Pours a thin hazy bright golden yellow. Not too much carbonation and as a result not too much head. The nose is sour, acidic, a tad sweet, vinous. The flavor is sort of a mess. There is definitely some strawberry there, but not very good. There is some light sweetness, a bit watery, light acidic bite. The palate feels thin, incomplete, lacks carbonation. Lightly sour. Finishes a little sour, starts warming up and leaves a residual old strawberry flavor.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, from State Line Liquors (Elkton, MD). Pours orange-amber, with minimal carbonation and a thin off-white head. Very tart and oaky aroma, with mild strawberry contributing some balancing sweetness. Flavor is very tart, highlighting the lactic acid and wood, again with only mild strawberry. Dry, tart, nearly mouth-puckering finish. When it comes to sour ales, I’m a glutton for punishment, and this delivers.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours a hazy straw color. No head to speak of. Smells strictly of sour funk. Taste extremely funky taste. Pretty much tastes like an old Lambic. No tart fresh Lambic taste to speak of. A decent Lambic. Very smooth.

Aug 9, 2008 [Sampling at Scheffel.] Soft and sweet sourness of strawberries. Darkred and no head. Nice lambic presence. Refreshing. More soft than expected.

Jul 31, 2008 Pours a deep orange with no head what so ever - looks like freshly squeezed apple-cider. The nose is clearly strawberries in a perfumish way. The taste is not that sour and quite singular with the strawberries as the overall- dominating element. The palate is more waterish than oily. The finish is quickly gone... not impressed
