Hazy blond with no head. Aroma is like a lambiek with a little strawberry. Flavour is similar but much more intense. Strawberry sour candy. Lingering tart finish.

Hazy red colour with no head. This is more floral and sharp than the Schaarbeekse version. More natural though. Acidic burn in the finish.

Clear dark red colour with no head. Aroma has a lot of cherry but the flavour quickly switches to raspberry which is a good thing. Fresh and tangy fruity finish.

Cloudy blond appearance with no head or carbonation. Aroma and flavour are very floral and much more complex than other lambiek. Good balance of sweet, sour and old barnyard funk.

22 February 2019. Bierproeverij CVO Gent, thanks Tim, cheers to Ghent beer posse & the lovely Anke. Bottled: 4/2016. Pours clear pale golden with a small, frothy, off-white head; little lacing. Aroma of green apple, leather, vinegar, lactic acid, wood, cellar, dust, cheese. Taste is heavy to medium funky sour, quite leathery, lactic acid & vinegar, toned down by (sweetish) green apple; light woody bitter then, faint tannins, yeast & sourdough, a bit metallic & cheesy, still very much lemony sour too. Very dry, mouth-puckering finish, woody tannins, cellar, apple & lactic acid. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Very good, just a tad too much lemon & green apple for my liking.
