Jeppe (2636), Ølbutikken, Denmark Feb 3, 2007 Deep unclear amber red with a thick lasting pink head. Fruity aroma with a vague brett character and some malt in the background. Lack of sourness. Malty, herby and berry flavor without much sourness. Rather dry and dusty on the tongue. I’m sorry to say that I didn’t find much lambic character in this one, look at it more like a fruit beer and it wins a bit. Not really a beer for me though - drinkable, but to me also forgetable.

Rather balanced fruit sweetness with an underlying tanginess. faroeviking (4418), Faroese Autonomous Beer Republic, Denmark Mar 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours a red-brown colour. Nice fruity bit sweet berry aroma with some sourness. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good berry and frutiness with a soft sweetness, some sourness and slight spice. Nice one.

Comments: Very interesting brew. A balanced, strongly wheaty, tart, juicy wild ale with an expanding foam and a very dry palate. Not as funky as some, but a most original beer with good fruit extraction.
CaptainCougar (4664), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 18, 2007 Bottle sampled on 6/23/07 shared by boboski: Pours a murky ruby with a frothy well-lacing white head. Imparts a lightly sweet, funky blueberry complexity to the nose. Body starts fairly full and well carbonated with a touch of earthy berry character toward a drier, semi-tart doughy finish. An interesting blueberry beer. gunnfryd (2743), Kristiansand, Norway Oct 28, 2007 Bottle. Copper colour with a white head. Aroma is dry, berries, yeast, sour. Flavour is dry, berries, yeast, sour. Nice beer.
