fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - DEC 1, 2007
Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Red / dark amber color. Interesting aroma, mixing sourness, berries, light glue and citrus fruits aroma; light cellar smell too. Medium-light mouthfeel, some lemon juice flavor, sour but not aggressive, a touch of berries and malt, a bit astringent at the end. Not bad, but something is artificial.

larsniclas (4981) - Billdal, SWEDEN - OCT 27, 2007
Sampled at SBWF, 2007. Blue-redish with small head. Rather sour with a light fruitiness. Some rubber-notes.

screwball (1098) - Motala, SWEDEN - OCT 18, 2007

Marsiblursi (2952) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - OCT 11, 2007
(Bottle) Pours light hazy mahogany. Ratter authentic lambic aroma with a medium citric/sour profile. Some unripe berries and fruits are also present with vague hints of blueberries. Light tones of unripe blueberries in the flavour with a nice medium sour, tart and dry base. Quite good, but a lack of complexity is notable if you compeer it to the Belgian lambic´s.

ante (3374) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 10, 2007
Bottled at SBWF. Pours out in a cloudy reddish purple colour with a small reddish head. Lemon, light woody sourness and forest in the aroma with notes of blueberries. Fruity and rather sourish flavour of mild lemon and blueberries. Dryish finish with notes of blueberries and lemon-peels. Felt a bit lame compared to the blueberry lambic (and most traditional lambics) brewed for Ölbutikken in Cph. Still pretty tasty, refreshing and drinkable.

Svesse (5196) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - OCT 6, 2007
(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2007) Reddish brown colour with purple notes, brief frothy reddish beige head. Acidic, fruity nose with hints of wild berries (hard to pinpoint the plueberries). Fruity, sourish taste with notes of blueberries (better blueberry character in the taste than in the aroma). A bit thin. Interesting, but to be honest more interesting than impessive.

Theis (11061) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - OCT 4, 2007
Bottle at "Stockholm Beer & Whiskey Festival 2007". Cloudy red - pink head. Sweetness, white sugar, blueberries, light acid, light bike-glue. A bit watery and boring.

TBone (9999) - Pori, FINLAND - SEP 28, 2007
Bottled
Deep red color, not much head. Sour fruity aroma, some horseblanket. This lambic is sweet and soir, like drinking blueberry milk mixed with lambic. Sourness is not as intensive as in the "real thing".

pilsnerrogge (2271) - Finspång, SWEDEN - SEP 26, 2007
bottle
Red, almost purple colour. No head. Sourish aroma with notes of blueberries and cranberries. Sourish blueberry flavour ruined by some odd, nasty off-flavour.

Ungstrup (26217) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 25, 2007
Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear red beer with a thin off-white head. The arom ais acidic bret’y combined with notes of berries and wood. The flavor is acidic woody combined with notes of berries - can’t tell it is blueberries - , leading to a dry woody and bretty finish. The body is thin, but I quite like it.
