Bottle Pours out a hazy orange with red highs topped with a very small white head. Aroma was berries, cherry pie, vinegar, and a tartness. Taste much like the aroma but with some nice light oak and vanilla notes. A big thanks to Toby for this one.

Bottle from the Wilmington location. Pours a really clear rose with a thin white head, great lacing. A looker. Pretty wild nose with sour cherries, brett, some vinegar must, and a higher lactic sourness. Really soft in the mouth. Quite sour, cherries and strawberries. Vinegar touch is somewhat off-putting, but not nearly as bad as with the Lambic de Hill. Nicely done, but I just cannot get into the vinegar profile in this. Others may dig it more.

2008 Bottle - Thanks Toby for pulling out one I’ve wanted to taste for a while!! Pours out ruddy orange with a small white head...aroma is tart pie cherries and light vinegar...flavour is similar, vinegar pucker, dry cherries, residual yeast provides a nice chalky balance to the pH...Buckeyeboy needed a spoon to finish the bottom 1/3 of the bottle...nicely done, can’t wait to try the others...

pours clear orangish. smell is sour, acidic, vinegary, and some cherry fruitiness. Flavor is a bit vinegary, but not too sour. A bit thin overall with some cherry flavor and sourness. watery palate. Unimpressive.

Rubby red grapefruit juice pour with whispy white head. Aroma of cherry cough drops, oak, lactic notes, some earthy yeast. A bit tart. Flavor is nice and tart, good sour and earthy cherry notes. Lightly oily body, long sour dry finish. Really sour.

Bottle from Wilmington. Pours orangy/deep brownish ruby and turbid, with nose of tart cherries, oaky earthy lactic yeast notes. Tastes tart, dripping with cherry flavor, earthy lactic notes, and yeasty notes. Stays tart throughout, and the repour gets even denser and thicker. Gets more tart near the end of the bottle, but stays very complex and amazing all the way through. Another truly delicious lambic from these guys.
