Apr 26, 2009 Updated: Jun 4, 2009Bottled sample, thanks to Todeon and andersand. Pours a beutiful purple/red color with white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of bluberries and funk. Flavour is very fruity and of course tart with berries. Quite dry, but with some sweeter notes from the berries, some earthy and grassy notes even, and a balanced funkyness. Very good stuff indeed. More balanced than their standard kriek for example - though it’s still sour, it’s not as extreme and just utterly tasty.

Apr 24, 2009 Batch 3 pours hazy ruby color with a thin off white head. Looks almost pink. Aroma is perfect. Blueberry, some funk, tart acidic character, and a touch more blueberry. I could just smell this all night. Medium light mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation. Flavor had blueberry, tart acid, funk, and had a nice balance between the fruit and the funk. The blueberry flavor was a little subdued on the taste. Otherwise this has got to be one of my favorites. Thanks Brad for sharing this!

Apr 2, 2009 Sampled at Houston RB tasting. Thanks to Maltomeal. Hazy, light purple color. Small white head. Nose is fruity, tart, tangy. Very effervescent, lemony, tart, tangy. I didn’t get much blueberry on this one but over a very tasty and well done beer.

Mar 31, 2009 March Houston Tasting. Thanks to MaltOMeal. Pours pink with bubbly head. Nose of tart blueberries and a touch of cherries. Flavor is sour blueberries, but it is not overwhelming like many Lambics can be. Dry, but not too dry. Easy to drink and very enjoyable.

Mar 15, 2009 Updated: Nov 15, 2009Bottle. Look: Looks like watery blueberry soup. Smell: The sour sparkling wine/vineager thing dominates the aroma. But there is also lots of berries in the background. Taste: Sour beer with a natural blueberry taste. Perfect tartness in the aftertaste. Overall: Really good fruit lambic. Not too sour, not too sweet. In Sweden a beer geek would call this a "lagom sur disktrasa".
