Jan 6, 2008 Pours rusty to yellow with a pretyt big off-white head. Big funk on the nose, hay, lots of barrel presence. Tastes very tart dry and woody, some vinegar, and for whatever reason, I was not getting much cranberry flavor no matter how much I tried. Perhaps I’m too new to the world of higher class fruit lambics to really know what they’re all about. Medium bodied and full of carbonated. This was okay overall, the aroma was my favorite part.

Jan 5, 2008 (750ml bottle) Pours a amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of tart cranberries, dry dustiness, acetic, and faint funky barrel. Flavor of acidic cranberry, earthiness, pepper, and some damp mustiness that in turn finishes dry.

Jan 3, 2008 Fruity acetic aroma, with a touch of red fruit- obviously cranberry. Slightly creamy head with a very small amount of lacing. Taste is fizzy club soda-like, oak, touch of cranberry, and dull fruit. Very carbonated and fizzy mouthfeel completely detracts from the overall flavor of the beer. This was a great beer to start, loved the aroma, liked the taste a lot to start with, but it was so damn fizzy that it detracted from the overall mouthfeel, taste, and enjoyment of the beer.

Sep 17, 2007 25 oz bottle. Pours a dark ruby to brown colored body under a foamy beige head. The nose is very lambic like with lots of dry dusty cellar funk with some pixie stick sugaryness and some fruitiness. Can’t say I would have pegged this for cranberry if I hadn’t known, but they’re identifiable enough when you’re looking for them. Flavor is quite tart and sour with a slightly bracing acidic middle. The tartness of the cranberry really melds well with the funky yeastiness. Finishes with a mix of cranberry skins and oak that lingers nicely. Mouthfeel is dry and tart with a slightly puckering tartness and nice prickly carbonation. Overall, I thought that this was pretty awesome. I need more cranberry lambic.
