Thanks for sharing, Kevin. Poured with a dark red body that had a pink head. The aroma is tart with and dry with vinegar, hay and barnyard. Any fruits are very subtle. The taste is tart with lemons and some hay. There is also some cherries and a little rich leather in the finish. A well made and accessible lambic.

25.4 oz bottle, 3/1/05. Hazed magenta with a thin pinkish ring. Nose is cherry and almond, spring rain and horse blanket. Tart and puckery but silky smooth. Juicy and mouthwatering with soft, delicate carb. Taste is cherry jam, lemon juice, pith and pits with a dry, leathery finish. A wonderful sweet and sour duet.

Bottled on March 1, 2005. Finishes dry and woody. Nicely fruity sweet yet dry. Yeast has some barn flavors especially towards the bottom of the bottle, but overall not that strong; they combine with the wood nicely. I would describe it as more tart than sour. Fairly light carbonation.

Bottle 75cl.
Clear dark red color with a small, fizzy, fair lancing, mostly diminishing, light red head. Aroma is moderate cherry, almond, woody notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and acidic - tart with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat to soft. Very very nice ;o)) (240508)
