Bottle. Hazy orange pour, no head. Aroma of strawberries, hay, quite fruity and with some tangerine. Flavor is very sour, fruity and clean. Interesting brew. No carbonation.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow gold with no head and no lacing. Aroma is sweet and tart, with what seem like raspberries to me and yeast, as well as red wine. Flavor is tart, yeasty with a bit of fruity sweetness. I don’t detect specific strawberry notes, but there is fruitiness in the tart, woody finish.

375, corked and baled. Pours a murky medium amber with no head, lace, or legs. Completely still. Funky sweet strawberry nose; barnyard presence along with some sweet berries and hay. Slightly creamy body so still as to be watery. Not sure this is the desired result. Mild lemon and minerals on the mid palate. Tart finish.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours clear pinkish amber with a small pinkishe rim of head. Aroma is sour horse blanket cellar stable maneur but yet nice. Flavor is dry dry dry sour stable and acetonic in front, more tartness some hints of strawberries and lemon juice from middle wnding with a gush of saliva turning into a sweet fruity berry blend with bitter sour finish.

Bottle from Sam’s in Durham. Served in a Hanssens tumbler. Hazy peach color. Beautiful strawberry nose. Not at all faded. Moderate lactic and strong strawberry. Very good.

From bottle, pours yellowish to orange hazy with no head, aroma of olives, barnyard and strawberry jam, flavor of olives, pickles juice, a touch of strawberry cake and light diacetil tones, medium bodied, quaffable

375 ml bottle - 2007 vintage. Pours light copper orange, no head. Fresh aroma’s of citrus and strawberry funk. Light body with huge fruit sour base, some mild finish. Taste is citrus and typical lambic funkiness, reinforced by the forest fruits.

A 10 year old bottle purchased from Rick’s Wine and Grocery. 375 ml bottle split with my favorite wife. A: Almost completely flat, copper hue S: faint hint of strawberries, funk, tannins, grapefruit T: Sharp, very sour, strawberries have faded and have been run over by an angry, acidic sour monster M: flat (taking into account that it is 10 years old), biting, makes ya pucker D: I think this beer is past its prime, though still enjoyable. I’m glad that I had the opportunity to try it.

Poured a golden color with some light pink highlights at the Sour Fest. Aromas of sour/tart berries, light barnyard, and some lactic qualities. Flavors are same with some fruit, rather light overall, expected a little more.

Poured from a 375 ml bottle. At first the aroma had berries, after a few moments lactic acid dominate. The body is very thin. No carbonation. Flavor of lactic sourness, slight barnyard character. This is one of the most bland lambic that I have tried.
