Purchased this bottle along with many others of its caliber for a small group tasting and it one I was really looking forward to as it is beyond hard to come by. It was extremely tasty but I have to say that the fruit was almost completely gone.

750ml bottle, dated 10 February 2003. Served in a Drie Fonteinen stemmed glass on 18 August 2015.
Pours a hazy, darker orange body, with a slight brownish hue as expected, half a finger white head materializes briefly and then passes through town quickly before disappearing. It looks like a 12 year old beer should. Smells of wonderful funk, oak, straw; a very oak-forward nose with a fair bit of lemon. The funk is very potent and remains so even after decanting the glass out for a solid hour. Very impressive funk. Flavour is quite different, however. Certainly there is a large amount of funk, but not as much on the nose. A bit on the sweeter side. Wheat, malt, mild lemon and white vinous character rather than red, which I believe is opposite from what is actually used. Very dry. It develops more of a peppercorn character as it warms. Straw. Moderate acidity, certainly not anywhere near heartburn inducing. Good complexity. Mouthfeel is standard 3F; medium-bodied, softer carbonation as expected for a 12 year old bottle. Finishes with a hefty dose of oak and straw. Overall, this bottle made it through the ages and is still smelling like a champ. I can still recall the smell vividly. Taste-wise, I think newer lambic vintages/blends have more to offer, but this was still a very interesting tasting experience.

Thanks to GRG1313 for sharing this one at his tasting.
Lot: 2/10/13.
Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy off-white head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is sour with grain, fruit, floral, funk, acidic, and wood aromas. Taste is much the same with sour grain, fruit, floral, and funk flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of acidity on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer with a nice mix of sour fruit and floral qualities that are slightly better in the smell to me.
Serving type: bottle.
