Aug 19, 2008 Red with bubbly white head. Aroma is tart and full of leather, in addition to cherry and slightly-vinegar dust and hay, some serious funky urine hiding in there. Flavor is a near perfect balance between sweet, tart cherries and slightly sour vinegar, hay; it’s a little on the sweet end, but the sour cherries are long-lasting. Dry yet refreshing. This isn’t more complex than other lambics, but for me, it’s as satisfying as any that I’ve tasted.

Jul 28, 2008 Corked bottle. Musty, dank basement sour cherry malt aroma. Cloudy ruby red color with minimal head. Musty dry, tart sour cherry flavor. Very nice traditional fruit lambic.

Jul 21, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to emacgee for sharing! Extremely rich lambic, with just faint tastes of the kriek in there. It’s well served by the deep dry flavors of black cherries, as something brighter would just spoil the complexities of this lovely dry funk, with its lengthy finish. Delicious.

Jul 6, 2008 Cloudy red color with a small pinkish head. Sour funky cherry nose. The taste is very similar with a barnyard funk and over ripe cherries.

Jul 3, 2008 Ruby-red with a tightly packed head. Full-feeling body, some from carbonation no doubt. Surprisingly zingy tart-sourness, with elements of catty bile and vinegar. I actually like those things, when done right. Had a quenchy zip to it, too. Sharp and cutting, yet tasty.
