Apr 20, 2007 Split my bottle between a flute glass and a tumbler to get the different effects...
Wow, what a punch in the face. I’ve said that before about beers, but this one takes the cake. Very sour lemon/cherry flavour! There is a faint straw/citrus/yeast/fermentation aroma and a very dry almost salty (as a previous rater had said). Almost no head, even with a vigorous pour. Wow, as I drink this, it really makes me pucker. Its a hard one to swallow, my wife took one sip and almost lost it. It’s not for the faint of heart.

Apr 14, 2007 Updated: Oct 11, 2009Bottle from Uto. Opaque pinkish brown with no head. Not like the picture at all. Funny, it’s more of a lemon lime nose than cherry, much like a regular geueze rather than a kriek. Sour and tangy, which I like but still no sign of cherries, did I get a mislabelled bottle?. Salty with notes of yeast. Acidic and fizzy, sediment from the last pour adds some body. Good but not what I expected. (8/3/8/3/16)
Bottle from Nelson Wines. Wow, this is the best bottle of this I’ve ever had, so much rich black cherry and lambic funk, wow, just amazing!

Apr 12, 2007 Pours dark amber with almost no head. The aroma is lightly sour and quite tart with some light cherries that add to the other tartness. The aroma is quite full for a lambic. Medium body that is more full than most lambics with lots of crisp sharpness. The taste starts with a lush version of tartness, wild lambic yeast, sharp spice and tart cherries - very rich for the style, yet there is a sharp citric bite. The finish has much of the same. Thumbs up </B. for this enjoyable and wonderful lambic.

Apr 12, 2007 750 ml bottle Very sour acidic cherry aromas off this very ruby brew. Very small head that left quickly. What a crazy sour flavor. I have had plenty sour beers, but this one seems to be the sourest so far. Sour cherries, and still acidic through the finish. Very yummy. Now to have this pucker surgically removed from my face....

Mar 21, 2007 0.375 bottle. Hazy red-amber color. Strong sour and leathery aroma with sulphur, rose, strawberry and cherry. Intense sour flavor with strawberry, raspberry and cherry. Fairy acidic beer, but not overly so.

Mar 18, 2007 750ml bottle at Cohen and Cook in Bowling Green, OH. Pours a lovely red with a thin head. The aroma is tart cherries and lambic funk and both dominate the flavor as well. Lively on the palate and sour, the tartness continues into the dry finish. I got a friend to try this one who doesn’t even like beer and she liked it, so that was nice.
