Nov 12, 2009 I expected this to be much, much worse. I wonder if a lot of the raters of this beer have never had a sour before. Not that this is a fine example of a sour beer (or even really sour), but the sour notes were not off-putting. Hmmmm... what am I trying to say here? I didn’t hate this beer. Nose of wheat and cranberries and cherries and bananas. Mild spice. Not bad.

Nov 11, 2009 A reddish copper pour with a medium white head and good lacing. The aroma is very sweet with berries and bananas. The flavor begins with the sweet banana taste, then becomes increasingly tart and has a mildly sour finish. Reminds me too much of the cider brews that I usually avoid.

Nov 11, 2009 Medium level copper color. Smallish white head with good retention and no lacing.
Smells of butterey cranberries. Malty.
More of the same here. Cranberry is definitely front and center. Almost too sweet. Butterey, malty flavor follows. No bite at all.
Feels weak and (too) light. Not enough body for the style.
If I got this again, I’d probably give it away, instead of drinking it.

Nov 10, 2009 POurs a nice hazy purple red. Nose is yeast, mild tart, and bread. Flavor is semi tart, bready, yeasty, fruity, sour fruit, fresh cranberry. This beer cracks me up with the "lambic" in it’s name. It’s almost like its trying to be a clean funky sour.

Nov 9, 2009 Bottle. Poured a murky light red in color with a small fizzy head that was mostly diminishing with fair lacing. The aroma was that of bready malts and cranberries and well as a light scent of spice. It tasted sweet and acidic with a heavy cranberry wine like flavor. Mouthfeel was a little watery in texture with a light to medium body. Overall a nice flavored brew.
