-- popped and poured – -- tasted non-blind over a couple hours, and again on Day 3 – -- bottled on Aug. 13, 2009 --
NOSE: classic gueuze nose – until the apricots start to step forward from the background; sour wet oak; nectar; complex; moderately expressive; oxidative note on Day 3.
BODY: hazy tan-orange color; little head; medium bodied
TASTE: very sour, with spices and oak; puckering acidity; lemon; really nice, although I would prefer a more mellow version; still very sour on Day 3; 5% alc.. This bottling features 2-year-old lambic which is then finished with fresh apricots for its final two months of aging in oak barrels.
B: 50, 5, 14, 17, 9 = 95
