Pale gold straw color, small pour but apparently loose white head with decent retention. Oak, mild tart, soft citrusy notes, must. Medium body, soft carbonation.

All four of these next to each other at lambik-o-droom in Lot displayed a beautifully suspended orange-amber haze with short but surprisingly persistent khaki heads.

Impressively fluffy and frothy, in contrast to Lente, this exhibits more strawberry and orange marmalade, but otherwise continues the throughline of being so well-blended that it defies description. The acid is so well balanced, and the dryness deftly tempered, it's simply delicious.

Seriously, how is this happening?

Shared bottle, RBNAG 2011. Golden colour. Difficult to distinguish this from the Lente, but Zomer is slightly less woody and even more lemony in both aroma and flavour.

2011 vintage; drank 6/26/21 @ the Seventh Tee.

Decanted for 20 minutes before imbibing.

Delicate, elegant and flavorful; this shows the error of the American style of puckering sourness by way of soft citrus, supple wheat & faint tartness.

A true expression of the brewer's art.

Bottle: Poured a dirty golden color lambic with a rather large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of funky Brett notes with some tart notes as well as oak. Taste is a complex mix of tart notes, oak and funky barnyard notes with very little sour notes with some light chalk notes also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid lambic and quite lively considering the age of the bottle.

Bottle at Akkurat in Stockholm. I had this the night after having Lente. I was expecting Lente to be clearly better, but Zomer was a close second among the Seasons. A little darker in color than Lente with that same perfectly balanced taste. Each of the Seasons is different, but it is hard to pinpoint why. Just so well done.

Pours a dull honey hue with a loose, white head. Nose expresses citrus, rind and must. Taste follows nose. Mouthfeel is light and acidic with a mild carbonation. Overall, quite delicious. A close second to Herfst in my opinion.
