Aug 30, 2006 Updated: Aug 10, 2008 Much needed re-rate, had this many times since, but had 2005 and 2004 Vintage bottles @ Ebenezer’s and damn this beer is sick!!!
Beer 15 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/1/06 from the bottle at Cantillon. I split a bottle of this beer with my brother after sampling the basics. This brew is very acidic and sweet, tart, and sour. It is very tasty and unique. I don’t think I have ever tasted anything quite like this brew. My brother thought it tasted like Champagne.

Aug 16, 2006 I figure I’d save this for my 400th rating because I shared it with my two best buddies (thanks Bri & Mike!) I’ve known since I was a kid. The aroma of this beer is so unique because not only does it have the usualy notes of barnyard, cheese funk, and leather but there’s also some hops! Yes hops my friends! And while it’s not on the level of an IPA it’s there and the melding of the usual suspects and the hops is terrific. Appearance is a dark orange color, slightly hazy, small head. Mouthfeel is full and round, but not stripping like other lambics could be. Flavors are simply incredible with leather, horeseblanket, earthy, some funkiness but added to it is the grapefruit bitterness which is simply awesome. I’m glad I waited to have the Iris be my 400th review and to have it with the company I tried it in was near perfect. If only my brother could have been there...
