Whole line of fruits and greaps, coutntry, outhouse, old smelly socks! Taste is very bitter for a lambic, sweetness in the finish. A bit woody, sugary, not very acid for a lambic, obvious vanilla and flowery. Exceptional and very very very underrated imho rauchbier (3002), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England

Excellent big leathery lambic notes in the nose, sweaty leather and a citric tartness in the mouth and a long dry funky finish laced with tannins.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 13, 2008 Barrel #59 @ Ebenezers. Pours a bold, bright golden-orange color; mostly headless; slightest viscosity. Huge amounts of tropical fruits, cantaloupe, honey, and very fresh, pitty raspberries in the aroma; huge amounts of generous raspberries with touches of Amarillo resininess. Relaxed carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel chewy, slightly pitty tropical fruits, mildly tart citrus, funk and touches of honey-kissed sweetness; very different from standard lambics: lively, lightly tart tropical fruits / raspberries, and herbal notes; fresh, pitty, and delightful. Medium finish: toasty malts, tropical fruits, and some lemony tartness and funk; very nice stuff. MrWalker (927), Stockholm, Sweden

Very dry and refreshing, surprisingly high CO2 content, though not over done. Fruits and berries linger in the aftertaste. Highly recomendable if you are into Lambics. Not a beer for muggles. ekstedt (2446), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 4, 2008 From a wooden barrel at Zythos beer festival 2008. Clear deep golden with a few bubbles. Cidery aroma with green apples, leather, blue cheese, wood. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Dry with a subdued sourness. Oakes (8108), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 15, 2008 Updated: Jun 24, 20092 years old. Bottle. Special procurement. Dark amber colour. Muddy. Loose head. Barnyard aroma and some foot. Earthy nose - lots of bugs and cheese. Very low carbonation. Earthy, funky, and ultra cheesy palate with a sweet & sour finish. Excellent balance, crazy funk. Very rustic and scrumpyish. 9-4-9-5-19 = 4.6
Re-rate: This sampel, from WSF, was hazy dark straw and flat. It was tart in the front turning sweet later. Cidery, with a grapefruity tartness. Fairly simple, dull lambic but remaining quite drinkable. Certainly not the same stuff showcased at CBC ’08. 6-3-7-3-14 = 3.3; rating is a blend of the two. ChristianScheffel (4632), Odense, Denmark
