BTN: Another old beer for Musar lovers

De Cam Oude Lambiek (5yo unblended lambic, bottled 10/2000)

This is one of the most satisfying and exciting beers I have had. As expected from this style, this has no bubbles. Hazy colour, but otherwise this could be mistaken for a grand old white Musar: lemon, funk, brett, earthy. Unlike white Musar, this is bracing, brisk, supremely citric and acidic, almost painfully intense on its own but blossoms with some fatty food. The bottle's best before date was back in 2010, but I would be surprised if this weren't in perfect condition a decade from now.

Sometimes I wonder if these unblended lambics would be appreciated by those who usually dislike beer as they are so vinous in style. Has anyone tried serving one of these blind to a beer-hater?
I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.
