o wiele pełniejszy, z dość solidnym ciałem. Dzikość stonowana, tylko trochę stajenna. Więcej owoców i to i agrestu i pestkowców. Ładny, delikatny migdał na końcu. Drewno też jest. Nieco garbnikowe. Piękna rzecz.
3.7375ml bottle shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium to light amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeasty, oaky, vanilla, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sour, with a crisp, light, tart citrus fruits, dry, woody palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced.
4.2At first it's a dry, tart, burned tire, with smooth complex rounded fruitiness with acidic fruity aromas. The taste then becomes more mellow as you get used to it and you lose the burned tire which gives way to spikey fruit with astringency. It's super dry with lots of complexity. One pretty fine lambic.
3.7Bottle at a tasting. Quite complex, moderate sourness, moderate funk, moderately fruity. Med body, med carbonation. Good one.

4.1Bouteille bouchonnée 37.5 cl. Aspect : rosé/orange, fines bulles et mousse quasi blanche. Nez : levures, fruits, boisé, acidité. Bouche légèrement acidulée, effervescente et un peu pétillante sur la langue, ronde, goûts de citron, orange, pêche, fleurs, bois. Finale sèche. Bonne!
4.1Pours gold with a white head, and aroma that is notably astringent, farmyard and slightly sour apples. Taste has a bit more balance than the aroma, to be consumed slowly and enjoyed!
3.9Copenhagen 27/1 2019. 37,5 cl bottle from Ølhandleren in Give (web-shop). Nice matted bottle with a cork cap and a serious looking black label informing me that this is a mono blend aged in oak.
Pours hazy, golden yellow with big, bubbly white head. Settles as fine, thin layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.
Aroma intensely sour and acerbic. Sour green apples, unripe goose berries, vinegar, light funk. The cognac and oak is hard to pick up.
Light carbonation Slightly thick, oily, almost flat texture.
Flavor has a surprisingly evident sweetness. Medium sweetness followed by a stronger sour tartness. Aftertaste is bitter with light sweet undercurrent. Finish is dry and astringent.
Like all good lambics it reminds me of dry white wine. But then again - what white wine has such fine funk?!
3.7W aromacie funky i przyprawowość. Barwa bez zarzutu. W smaku dereczka, owoce, przyprawy. Przyjemnie kwaśne.
3.9Great beer to slowly enjoy. Aroma on the tougher side, with a bit in your face feel but still pleasant.
Subtly sauer with bitter aftertaste, that came as a surprise for me.
4.1Przepiękne. Wszystko co lambiczne. Bardzo wytrawne, fajnie. W stronę skórzastą, pestki z winogron, skórki. Ekstra.
4.0Barwa złota, piana spora.
Aromat stajni, skóry, drożdży, owocy.
W smaku kwaśne, owocowe, winogronowe, drewniane.
Alko całkowicie nieodczuwalne.
Dobre pifko.
4.3Aroma: pronounced funky note, lemon zest, ripe nectarine, bit of oak and alcohol.
Appearance: hazy golden-amber color with a three-finger off-white head
Taste: funky note, ripe nectarine, lemon zest, mild but noticeable oaky character in the background, medium-low sweetness, medium sourness, low bitterness
Palate: medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, medium astringency, medium-low alcohol sensation, nice medium dryness and crispiness.
Overall: Its flavor is nicely balanced and complex where the funkiness, citric fruitiness, nectarine sweetness are right in the place and the oaky character blends in very well. Its comfortable dryness and crispiness are quintessential for this style. Booziness is medium low in the mouthfeel, however, its 8.0% ABV is satisfying. really decent.
3.9Bottle. Hazy orange colour, minimal white head. Aroma of grape, gooseberry, berries, light leather, barnyard, wood, some lemon and lime. Taste is dry, medium sour, light to medium bitter, gooseberry, berries, grapes, leather, barnyard, wood, lemon and citrus peel. Quite bitter, woody, tannic finish with notes of fruits. Light to medium body, average carbonation. Quite sharp, but very rich and tasty stuff.
4.3Z zewnątrz wydaje się na bardzo przyjemny i spokojny smak. Po wypiciu jednego łyku dostajemy zastrzyk chaotycznego smaku owoców. bardzo przyjemnie się pije i naprawdę polecam.
