Jul 3, 2009 Pin keg @ Belmont Station. I watched the brewer get sprayed with beer when he hammered in the pin. This had been aged one year. Great tart flavor and aroma, mild berry, a little hop. This beer is wonderful aged a year. I wish I had bought one and put away for a while.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottle shared at tasting. Poured a murky redish brown with white head. Aroma of vinous fruit, berries, funk, and wood. Taste is similar, with some grain and plenty of sourness. More wood comes through in the tart finish. Not bad, but not really great either.

Mar 27, 2009 500th Rating - Been aching to try this, thanks BuckeyeBoy!!! - Pours a murky amber with basically no head...that is some funky smelling shit...sour, underripe berries, astringent wood...flavour is similarly sour, grainy, light undiscernable berries...serious alcohol well hidden, watch out...

Mar 1, 2009 Pours clear cranberry colored with no lasting head. Smell is fruity, tart and funky, with a bit of oak and dust. Taste is lightly fruity with berryies and prety dry. Just not very flavorful though. Like spritzer water with faint fruit essence and funk. eh...

Feb 8, 2009 Tasting @ argo0’s place. Bomber courtesy of acrdz. Murky orange with a pink tinged beige head. Fruity berry nose, a bit of funk. Sweet / tart flavor, berries, a mild lactic sourness. Can’t detect the 8.3% alcohol in the slightest. Tasty!

Nov 19, 2008 Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA and sampled during Minnesota first annual Sourfest. Pours a semi-clear salmon colored brew with a fast dissolving light pink head that dissipates to a fine off-white ring. Aroma of golden grain malt, some tart cherries, a hint of gouda cheese, and citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of mildly tart cherries and strawberries, some cereal grain, and some wood character. Finish is slightly watery, not as funk dense as most other lambics but still has some flavor.

Oct 26, 2008 lots of berry funkiness in the smell .. pours a murky brown dark jack ruby colour .. lots of fruity tartness and some bitterness ... similar to an authentic kriek ... grade A lacing .. needs to be fuller to be great, but quite refreshing and strangely mellow ... ’’no more lies, i loved that bagel!’’ ... enjoyable sweet/tart balance , sourheads and lambic lovers might really like this .... MLS refs are a joke ..
