Commercial Description:
In the spring of 2006, I brewed 300 gallons of top-fermented beer using wild yeast to create a Belgian-style Lambic. We conditioned the beer in oak casks and then initiated a secondary fermentation in the casks using whole fruit from Huber's Orchard in Starlight, Indiana. You should experience a tart, almost sour taste balanced by the aromatic and richly flavorful addition of whole strawberries - perfect to share with friends, and a platter of good cheese and fresh fruit. - Caleb Staton, Head Brewer

Gushed a little. Poured a cloudy pink/golden color with a very light pink foam. The aroma was big wild yeast, strawberries, and some light oak. Flavors were sour/funky yeast, strawberries, green apples, and oak. A most excellant lambic. Huge thanks to pnista for hooking me up with this!

Bottle GTMW 2008 Wow! Lots of fruit: strawberry! Lactic, sweet aroma. Taste is also sour with lots of strawberry tartness and some dull fruitiness. Finishes with more puckering sourness. Awesome.

750ml Bottle, thanks to Axilla, shared at Ebenezer’s. Poured light hazy amber in color with a small ring of bubbly head. Aroma of brett, strawberry’s, and fairly sweet. Taste is very nicely tart with notes of Strawberries. Nice bubbly body, with a fair amount of puckering sourness. Awesome.

Special pouring during GTMW ’08 at 2 pm via 750 ml bottle. Thank goodness someone brought a corkscrew! Pours a hazy and dirty golden amber lambic with a fizzy off-white head that slowly dissipates clean. Aroma of tart strawberries, some yeast, a touch of barnyard funk, and a touch of powdered sugar. Taste is semi-tart berries and strawberries, even a touch of cherries. Finish continues a light strawberry tart aftertaste, a slight dry character with some nice yeast funk added.

Bottle courtesy of yjb. Pours amber with a white head. Smells of strawberries, tarte, sugar. Tastes tarte, oaky and sour with a slight hint of residual sugar on the finish.

Shared by the gracious jjpm. Pours a very murky golden color with a medium sized head that fades quickly. Aroma is nice with lively light strawberry jam. Very natural springtime kind of feel to it. Then young/wild tart strawberries. Taste is again light strawberry jam but they come with light spikes of sourness. Then finishes with a a seltzer carbonation. A bit of light brett breaking through the tart strawberries as well. Very nice, a bit of a step up over the blueberry.
