COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lambics have been made in Belgium for over 500 years and we are honoring this tradition by brewing our own Indiana version. Upland lambics are fermented by wild yeast and aged in oak casks for over a year which creates a tart, complex beer. We then add whole cherries, giving the beer enticing aromas and flavors. The beer is bottle conditioned which adds a zesty and refreshing carbonation. Upland Lambic is the perfect drink to share with friends over a plate of good cheese and fresh fruit.

Plovmand (4690) - Helsinge, DENMARK - FEB 4, 2012
Bottle at hallinghansen grand tasting. Pours cloudy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is almond, cherries, acid, sweet fruit and barnyard. The flavour is quite acidic with notes of sour cherries, grape fruit and wet wood. Quite vinegar like.

2010 bottle opened like a fountain, leaving lots of yeast sediment in the brew, and losing 25% of the bottle in the process. That sucks. The beer is a pinkish red with a pink head. Aromas are cherry, wood, funk....smells great. Taste is also good with it being quite sour and lactic. Notes of cherry and vanilla with tartness prevailing. Overall, disappointed that the beer is a gusher, pleased with other aspects of the brew.

Bottle via hoosiers1994, thanks Chris! Another Upland semi-gusher. Popped the cork and had no real "pop" but then came the foam! Didn’t massively overflow like the Strawberry but poured down for a good minute. The gush upended the sediment on the bottom of the bottle and thus this one poured a very hazy pinkish color. Floaters a plenty as well. Aroma was funky and tart in an odd way. Much more funk than any of the others I’ve tried to date. Taste was very sour with some cheese in there as well. The tartness of the cherry comes through in very small ways but a very subtle amount. Overall, another disappointment with what really could have been nice.

750ml bottle. Pours pink with good carbonation. Pretty sour here not in a bad way at all but the cherry is minimzed. Not bad overall but have had better.

Very barnyard funk on the nose with hints of cherry. Pours a hazy pink. Very acetic and very very funk. There is a bitter cherry flavor. Very funky weirdly bitter aftertaste. Not my favorite.

Wow, smells so good like the smoothes cherry tart pie you have ever tasted. Pours thick cloudy pink with some nice sediment. The flavor is tons of sour cherries so nice on the palate, so smooth. The flavor of tart cherry pie is so refreshing on the tongue with just the right carbonation.
