375mL bottle, courtesy of ygtbsm94. Thanks, Brad! Pours a slightly murky, honey-golden color; minimal head. Plenty of funk and cobwebs and tart citrus in the aroma; lightly toasted oak and the slightest hint of butter; lacking a bit of acidity - not quite as mouthwatering as I’d like. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: a lot more tartness and jaw-clenching acidity in the mouth than the nose; dense, pleasant wood and very light carbonation; dense citrus and no deviating fruit; some creaminess and salt comes through with the yeast. Lengthy, salty and tart citrus finish; some stale oak and breadiness.

Aug 26, 2008 12.7 oz bottle. Hazed copper with a ring of white bubbles. Nose is lemon peel, earth and leather. Medium light with a faint sparkle. Taste is lemon pith then juicy grapefruit. Oaky drying with hints of tangerine and apricot.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a fuzzy cider-esque golden-copper body with a fluffy white head that went away. Sour, tart, wheaten nose with lots of pucker factor. Funky, yet subtle and dainty. Acidic, dry, woody, nd well built gueuze. Yum!

Aug 16, 2008 To rate to style or to rate to personal liking...I will try to combine. Aroma is of a white wine with sour apple notes and hints of vinegar, wood, lemon and yeast. Appearance is cloudy apple juice with minimal carbonation, with the thinest of white heads around the edge. Flavor is sweet for a beer, apple, white wine, tart and wheat. Palate is thin but smooth, a slight sourness. For my first Lambic, it was a lot different than what I was expecting, still decent. And as strange as this beer was to me, I like it, I think its well done, balanced and not overpowering.

Aug 14, 2008 Sadly not what I’d hoped for. Watery with only the faintest sourness. The aroma was what I’d hope four - sour tart funk.
