Small bottle. Acidic, light horseblanket nose, subtle blueberries. Neon red, plentifull carbonation, crimson head. Hayish start, explosive spicy and sour berry notes, a hint cardemom. Medium body. Dry dry dry mouthfeel - like chewing the berry skin, the sparklyness helps over that.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a beautiful reddish-purple. Aroma is mixed musty, berry, woody. Very acidic and tart, complements the blueberries. I was fortunate to get to try this one, damn, I wish I appreciated sour beers more...

Oct 22, 2008 Updated: Oct 24, 2008<i>Sour Beer #100.</i> Much courtesy of BDR. Deep red or purple color with a medium head that quickly collapses into a film. Musty blueberry aroma, a little old oak and some winey qualities. Holy blueberry taste. It’s very leafy and herbal-like as well. Not just blueberries, but like they took a whole blueberry bush, knocked off the dirt and pitched the whole thing into the beer. I like! Very weak oak flavor as well. The tartness only arrives on the finish, which is also a bit of a Brett dryness. Freakin Yum!

Oct 13, 2008 2007 Vintage, 750mL bottle. Big thanks to my cousin, ggaughan for this treat. Pours reddish purple, capped with a moderate sized light pink head. Nicely acidic aroma; tart with some blueberries and white pepper in the background. Flavor is tart but not over the top. Tartness takes the forefront, with wood, blueberries, brett, citrus, white pepper, and a little herbal character. Berries play a complimentary role, rather than being the star. Long, mildly tart finish. Really nice beer, I’m glad I got the opportunity to try this. Thanks, Greg.

Oct 13, 2008 Deep, dark red with a small grey’ish head. Lovely, complex fruity and funky aroma. Vinous yet refreshing. Medium, slick body. Very full of taste. Starts sweet and fruity, only slightly sour. The finish has allot of blueberries. This beer has allot of dimensions, the aftertaste is dry with allot of genuine fruit taste. Generous, very tasty beer.

Oct 10, 2008 2007 bottle, 75 cl, from Ølbutikken. Deep purple red colour with a small pinkish head that gradually disappeared. Complex fruity and funky aromas, fruit evolves from pure blueberries to more cherry character after a while, but the lemony Cantillon lambik nose is still strongly present. Strong impact by sharp lemony flavours at first, followed by more mellow blueberries, to be ended on a long, woody, acidic dry note. Truly wonderful.
