(Bottle 75 cl) Vintage 2004. Pours a hazy, reddish with a huge, pink head - quickly fading though. Aroma of sour cherries. Medium body with a very high carbonation, again sour cherries in the flavour - the sourness lasting all through the finish. 090507

Sampled during Minnesota first annual Sourfest and shared by several guests. Pours a hazy reddish amber brew with a thin pinkish white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film. Aroma of tart cherries, powdered and toasted malt, some barnyard funk, and a touch of oak. Taste is slightly sweet than tart with some carbonation and medium bodied texture. Flavors include semi-sweet cherries, a touch of yeast and golden grain malt, Finish is semi-sweet with a mild cherry and yeast aftertaste.

Pours dark hazy red with a short lived pink head. Aromas of horseblanket, cobwebs, cherries, and general funkiness. Flavor of extremely smooth funkiness, slight tart but not too sour, some cinnamon and a wonderful buttery cherry flavor. Smooth mouthfeel with low carbonation. Probably the best lambic I’ve personally had to date.

2005 vintage: poured deep red with maroon around the fringes and a nice pink head. aroma was lots of cherry with oak and citrus, and a slight vinegar note. flavor was much of the same lots of citrus and oak with the cherries. nice sourness with tannins supplying a well rounded character. nicely carbonated with plenty of tannins to provide structure, rather full feeling in the mouth. excellent.
