On cask at Max's 5th Belgian Beer Fest. I've never had a jonge lambic and this was a treat, the first beer I had today and had the pleasure of revisiting several times over the course of the day.
A: Pours a ruddy orange with no semblance of a head, just a few bubbles. For a cask pour of a style that doesn't have head retention as a strong point, this is not bad
S: Holy crap. This is very clearly a Hanssens beer. Sour, funky, acidic and has a definite hop character that's pretty unique. Think 6 month old IPA aroma/flavor and imagine it with a strong lambic base - pretty good, eh?
T: Opens up massively sour. The Hanssens stuff on cask is even more sour and aggressive than out of the bottle. Funky and horsey, there's a lot going on in this beer. The faded hop character is prominent. There's a certain sharpness that's unique and I would guess that's due to the "young" nature of this beer. Finishes long, dry and sour
M: Pretty spot on. The Hanssens stuff isn't typically carbonated too much and neither was the first pour from the cask. Light-ish with strong acidity and sourness, pretty darned good
D: Pretty darned good. Again, the aggressiveness of the sourness is remarkable and if it's not your cup of tea, it's going to be undrinkable but if it is - you're in for a very special treat
