Blend n94 Season 18/19. Drank 02.02.23 out of a Hill Farmstead oversized wine glass.

Look - No head and little carb, gold color.
Smell - Distinctly lambic.
Taste - Acid. Too much at cellar temp, but when it got to room temp, it was more tasty, but still too much on the sour side for my taste.
Feel - Medium mouthfeel with low carbonation.
Overall - Just too sour and acidly of a lambic for me to really enjoy; I need to give another blend another shot just to see if it was this batch, or if Zenne might not be my thing.

4.77/5  rDev +1.3%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75
A: Pours crystal clear, dark golden yellow, almost amber, small fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. 4.25

S: Aroma is tart lactic acidity, a big minerality, some plastic like funk notes, only the faintest barnyard characters. Mild sherry notes give it a subtle fruitiness. A bit of spice on the finish like white pepper. 4.75

T: Taste is immediately wildly complex. There’s a sweetness up front followed by a sour tart punch, then lingering oaky vanilla on the finish that lasts forever. It’s not as aggressively tart as some lambics/gueuzes, likely subdued by the cask asking. Other characters I get are red grapes, tart citrus, moderate spice. Just fantastic, so much going on, and the finish is divine. 5

M/D: Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Carbonation lower than most in the style but insanely drinkable. 4.25

O: A gem of a beer. Well worth the hype. An elite beer. 4.75
