Orange/red color with a fleeting white head. Huge seedy woody aroma with barnyard and fresh raspberries. Light/medium body. Flavor starts dry and tart with raspberry seed, wood with citrusy lemon and dry hay; nicely complex with a fairly strong acididty throughout. Another fantastic 3 Fonts brew. As for the big price, i’m just glad to have had the chance to try this without jetting to Belgium or giving up half my cellar stash....

(750ml) Thanks to MartinT for sharing this treasure. Pours a medium white head with a brown-red body. Nose is earth, seed, green leaf and tart raspberry. Flavour is nicely soured, limes and raspberry. Lasting tart finish.

750ml bottle purchased at Ebenezer’s. Poured a bright reddish amber in color with a small pink head. Aroma is very tart with berries, brett, oak, and funky. Taste is extremely tart. Flavors of sour cherries, raspberries, oak, barnyard funk. Finish is dry, and very nice. I really enjoyed this one.

750ml, thanks cmubeerman - dated Feb., 14th, 2007. Cloudy pink color with a pinkish head. Aroma is awesome. Super sour and tart, light berry notes, musty, woody, wet hay/wool. Flavor of sweet tarts and sour cherries and raspberries. Finish is almost painful and lemony. Light drinking and superb.

Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, my bottle thanks to the amazing generosity of Glouglouburp!. Cloudy deep ruby pour with an average-sized frothy head and thick strands of lacing (I drooled looking at it, that’s a 5!). Yummy aroma - look, I don’t have the words to adequately describe this beer, so: sour-lemon-heavy yeast-burnt rubber-sour green fruit .... you know; GOOD! The taste followed right on - more fruit, more funk, dry, pungent, sour - I wanted to just drink it all myself, such a great Lambic. Thick bodied, hugely acidic but still the fruit character held its own - one of the best fruit sours I’ve ever had. Thanks again, Dany!
