I sampled the 4 carboys of Lambic that I have had around for quite some time. I never sampled any before because I didn't want to bother the pellicle. I will be blending some Lambic for the production of a Gueuze. It was great to see that there was at least some Lambic that was tasting how I'd hoped it would. While the beer was clear, there was turbidity in the samples from the pellicle. The assessments are as follows:

Lambic 1 (Dec '05), Wyeast Lambic Blend: Probably deep gold in color. Big, nice horsey aroma with some light fruitiness. Flavor: Moderatly sour, hop bitterness, moderate acid, some alcohol warmth. Attributes: Good aroma, bitterness. Has a pellicle like the one I saw in the barrels at Wyeast.

Lambic 2 (Mar. 18, 08), Wyeast Lambic Blend: More color than #1. Maybe deep gold/lighter amber. Some horsey, earthy, darker aroma, sulphur. Juicy grapefruit acidity on the pallet, some late bitterness. Attribute: Big acidity and should be large portion of the blend.

Lambic 2GF (Mar. 18, 08), GueuzeFest I starter: Same color and wort as above. Dark blueberry, watermelon (!?) aroma, fruity, horsey, minty/herbal. Orange juicy palate, grapefruit bitterness. Acidic, but not as bright as it's brother. I think I can understand some of the character from the Boone Biers involved in the starter. Attributes: Really complex aroma.

Lambic 4 (July 11, 08), Wyeast Roeselare Blend: Young. Fatty, some buttery popcorn, fruity, maybe a little bit of iron. Too young, not much there.

I'm seeing blending with 1, 2, and 2GF. Mostly 2 with some 1 and some 2GF. 1 has all the hoppy character that one would want. 2 has the main body: sourness. 2GF adds some earth and complexity. 4 is way too young. This is what I know so far.
