Bottle: This one pours a brown/red color with a similar color head, just lighter. Smell is a tart. I note cherry in this one. The taste is pretty much the same, cherry, maybe a bit of apple taste as well, I get. This is only my second lambic, but I enjoy this one.

Rated at the Pewaukee Tasting II 5/5/07. Aroma – this one make my spinal cord twitch. Super tart, almost Cantillon-like, lemon musk. Appearance – Clear, dark brown with a light head; lots of floaters (not the first pour). Flavor – Very dry, stinging sharpness, some dark fruitiness

Bottle shared by Skyview. Dark reddish brown color with very little head (though others at the tasting had towering heads). Strong cherry aroma. Plenty more cherry in the flavor with lots of oak and sweet malt. The sourness and tartness balance out well towards the finish, though neither is screamingly strong.

Pour is deep reddish black with a nice thin tight bubbled tan head...smell is tart cherry and lots of funky wood...brett and faintly lactic with lots of horseblanket and barnyard with a subtle almost vanilla aspect to it...the taste is not nearly as tart or funky as the nose...lively yet delicate carbonation brings out a more sweet rather than tart cherry flavor...as it warms a little more tartness definitely comes out, but still not as much as I would like...the funk though is very apparent with lots of wood flavors too...this is a really terrific effort and I bet the next lambics turn out better!

Corked bottle and served in my New Belgium flute glass: Pours a deep reddish hue topped by a forever lasting off-white frothy head and outstanding lacing. The nose detects a heavy cherry, moderate Brettanomyces and barnyard yeast esters, fairly earthy as well with a light note of fresh oak. Smells the part if you ask me. <br /><br /> Leading up to the taste and after the aroma profile I had high hops for this fruit-lambic but was more worried about finding some over-sweet Plambic instead... Well, still not has crisp as some of the classics, this beer is more akin to the traditional style than most found outside Belgium. That said this beer is closer to a Flemish Sour Brown that a Fruit-Lambic...Well the earthy and barnyard yeast character is very noticeable along with an over ripened cherry and oaky dry finish. Already developing depth and I expect it to gain richness with ageing. Get some for yourself. (FYI, zero problem with the cork, maybe time has smoothed that issue as well)
