PhillyCraft (11988) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 11, 2021
UPDATED: NOV 11, 2021 FLN. Smells like grandma’s perfume, and potpourri plum as it warms. Flavor isn’t straight acid like I’m used to with De Cam. Fruit skin, florals, tart citrus, overripe purple plum. Lovely as it opened up in the glass. Best one I’ve had from them in…

bierkoning (18836) - La Tropica/Doarp, NETHERLANDS - SEP 24, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 24, 2021 Bottle. Orange color. Plums, hints of sulphur and oak in the aroma. Sour flavor, citrus, some sweetness from the fruit. Sulphur, dust, hint of oak.

Dedollewaitor (19875) - Odense, DENMARK - SEP 10, 2021
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2021 37,5cl @ Belgium. Pours hazy deep golden orange with a small white head. Mirabelles, fruity orange/apricot, wood and barnyard. Excellent level of funk. Bone dry, slightly tart with the fruit lingering. Boom. Amazing.

SinH4 (13263) - Garching bei München, Bavaria, GERMANY - AUG 21, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 21, 2021 Bottle. Hazy color with white head. Aroma is plums, earthy funk. Taste is yellow plums, leather. Oily mouthfeel with low-ish carbonation. Quite tart, but really good!

Vignale (6406) - Malmö, SWEDEN - AUG 20, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 20, 2021 Flaska från Beergium. Gyllengul, aningen disig vätska utan skum. Piggt syrlig doft med aningen funk, citrus, plommon, strå. Knivvass syra som skickar signaler från tungan ändå ned i ryggslutet. De Cams syrlighet är på gränsen, men de sötsyrliga plommon funkar riktigt bra ihop. Gott

Werckmeister (6298) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - AUG 14, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 14, 2021 0,375l bottle at home. BB 09/2040. orange murky color, small white head. smells funky, baby diaper, plums, pineapple, stone fruits, bit stinky, but overall very nice smell. full body, pearly carbonation. tastes plums, stone fruits, grassy, citric, some funk, oak. finishes pearly, lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of plums, grass and citric notes. very nice one, heavy on the carbonation, which is not a bad thing for me though. very very drinkable, yet I see this getting better in a year or two.

UPDATED: JUL 25, 2021 Bottle, 2020 vintage. Color: Hazy orange golden, fast disappearing head. Aroma: Fruity tart plum, subtle funky. Taste: Moderate tart, light sweetness, subtle farmyard and leathery funk, some hay, wheat malt, old hop. Nice fruity tart plum, plum skin and a little lemon and lemon peel. Some oak. Medium body, below average carbonation. Very fruity, very nice.

davidezdonz (1514) - Hong Kong, HONG KONG - MAY 18, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 18, 2021 A 375ml corked and caged bottle, 2020 vintage, with a best before date of November 2040. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass. It was a hazy golden orange colour with an almost two finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly to a nice thin cap, while leaving some nice lacing. Aromas of sweet plum, funky, dusty, yellow stone fruit, apricot, floral, perfumy, lemon. Tastes lightly sour, tart, perfumy, floral, lemon peel, stone fruit, apricot, plum, and a touch of oak. Light to medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation. Overall, I don’t know what a Mirabelle plum is supposed to smell or taste like. But after researching it a bit, it seems that the perfumy and floral character that I’m getting quite strongly could be from these Mirabelle plums. I’m usually not a fan of these characteristics, but it actually works well in this case, complementing the stone fruit apricot and plum flavours. I’m getting nice funk in the aroma, but not much in the flavour, which might have made it more interesting with the perfumy notes if there was. But still, it drinks easy and I enjoyed it.

JorisPPattyn (12750) - Wilrijk, BELGIUM - MAR 21, 2021
UPDATED: MAR 21, 2021 No head over a fully hazy dirty ochre beer, fully yeast/fruitladen, with no visible carbonation. Fruity, indeed plums as mirabelle or Reine Claude, and perfumey. Pastry fruitfilling. Mirabelles, lactic acid, lemon, but missing the classic barnyard/horseblanket. The fruit has the domination. Sweetish. Finish has an outspoken aroma of nutmeg. Acidthinning, low carbonation, fruitslick. More fruitsour than a real blended fruitlambic. Far from bad, naturally, but not traditionally great.
