12.7oz corked & caged bottle from grape & gourmet. pours a nice, light burgandy with hints of pink and absolutely zero head. aroma was honestly nauseating with ridiculous funk, sweat sock, herring, wet hay, and a touch of red berry. flavor was not much of an improvement with unpleasantly tart notes of black currant, raspberry, and green apple with loads of red vinegar and brett funk. palate was light bodied and completely flat. overall, one of the worst "beers" i have ever tasted. my first ever drainpour after 328 ratings, wow, this was terrible.

Pours reddish purple with no carbonation. Barnyardy brett aromas get you right in the thyroids with a little cassis in there. Flavor is straight up tart cassis. Overall a very excellent lambic but would be better with a little carbonation.

Bottle. Pour is a brilliant hazy purple with no head and no evidence of carbonation. Aroma is lambic funk, wood, strawberry, and gym sock. Flavor is tart up front with loads of raspberry, cassis, and blackberry. The middle. The middle is more berries and the finish is a bit sour and a bit bitter with the lingering berry flavor. Leaves the mouth dry and wanting more liquid. Very dominant flavor.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours an almost clear deep red with no head. Aroma is rich on Barnyard, horse blanket and Brett with a light whiff of black currant. Medium body, completely flat, Brett accents, light black currant accents and some acetone making me cough. 270609
