Sampled on Tap at Monk’s Cafe’ in Philadelphia. Aroma was predominatly sour with a spicy, sweaty character. This pour was pretty much still thus there was no head and the aormatics did not belie the flavor. Flavor was dominated by by the brett character with a earthiness and backed by a subtle light maltiness midpalate. Sour acidic finish sets in and finish is very wine-like. Mouthfeel is a mix of slightly slick residual sugar and drying acidity. Wheat presence not necessarily noted but probably added a bit of richness. Carbonation would make the beer a bit more excting on the palate. Overall, a very sour, lambic beer that could have been better and a bit richer, but still worth the sample, especially on draft!

Cask at Spuyten Duyvil. Unremarkable aroma, just funk. Light fruity notes, even berries, in the flavor with some funk. Grows while in the glass. Lack of carbonation doesn’t help the mouthfeel. Decent.

Pour is hazy orangey amber with a still appearance and no head...smell is sour and funky which I expected...taste is slightly sour with lots of apple...I don’t think this is as refreshing as a regular lambic due to the stillness...interesting though...

Pours clear, light, golden orange with absolutely no head and just about zero carbonation. Aroma: Sour, yeast, lots of wood, earth, sour grapes, almost wine like, unripened tangerine, dandelion, sweat, barnyard. Taste: Initially slightly puckering, sour, some acidic oak-like notes, almost citrus (lemon, tangerine, lime), has many characteristics similar to wine, vanilla, watery. I don’t like the complete lack of carbonation here; some carbonation would make this beer crisper on my palate, though maybe my bottle was just off by some chance. Sticky palate, finishes almost like you have a coating on your teeth and mouth. My first unblended and this is pretty good.

The bottle I got was totally flat. Still had a good arama and flavor, but I think it would have tasted better with a little carbonation. Not nearly as sour as I was expecting either.

2005 vintage; Nose of tartness, barnyard; Gold color with little or no carbonation; less body and not as sour as the Iris we had last week; flavor shows the acidic side of things with some small apricot like notes.
