Style: Lambic - Fruit
Kobbegem, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Bottled. Light currant aroma. Medium tart, citric, slightly sweet currant taste. I´m not a big fan of cassis regardless of the beverage, but this one was quite nice.

Frothy reddish brown beer with a nice strawberry like flavour even though it is cassis. The flavour is again fruity and overwhelmingly similar to strawberry. Overall an OK lambic.

Pours deep copper color with red tinged head. Nose is berrylike with sour and citrus character. Flavor is stingy, with tartness known with other lambics. There is an underlying sweetness. Dry tart finish.

Slightly hazy red to purple color, medium head. Aroma of sweet artificial fruit, blackcurrant, some marzipan. Sweet taste like most of the mort subite beers, and to this one they added a bunch of blackcurrant esters.

Brown/red/purple colour, with a thin fine head. big blackcurrent aroma, reminding me of purple winegums (for the NZ audience). Full, dry, tart blackcurrent flavour.

purpleish brown, nice fine bubbled head. Aroma is sweet fruit, blackcurrant, light woody sourness. Asringent oak, rich fruityness, Blackcurrant, grapes, and lime/citrus, sour dryness, spicy, with a clean finish.

A very lively beer, that blew the top of when opened. The color is a hazy red amber with a light brown huge head. The aroma is surprisingly sour - very nice - with clear notes of black currant, but also lemon. The flavor is sweet from the black currant, but on a quite sour, very fresh background, other notes is of lemon, grapefruit, and hints of wood.

(5 Apr 04) Has a big confectionary aroma of cassis (blackcurrant) and bubblegum, reminiscient of grape-flavour Hubba Bubba. It pours a medium red/brown with a large, rocky and creamy pinkish head. The body starts off heavily sweet and finishes long with a yoghurt sourness.
