Pours yellow-amber colored, with a small, but relatively stable head, which leaves with a bit of lacing on top of the glass.

Utmost wooden, with a flowery, soft wood bark fruitiness, revealing a refreshing, sweeter peak, cutting through dust and subtle funk. Lots of nutmeg, scented oak and bakers chocolate together with gooseberry and ramson creating a unique, very intriguing nose.

Soft on the tongue, with a medium, soft carbonation making the liquod flowing over the palate almost too easily.

Scentened, slightly fruited wood bark from the very beginning, together with cream cheese and a wet hay funkiness among with dried leafes. Features a late sourness, blending completely into the sweet, sprizzy fruit qualities of the beer. Coates the tongue with forest earth among a pleasant softness during the finish, still featuring a lot of fruit characteristics, reminding of cucumber, green apple piths and sugar coated peach pulp.

A very successful experiment, integrating a profound wooden complexity I haven't experienced in any other Lambic. The startling thing about it is, that its wooden earthiness also seems to produce the vivid fruit flavors, as those blend perfectly into the beers appearance.
