Brewed by Hanssens Artisanaal
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Dworp, Belgium

Bottle. Aroma is acetic and funky with fruit tones. Bright gold with light carbonation but no head. Good balanced acidity with a slight barnyard eathiness. Pleasant.

cute pink flavor, little smokiness. Bitter and definitely sour. Some fruit flavors, but not tasting strawberry specifically. Bottle from Knightly Spirits, Orlando.

Bottle. Pours an unclear golden beer with a weak offwhite head. The aroma is berries, strawberry, grass, wood and sulfur. The flavor is acidity, strawberry and fruit. The palate is dry and the beer has a low carbonationlevel. Overall an average beer.

Cloudy gold pour. Sour and fruity aroma. Flavor has tart strawberries, wet earth, and some tart yeasty qualities.

Pours a hazy flat orange amber. Tart strawberry, vinegar puckering and funk aroma. Taste is less puckering and light in body with tart vinegar, some notes of strawberry and funk, funk and more funk.

Hazy golden with no foam. A beautiful sour aroma with a light fruitiness that displays the strawberry little, if at all. The slightly effevescent beer is wonderfully tart and earthy. Mushrooms, dough, earth and minimal strawberry all show in this refreshing lambic.

2006. Purchased at Downtown Liquors - Somerville, MA. An easy cork pull and little pop. The classic lambic aroma lifts into the nose, with a pungent mushroom-like earthiness, distinct goat-like tanginess, and the completely unique lambic funkiness. A hint or a swirl of green strawberry fades in and out. Pours an even hazy straw golden, with little carbonation or head. Flavor is precise and tart. Green bitterness is immediate. Any strawberry flavor is fleeting and hard to pin down. It comes up as a faint bit of jamminess in the back of the throat. Some rubbery yeast characters and then a faint floral sweetness. A kind of bland, flaccid acidity and then some dry shortbread. I’m honestly quite underwhelmed with this. I like my lambic with some carbonation and if supposed to have fruit, hit me with some damn strawberries. Mediocre.

bottle, many thanks to pivnizub! Clear golden yellow colour, no head. Hardly any carbonation visible. Sour-fruity nose. The beer starts with lots of tart fruit flavours, strawberries detectable in the background. Dry and tart mouthfeel, not sour, though. Hints of oak aged vintage cider combined with the attributes of a classic Gueuze with somevery very shy strawberrie flavours lingering in the background.
