Dec 10, 2006 Updated: Mar 26, 2007Pours a brown mahongany with a thin head. Smells of sourness, barnyard, hay, grass, horseblankets, stale cranberries. Tastes of cranberries and gueuze blended with some bitter metallic notes. Not quite mature yet, but a lambic that will do well as it ages.

Aug 11, 2009 A Mes rate: bottle at the ever brilliant Chris O’s Pre GBBF Extravaganza.
Thanks to Grant for giving me this one. Rich red chestnut colour with a good beige head. Excellent wood and brett. Very fruity. On the nose it’s very much Flemish sour with fruit. Rich yet surprisingly light at the same time. The cranberries are rather subdued but still really tasty. Superb sour lemony finish. Really clean. Excellent beer. Thanks again Grant for a rare treat.

Dec 15, 2006 Yikes! Aromatics or cranberry, oak and wine. Tart and sour with a kicking dry finish. Had this with some roasted chicken and it was fabulously food friendly. Wish I had another bottle to age for a year or so because I think this is a baby right now.

May 24, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a murky ruby brown color with a medium off white fluffy head. Nose is pungent, tart, cranberries, light barnyard funk, leather, and some oak. Tasted at 48 degrees. Actively carbonated that sharply attacks the palate, tart cranberries and light funk. 55 degrees and higher really shined through as expected, carbonation leveled off to mild wet palate. Initial taste of tart cranberry juice, barnyard funk, saltiness, oak and some smoke. Mid palate to finish continues with tart cranberries, mild hint of cocoa and grape skins. Palate duration is average but enjoyable. Dry finish. Head retention is excellent with good lacing of the glass. Light to medium body, very easy drinking and perfect for any celebration.

Apr 22, 2008 Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing - fizzy, dark amber beer - the aroma is equal parts tart cranberry skins and cherry sweetness, with some chocolate and warming spices - some tartness/acidity up front, but not as much as the aroma suggests - some mild earthy funk and fruit skins - a wee bit of leathery character - some red wine tannins - chocolate and a bit of sweetness arrive late, as do the cranberries - this is a really solid brew.

Aug 1, 2009 Bottled. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is wood, some berries, semi-sour but also quite sweetish notes. Flavour is quite muvh the same, a rather wellbalanced fruit lambic.

Aug 7, 2009 Bottle at the legend of Chriso’s pre GBBF09 Tasting. Alround rating: Good solid lambic characteristics, good funk and correct yeastyness, only fault is there seems to be a bit too much bitterness off the tannins from the cranberry skins or wood.
