Golden pour, lemon sour funk and barrel. Taste is similar, mediun tartness. Good carbnation, lots of oak.

On tap at bootleggers...pours golden orange with no head...aroma is sour,vinegar ... flavor is sour with a nice oak touch.. very drinkable..

Clear amber color/ white head. Earthy barnyard funk, tart lemon cherry aromas. medium bodied with light carbonation. Good caramel, cherry, lemon acidic flavors- not overly tart. mild booziness to finish. good.

Appearance: Pours a ruby copper with no head.

Aroma: Light red wine vinegar and oak.

Taste: Big time oak and soury funk.

Mouthfeel: Full and fizzy.

Overall: The best lambic of the pack. I enjoyed the bigger presence of wood in this compared to the other in this series.

A: The pour is a clear amber color with a fluffy cream colored head without too much in the way of lacing. S: A really nice balance of lactic and acetic acids. The lactic tartness really controls here with just a hint of vinegar. The sour cherries and oak are quite robust as well. T: The oak is quite prominent, along with the lemony sourness and a solid sour cherry flavor. The vinegar component is quite mild. The oak is really wet and musty, a really nice funk character. M: A medium body with a tingly carbonation and a slightly dry finish. D: The best of the lambics so far from Bootlegger’s. I could drink this one all day.

I had this on tap at Bootlegger’s Second Anniversary party. Vinuous, funky, enjoyable.

On tap; aroma of yeast, spice, vinegar and fruit. Subdued but quality nose. Flavor had more spice and oak. May be a lambic, but said sour. Very good.
