Bottle at Toncatchers T3. Pours a sorta pinkish color, no mention of head in the notes. The aroma is funky with loads of barnyard smells. The taste is very sour with tart berries, leather and wood. The mouthfeel was silky smooth with light carbonation. The finish was dry. Overall: A very nice lambic.

Served from a bottle at toncatchers T3 tasting! Thanks to stefanje, lagunitasfan, weeheavysd, fordest, wetherel, alohac and of course toncatcher for suppling the house and grub. A very nice Lambic. Lots of sour and funk. I liked it.

Why is the name of this changed the bottle says different. Bottle you know it, you know it from juiceisloose. Thanks Jus to the Is Tin. Pours reddish pink with a tan ring. The nose is so nice I want to smell this or so everyday for ever, its so good, not a 10 but I don’t want to post a thread about what your favorite smell represents I don’t want to see any fecofeliacs on the forums they should stay home. Taste is sweet and rich and tart and funky and overall nice.

Bottle… Pre-C&P’sLYFO Throwdown… Murky, dregs-like, cherry-red ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Aroma of leather, manure and horse blanket – funk house fun – minimal fruit. Light to medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and nearly expired carbonation. Sour as hell. Finishes tart and watery, but eventually dries out a touch. Mucho kudos to TheCheeseMan for providing the bottle!

Bottle. Sampled at post-NOTB tasting (Thanks Paul!) and multiple samples at Zythos America. Pours murky purple, capped with a small pink head. Sharp lactic aroma, with blackcurrant and wood. The flavor is not as acidic as the aroma, with notes of blackcurrant, earth, wood, and mild tartness. Very drinkable, with medium body and light carbonation. Really delicious beer.

C&PLYFOTD: Bottle. Pours a reddish pink hue, with a limited head and lacing. Big dry tart nose, with massive amounts of cherries and toasted grain. Dry flavors, tart, grainy with cherries, and thick oily hops in the finish. Big body, easy to drink. Very good.

At Redlight. Not sure where this came from, but most likely TheCheeseman. Thanks. Pour is a nice dark pink. Small white head. Aroma of tart fruit and slight funk. Nice and tart but not too much. Pretty dry finish. Good, easy brew to down.

FRO throwdown: Awesome appearance at the tasting! Cloudy purple. Funky berries and green tomato vine plus spearmint that I always get from cassis. Low carbonation, mildly sour, more restrained acidity compared to other Hanssens I’ve had. Flavor features more spearmint and fruit.
