375ml bottle. Pours hazy yellow/honey color with no head. Smells lemony and yeasty, with red wine and maybe a hint of wood. Tastes of sweet wine flavors and a little bit of wood up front and then as you swallow the sourness really hits. Some citrus type flavors, lemony. Very acidic, gives me that indigestion feeling in my gullet. Pretty good sour. Maybe medium body, hard to tell if it’s actually carbonated or not.

Jul 15, 2008 Thanks to toncatcher for sharing. Aromas of sour funk and tastes of wine and some sour fruits. Cherries, plums.

May 30, 2008 From a 375mL Bottle. Pale gold, mostly hazy body with a fleeting glimpse of head. Lightly acidic, musty aroma of lemon rinds and sauvignon blanc skins. Hints of peppery wood. Light bodied, nearly still mouthfeel with a thin texture and moderate acidity. Flavors are a bit acetic and vinegary with a dusty brett flavor. Lemon rinds and tart wheat crispness. Sour and vinous. Finishes dry, with a lingering tartness and hints of spicy oak. I’m not sure "clean" is the appropriate word for a beer like this, but the flavors are pretty much where I’d want expect them to be, making this a remarkable attempt at the style.

May 26, 2008 Flat, yellowish and dull-looking. Lemony nose with some spiderwebs. Sweet front with a tart finish. Clean lactic. Gripping late acidity, perhaps lacking a bit of complexity.

May 1, 2008 Updated: Jul 4, 2008Oh yeah...they did this one right also...great overal flavor...easy drinking...it may be a straight lambic but it tastes fruity from the wine barrels...and funky...with acetic notes and mandarine, lemon, lime...great for a twist on the style.

Apr 23, 2008 No head, orange beer with a metallic reflection. Very hard lambic nose, lactic, lemon, but also acetic, with some peeking phenols. Very lemony taste, some leathery Brett flavour. Tart as nothing else. Flat as a pancake - or an old lambic. Acidburn. In Belgium we would call this a harde lambic. But it is remarkably straightforward.
