Apr 26, 2008 BB 4/14/2026 Strongly smells of ass and vinegar. Worst smell ever. Ruby red, thick pink head. Extremely sour. Once the initial shock subsides, there are cherries and cranberries at midpalate. Almost undrinkably sour with a horridly off smell. I can appreciate a good sour beer, but this just didn’t taste good.

Apr 8, 2008 375mL bottle, BBE4/14/2026. Vigorous pour gets me a a deep red colored beer with big fluffy pink foam that slowly fades to a thin layer. Aroma is cherry pits, oak and funk, just how I like it. Flavor is a little out of whack, real big on the cherry pie filling, then fades into a strange starchy flavor that’s a little metallic. Good but not great.

Mar 16, 2008 Ølbaren 2008.03.11 - Thanks for sharing. Deep red with a pink head. The aroma has notes of barnyard and hints of cherries. The flavour is sour, but refreshing, and it has notes of barnyard and hints of cherries. I would have liked the cherries to be more dominant and the barnyard to be less pronounced.

Mar 9, 2008 Let me start off by saying that I am not the biggest fan of most lambics (faro’s seem to be an exception). Smells of lambic yeast with some cherries far in the back. Pours with a large, pink head covering a muddy, bright red body. Good retention. Extremly sour and tart, but lambics aren’t my thing. Mouthpuckering describes the mouthfeel. My girlfriend liked it, I did not.

Mar 2, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Wohlenbergs, Sønderborg.
[My 400th Belgian rating]
Pours a wonderful deep, dark red. A rather large bubbly and fizzy pink head. Aroma has lots of barnyard, cherries, tartness and brett. Some oranges, light touch of vanilla and a bit of vinegar as well. Medium carbonation - relatively full mouthfeel. Flavour is very, very tart, lots of berries. A distant touch of dark roasted caramel, nuts and tobacco. Long lingering tart finish with lots of nice berries. This is a seriously nice lambic!
