Bottle. Hazy amber with a minimal head. Nice lemony lambiek aroma with hints of cheese. Sharp lemony flavours, some wood and mellow fruit, probably from the strawberries, the latter more towards the finish. Soft. The best strawberry beer around, I am sure.

Smell is fresh strawberries, sour, funkiness, and pretty good. Look is orange clearish with a thin head. Taste is sour, strawberry, yeast, funk. Very dry. Sort of thin. Pretty decent.

holy crap. i guess this is my first true lambic, and i was NOT prepared for it. pours totally flat and smells completely unlike any other beer i’ve had before (smells like yogurty urine).. maybe slightly of sour strawberries too. i work in a research lab and it feels like drinking a culture of E. coli or something similarly rancid. girlfriend says it tastes like bile vomit. my instincts are kicking in and i think they’re telling me not to drink this anymore. but i keep telling myself it’s an acquired taste and will drink it anyway

bottle shared by rustychiles... <br /><br /> pours hazy/nearly cloudy orange with no head whatsoever. quite tart and dry smelling... cinder block, pale malty sweetness, flowers and dry grass. the flavor is of unripe berries, tart apples, minerals and earth. there*s some faint cinnamon spiciness on the finish which is amplified as it warms. it*s clean and drying on the palate with a light body. <br /><br /> not too complex. but, for the price it*s quite good. nice beer to accompany lunch. or, in my case, before work! 7/3/7/3/16/3.6

Bottle shared by rustychiles. Hazy gold pour with a thin fizzy head. Sour fruity geuze-like aroma with a bit of yeast and funk. Under-ripe strawberries and apples in the flavor. Very low carbonation. Pretty good. Thanks Rusty!

Hazy orange with absolutely no head. Nice aroma of strawberries, tart horse and sourness. The flavour really impressed me! It is higly drinkable with clear notes of sweet strawberries contrasting with the acid and sour lambic underneath.
