light red and not much of a head. yeast and just a touch of fruit in the nose to compliment the lactic acid. sour and flavorfull this is an intresting lambic. the beer is funky and the natural yeast is the star.

Oct 7, 2008 Tried to share this ith a friend of mine who is into wine, he didnt care much for it and thouigh the cork had ruined the beer. It does have an extremly sour vinegar nose along with rubber and cherries. Tart and acidic flavor, with woody and cherry notes. Worked well with a zip in between a long evening with different beers.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle-pours a realtively clear chierry red with no head or lacing. perhaps bottle has gone flat? Nose- vinegar, lemon, leather and faint whiff of cherries. Taste- quite acidic,, horse blanket and sour cherry. Earthy, woody, yet juicy and mouth puckering. Very refreshing and drinkable as all hell.

Oct 3, 2008 750 ml bottle(2005 bottling imprinted on cork). Pours a slightly cloudy red color with a small pink head. The aroma is bold and funky with horse-blanket and county landfill. The flavor is sour, sour, sour; cherries and some wood. The mouthfeel is smooth and acidic. The finish is long with lingering acidity. Overall: This is not a sour for beginners--very potent, very tart.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful clear red with plenty of pink head. Slightly woody aroma with a hint of yoghurt. Light body with plenty of fine carbonation. Very tart with subtle fruitiness. Interesting complexity in the mid-taste with pear-drops and yoghurt. An acid kick in the finish. A unique and pleasant beer.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. This was one of my first Lambics, sampled some years ago at Quinns. I suppose you either love or hate the level of sourness on offer here....I’m leaning towards the former, although am not wholly pants down smitten.
I sampled this with some cave-aged spanish blue and thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Drinks like this is what food and drink should be all about....taste sensations that stimulate and make you sit up and take notice, then go back for more. That is why I have definite respect for this bottle of cherry sourness.
