Bottle. Thanks to adnielsen for sharing at the 2012 Midwest Beer Summit. Slightly tart, coffee aromas and flavors. I don’t think the flavors mesh very well in this beer.

Bottle. Pours dusty orange with white head. Nose is fresh coffee, fresh grass and herbs. Taste is same with dried grains and some mild funk. Medium body. Finishes a little bit fruity/bretty. Okay.

330 ml bottle - pours clear golden with tiny to no head. Aroma is that of very sharp meerely roasted coffee with a lot of green touches - grassy and butter flower. Weird combination with the funky sourness as well. Body is light uyet sharp with peppery notes, nice acidity, coffee is assing sharpenss. OK

37.5cl bottle from HopDuvel. Orangee, col blanc fin. Arome cafe, bouquet de veilel levure renfermee, houblon a cru et qcq notes citronnees, garde cette base de lambic jeune, grains et breve note aigre. Palais, force est d’admettre que on ressent bien le lambic avec un ajout de cafe qui reste agreable. Cafe se melange parfaitement avec le cote lambic, d’ailleurs je pense que ce dernier doit etre du jeune lambic. Laisse une breve note fruitee allant vers abricot etce cote aigre acidule typiaue pour un lambic. Au final, cette biere est un affrond our les puristes du style, mais le tout n’en demeure pas desagreable.

Bottle. Murky light orange yellow color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of coffee and orange juice. Taste is sour citrus, subtle cocoa, anise, subtle coffee grouns at the finish. Interesting.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Mild sourness with a mellow sweetness. Also quite bitter. Aromas of berries and coffee beans. Medium to light bodied. Lively carbonation. Dry finish.

Bottle. Figured what the hell. Pours a ever so slightly hazed orange amber color with a big fluffy white head, gotta say it looks nice. I can smell this things from about a foot away; funky, yeast, lemon, and a slight coffee note but the coffee really is secondary to the funky notes. Sour start gives way to a bitter lasting flavor. Grapefruit mixed with bitterness. Overall, meh, not very good.

Bottle from Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours cloudy golden with an attractive off-white head and a fruit and coffee aroma. It tastes like a traditional gueuze with a lot of coffee mixed in. This is a strange mix of flavors that doesn’t work very well. Nevertheless, it is worth trying just for the novelty.

Bottle. Amber beer with a big cream head. Tart/sour aroma with coffee. Sour/tart flavor with light acetic notes, coffee, and light frtuitiness. Medium bodied. Sour/tartness lingers with coffee and light acetic notes. Somewhat strange.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is malt, coffee, acidic, light grapefruit and light sulphur. Flavour is acidic, coffee, tart and sulphur. A little strange.
