Theydon_Bois (3401) - The ’Sham, Surrey, ENGLAND - MAY 9, 2013
Bottle at home, from BOE, 09/05/13. Pours a lightly hazed golden with a frothy off white head, plenty of carbonation visible. Nose is sharp apple, wood, faint lemon sherbet, light metallic tones. Taste comprises tarte orchard fruits, light funk, barnyard qualities, lightly soured grape skins, tarte apple. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, not overly dry in the finish. Ok lambic but nothing I’d return to when better cheaper options are readily available.

Bottle. Golden beer with a fizzy head. The aroma is mildly sour and the flavour is more so sour with a fruity dryness. Overall an average sour ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
