Oct 10, 2005 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Burgundy. No head. Aroma of lemon, cider, brett, socks, cheese, wood, lightly vinous. Slightly less sourly acidic (only slightly!) than most Cantillons, and with an extra layer of woody complexity. Superb dry finish. Gorgeous.

Oct 5, 2005 Updated: Mar 6, 2007Sampled at Logan’s RateBeer tasting. Thanks to me for bringing this. Alluring clear cherry-amber hue with a sudsy, effervescent off-white head. Aroma of barnyard, sweat, cranberries, and sharp acidity. Flavor follows the cranberry theme, basically tasting like sour grapes, with substantial oak character. Super dry with palate-scouring sharp acidity. This is an amply sour, yet somewhat soft and interesting lambic. Later sampled on draught at Capone’s in Norristown, which was also a pleasant experience.

Sep 22, 2005 It had one of those aromas you have to think about carefully: hard to put into words. At first I thought there was a definite fruity sweetness, but then I wasn’t so sure, as a sour cidery note prevailed. Colour was a cloudy dark red, nearly purple. Short-lasting rosy head. Taste was sharply sour and fruity with a long bitterness at the finish. Unusual, thought-provoking, enjoyable.

Sep 2, 2005 (Bottled 2004, 0.375l) Deep ruby red color with a smallish, fading head. Tart and fruity aroma and flavor with wood and cherry hints. Medium-bodied, white-wineous, balancedly tart palate with quite low carbonation. A very enjoyable and refreshing, tart and balanced brew.

Aug 29, 2005 Bottled: Reddish coloured. Hazy. Light reddish head. Wood, sourness, light barnyard and loads of berries in the nose. Flavour is quite sour with a light sweet touch to balance. Quite acidic and dry. Raspberries notable. Ends on a very dry fruity sournote. Quite drinkable and interesting.

Aug 21, 2005 Red currant red. Pink, lively head. Lambic-ish barnyard aroma with a touch of brie cheese. The flavour brings grape skin and red currants. Tasty.

Aug 18, 2005 Bottle, RBESG 2005, Grand Tasting. Cloudy reddish colour with brownish tones. Intense barnyard and "fruits of the forest" aroma. Intensely sour flavour, lemons with notes of raspberries and blackcurrants. Overpowering and delightful at the same time.

Aug 15, 2005 Reddish brown copper body with thin reddish head that sticks to the ring. Sour sweet aroma. Puckering flavor, typical of a strong lambic and a bit much for my taste. Clean sour finish.
