4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Not sure who shared this bottle, but a big thanks. 750 ml bottle served in a Deschutes snifter. Bottle was a slight gusher.
A: Pours an extrememly cloudy yellow, very chilled haze, a white frothy head that leaves some swirls once it subsides.
S: Lots of fruits going on. I’m getting whiffs of mandarin oranges, a slight star fruit, a little pineapple. I guess this is what persimmon smells like? Either way it’s very enjoyable.
T: Very nice tartness with a nice sweet orange and pineapple sweetness. It really tasted good and I’m a big fan of this persimmon fruit. Little oakiness in there as well.
M: Light to medium bodied with a nice sugary coating quality to it. Nice spritz of carbonation with a slight drying finish.
O: The persimmon fruit was very delicious and seemed to take on qualities of many differnt fruits. Not overly sweet and was very drinkable.

Bottle generously shared by the Tampa Crew. Pours a hazy yellow with a white head. Nose is some citrus, some chalky persimmons, some vinegar, some tartness, and some orange and funky fruit. Flavor is similar with citrus, some vinegar, some funk, some sour fruit, and some persimmons. Nice sour with a fair amount going on.

Bottle shared at a local tasting, thanks Greg! Pours a clear yellow with a thin head, the aroma has a huge funky front end with all kinds of sour notes coming, the flavor is puckering sour, slight fruit in the finish mixed in with a little bit of sweetness in the finish though, kind of different but not bad.

Bottle. Gusher. Clear yellow pour with a white head. Sour fruit aromas. Tart and acidic with wonderful persimmon notes. Very acidic with loads of carbonation. My favorite lambic to date from Upland.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
750ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange color with some bits of persimmon floating around. Aroma is funky, sour, and fruity. Taste is sour and a little sweet. This is a fantastic lambic. Just great.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750ml bottle. Pale yellow body, looks filtered. Mega sour aroma, funky urinal barnyard. Bready fruit flavor, with some massive tart sourness. Island funked out fruit, but steady lime-lemon flavor the whole way. Big sour tones, huge lactic action.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Batch 71-09 shared by nuplastikk...thanks Greg! - Pours hazy pale yellow with next to no carbonation. Nose is wow...I realize I don’t know what a persimmon smells like. Kind of musty and muted tropical fruit with a bit of sourness. Taste is really sour...lots of vinegar tartness with the same fruit and some rotting qualities. Biting carbonation and thinnish body.

Soured yeast and citrus concentrate to form the intense aroma. Highly citric as the acetic acid pummels away at my mouth's precious organic tissues. Big blast of persimmons amidst the sourness. An excellent (and distinctly American-style) fruit sour.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy dull golden peach color with a small soapy white head. The aroma has funk, sweet fruity notes (I imagine it is the persimmon but it is not specific), floral, herbal and acidic. The flavor is sweet, tart, fruity, acidic and dry. There is a nice bite to the finish.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Beer shared at our pre thanksgiving whale tasting. Poured a hazy straw color. Smell of dry sour fruit. Never had a persimmon so really can’t make reference. Taste was dry citrus and sour funk. Not as sour as the other variants but still delicious. I’m a bit let down as this beer got such rave reviews but I would go for the raspberry if given the option

Pours gold with no head. Aroma of citrus, mostly orange and lemon. Tastes tart and citrusy, my favorite of the upland lambics.
