It’s incredible what 10 months has done to this beer. Extreme initial tartness has mellowed to reveal an amazing drink, an outstanding aperitif of sumptious fruit. 75 cL bottle pours a deep maroon-red, pinkish-white head fades fast. Huge nose of raspberry--real, fresh raspberry--with notes of lemon and bits of old goat cheese (wish I had some to pair). Incredibly juicy flavor, Intense but reasonable fruity tartness, with a wave of dryness bubbling out of the champagne-like mouthfeel. That real fruit reigns throughout.

bottle @ WTF OMG! Nose was huge rubber, michelin, burning, funky as hell, autolysis, apple skin, sour grapes, raspberry, loads of acidity. Flavor was an overwhelming rubber flavor, loads of rediculous funk, cheesy, horsey, the whole 9 yards. The rubber was tough to get past.

Bottle shared by sliffy. Deep ruby pour with a white film. Aroma of funk, wood, sour vinous fruits, and barnyard. Flavors were sour/tart berries, oak, pale malt, and funk. Light body, sour/tart/woody with a woody/sour finish. Nice stuff!

[Bottle, thanks Hellomynameis!] Pours hazy red with a tiny small pink head. Aroma is really really funky and sour with some cherry and a good deal of yeast too. Taste is quite sour with the funkiness once again strongly evident and some cherry. Medium thick mouthfeel with a bit of a dry finish. A nice lambic, but aside from being really funky, it really didn’t set itself apart.

Bottle shared by miketd at lb4lb’s tasting. Poured a deep pink color with a thin, fizzy pink head. Aroma of tart, sour cherries and some berry, but not in the most appealing way. Some yeast also. Flavor is pretty tart with strong flavors of raspberry and sour cherry, some barnyard funk, and a light yeastiness on the finish. Crisp and moderately dry. Pretty nice beer.

Pours red with a small pink head. Aroma is funky, woody, and raspberry. Very nice flavor, sweet tart and sour all balanced nicely.

There is a lot of barnyard and funk in this aroma with some sour cherry notes and a bit of raspberry sweetness. It is nicely carbonated with some soft fizz on the tongue. Lots of raspberry up front with a bunch of lactic sourness with tart cherries finishing it out. Really nice overall with some very interesting flavours.

From a bottle shared at the Grand Tasting during RBSG 2008 in San Diego. Lots of sour cherries in the aromas and sweet sourness in the flavor. An excellent lambic, one of my favorite of the day.
