Pours reddish, still

Taste, lots of cherries, with light creamy mouthfeel and touch of sour. Light notes of sugar.
Sour remained very mild. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Jan 31, 2009 375ml Bottle at Novare Res.
Pours a brown reddish color with just a light head that lingers as a ring. Aroma is musty like dirty socks and soured fruit. Flavor initially is very tart, and that continues into a dry sweet-tart finish. Flavors are almost cheese or yogurt like. The first smell/sip was a shock, but as i progressed through this beer i started to enjoy it a little more. Lambics are new to me, but as i develop my taste for them i think they’ll end up being one of my favorites. This beer blew my mind, and I kind of liked that!

Jan 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours the color of a ruby grapefruit with a wispy but bubbly head. Aroma is sour, with tart cherries, and green grapes. Flavor features strawberry and crisp green apple in the front-palate, with a prickly mouthfeel. Flavor ends with firm tartness, strongly reminiscent of red grapefruit and lemon juice. This style is not for the faint hearted, but I loved it.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottled, older, but of unknown vintage. Poured red berry-tinted caramel with just a dusting of swirly head. The aroma opened with strong, musty, almost moldy raspberries (in the best way possible) with notes of lemon tartness, wet blankets, and other assorted funk around.. well-presented. The flavor had a lot of the same components (raspberries and vinegary tartness were most prevalent), but also picked up a bit of sweetness that detracted from the experience a little.. still funky, but the sweets masked some of that. Medium-bodied and tart overall on the palate with a dry final impression.. again the sweetness wasn’t unpleasant in and of itself, but it didn’t work too well with the beer. I’ll gladly drink this again.

Jan 20, 2009 2000 batch, poured beautiful ruby with a touch of brown and no head. Huge nose of tart cherries and wood. Same in the flavor but even more intense. Lasting woody finish.
