poured into a tall tulip. pours a clear slightly cloudy red pink with full fizzy head that was quick to dissipate. sweet yet very sour tart aroma. good smooth consistent palate with carbonation present yet hidden. sweet dry front of slight tart with wet finish and dry aftertaste. fruit is not in front, tartness and dryness is the prevailer, but fruit is in the background and grounds the complexity. very good full drink, great in a full glass.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle, thanks to dchmela. My pour was not as red as the picture... more of an orange red, and a little hazy. Minimal head upon pour. Very gueuzy acetic nose with sour lemony citrus, some funk and dust, and some surprisingly mild cherries on the nose. Great musty sour flavor. Really nice.

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.
