Sugar cane is again apparent on the nose. A common trait for Melbourn’s Lambic’s. This one is ever soft and gentle, with sutle apricot. Not quite as rich in appearence as I would have expected. Flavour is where the disapointmnet hits. Suprsingly void of apricots, a real shame considering how well they nailed their cherry version. The finish is almost non-exsistent. A small relief is that it is smooth on the palate. A pity.....it statred off so well.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours a nice clear golden color with a lasting white head. Smell is sweet apricots and malt. Sugary. Taste is sweet, apricot candy like. Nice and bubbly and sweet and lightly tart in the finish. Very italian soda like, but enjoyable and a bit short of cloying. Tasty.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention with some lacing. Aroma consists of real apricot without any fake syrup as well as some subtle sour notes. Taste is again dominated by some nice real apricot taste without the domination of the fake syrupy fruit stuff you sometime find in those beers. Great carbonation with a somewhat full body. I really enjoyed this for what it was and wouldn’t mind having a more regular access to this beer.

Jun 22, 2008 Pours a clear dull gold with a nice small head & some lacing, and a sweet apricot aroma. Tastes of sweet apples & apricots, very nice! Bit of a sourish finish. Creamy body with good carbonation. Very quaffable.

May 22, 2008 Pours clear golden, plenty of bubbles and a rich white head. Nose has subtle notes of apricot but mostly sugar cane and wild yeast. Very nice flavor with plenty of apricot sweetness balanced by the sourness of the wild yeast (could have erred on the sourer side, but this is nice). Body is light, plenty of effervescence, really quite pleasant. Overall a very pleasant lambic--and from Britain no less!
